Shutter Island review

Films & TVDon't go to see it. Don't buy it on DVD. Don't even bother to download it illegally. It's crap.

Yes, there's a twist, but it's obvious from about 20 minutes into the film.

Save your money, your time, and your life. Don't watch Shitter Island, I'm sorry, Shutter Island.

Finally, arise Sir Patrick Stewart!

Films & TVFrom BBC News:
The actor Patrick Stewart who lives in Oxfordshire has received a knighthood in the New Year Honours List. The classically-trained actor, best known for his roles in Star Trek and in the X-Men, was made an OBE in 2001.

About time! The man is well-deserving of his knighthood. He was awesome in Macbeth, and though a little tipsy when he emerged from the backstage doors, he still managed to have a conversation with us. Well done, Sir!

Mohamed, the cry baby?

Films & TVDid you see Mohamed on last night's Big Brother? He provoked people in an argument that he wasn't involved with, and Dennis spat - or did the action of spitting - at Mohamed. Mohamed ran off like a cry baby and washed his face a few times. Seriously, man, you can' get 'gay' just because a gay man spits at you. It doesn't work like that.

Well anyway, Mohamed is a fat idiot. It's a shame Sylvia was evicted last night, as Mohamed would have been the much better choice. Rex started it, and he's sat back smiling about it all. Smug little ginger smegger.

I've just found out that Mohamed's full name is Mohamed Mohamed. Wow, that's some clever thinking by his parents... ahem.

The Apprentice: The best advert for berets is gone

Films & TVYep, Lucinda's gone. No more berets in the show, unless Margaret Mountford decides to be all 'zany'. Or even Nick.

I also guess that means no more tears from any of the candidates. Well, no, I figure one of them will break down soon, but at least it won't be simply because they can't copy pictures from the flash card in a digital camera. And that was from someone who said she was a risk manager with great IT skills.

The Apprentice: Dum Dum is out

Films & TVMichael Sophocles has gone from The Apprentice. I guess he was fired for not being able to sell cars very well. I did like the bit where he asked one guy if he could come with him to his meeting... Dum dum.

Outside of The Apprentice, he was allegedly fired from his escort job for having sex with his clients, and he claims he's on £120,000 a year as a sales executive. I wonder why someone like him would want a job at a lower salary if he were to win The Apprentice? Weird.

Making Money?

Films & TVShe's gone! Sara Dhada has been fired from The Apprentice (at last). Finally, that whinging, whining, po-faced "International Car Dealer" woman has gone.

I am non-plussed about the whole affair, but it does give me a chance to do a little Photoshopping :o)

Two spivs sacked. Eight left.

Films & TVWell, it was the turn of BOTH Jenny Celerier and Jennifer Maguire to be sacked from The Apprentice. Good stuff.

I particularly loved the 'Kosher' chicken incident. I mean, FFS, getting a Muslim to bless a chicken as kosher... Durrr.

Richard Dawkins to appear in Doctor Who!!!

Films & TVAWESOME!!!
From The Independent:
He is the creator of galaxies, saviour of Saturday night telly and the most influential gay man in Britain, but Russell T Davies can still shriek like a starstruck fanboy. "Richard Dawkins!"

The evolutionary biologist and best-selling author of The God Delusion will appear as a guest star in the new series of Doctor Who, which began last night. "People were falling at his feet," says Davies, creator of the BBC's flagship show. "We've had Kylie Minogue on that set, but it was Dawkins people were worshipping."

As writer and executive producer of Doctor Who, Davies often plays with religious imagery (from a cross-shaped space station to robot angels with halos), but he's a fervent believer in Dawkins. "He has brought atheism proudly out of the closet!"
---

Fantastic! Richard Dawkins is an absolute gem! He married Lalla Ward - Romana from Doctor Who - so I guess that's the tie-in. Whatever, I think it's great!

Morbid fascination with 'those' documentaries...

Films & TVI've recently admitted to myself that I have a morbid fascination with the kind of TV documentary that highlights the freaks in our society. Last night was a show called "Eunuchs", and you can guess what that was all about. I also watched "Supersize vs. Superskinny" - a show that swaps the diets of a really really fat obese munter with that of an incredibly stick-thin waif.

I think I do it solely to have something to laugh about. For instance, this is a screen grab I took of the "Eunuchs" programme. Apart from the fact that I've grown quite attached to my bollocks over the past 20+ years, this guy is miles away from being the poster child of castration...
