“Cloverfield”

February 14th, 2008 · Comments

JJ Abrams is a cunning bastard. He’s already an old hand at confusing the shit out of his audiences, having done so for three and a bit seasons with “Lost” (which totally gives it to “Prison Break”), and now he’s decided to bring his art to the big screen. Despite all the mystery surrounding the [...]

“Semi-Pro”

February 13th, 2008 · Comments

If you haven’t seen it already, check out this trailer from Will Ferrell’s upcoming flick “Semi-Pro“. Looks like there might be some value in it.
“Suck my cock – I’ll murder your family!”
Classic Ferrell. Just classic.
If you’ve seen the trailer already, why not pop over and check out the “Semi-Pro” Old Spice tie-in? Clearly [...]

Tay Zonday wtf?

February 12th, 2008 · Comments

Lily Allen just interviewed this dude on her rop new talk show. Don’t know what the fuck his story is, but basically he recorded this totally stupid song, stuck it on YouTube, 14 million people checked it out and now Dr Pepper have bought his soul for the price of a Tay-to-the-Izzay remix, “Cherry Chocolate [...]

Super Krupa

February 12th, 2008 · Comments

SuperDuperKrupa indeed! Joanna’s a real beaut. She’s definitely looked hotter, and I’m sure she’ll think twice before letting Helen Keller do her makeup again (she looks like the Joker)…and maybe she doesn’t actually get out her cash and prizes – but she’s still Joanna Krupa. And that’s good enough for me.
Here’s another thing: [...]

“No Country For Old Men”

February 12th, 2008 · Comments

This movie, adapted from the novel by Cormac McCarthy (”All The Pretty Horses”), has been hyped to the max. It’s tipped to be a big winner at the Oscars in a few weeks and general consensus seems to be that it’s a masterpiece. So I’ll happily admit that I walked into the theatre with high [...]

Writers strike could be over

February 9th, 2008 · Comments

When these people strike, they really strike hard. How long has it been now? 14 weeks? Hell. That’s commitment to the cause. I know it seems like a stupid issue that no-one really understands (it has something to do with “new media” royalties), but unlike poverty, terrorism and global warming, this is a serious crisis [...]

Fun with tattoos

February 8th, 2008 · Comments

How many of you losers have lame-ass chinese tattoos, huh? I bet quite a few. And I bet they all mean something nauseating like “Light” or “Peace” or “Harmony”. Puke. If you do have a lame-ass chinese tattoo, check this out:

When teenager Joanne Raine had her boyfriend’s nickname “Roo” tattooed on her stomach it was [...]

“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”

February 7th, 2008 · Comments

Sweeney Todd. Sweeney Todd. A Nightmare On Elm Street 17: The Musical would’ve been a more appropriate title. Wow. Sweeney Todd. So much to say, so much to say. Where to begin? How about here:
It’s not actually that great.
I think people get unnecessarily excited by musicals. Musicals take us back to what many [...]

2007 Darwin Award Winners

February 6th, 2008 · Comments

…were announced recently. I love these. Check it out:
An alcoholic who died after giving himself a sherry enema has won the 2007 Darwin Award.
The 58-year-old Texan couldn’t ingest alcohol by mouth because of painful medical problems with his throat.
He took to taking alcohol by enema instead but died after taking two 1.5 litre bottles [...]

Super Bowl Commercials

February 5th, 2008 · Comments

“The most expensive advertising slots on television”, they say about the half-time gap during the Super Bowl. I’ll bet that’s not even true. I bet they just say that to keep fat idiots on the couch during the break instead of letting them wander off to have a kak or refill the pork-rinds bucket. [...]
