Paxman Claims TV is biased against middle class white men

On hearing about Paxman’s comments at the Edinburgh TV festival my first thoughts (after trying to think of the alternative uses of sandwich spread, besides just using it as imitation sick) were of slight numb shock (yeah I probably meant to write “first feelings” it would be weird to have thoughts about numb shocks) followed by disappointment. The disappointment I was feeling was not just because I have a great deal of respect for his interviewing style and that I felt somewhat let down by his seemingly immature comment, but also because it made me less enthusiastic about buying this T-shirt.

George W Bush Biopic Trailer (I should of put Dubya for more hits)

If your a watching film, or have watched one (a lot of people have you know), and that film tells the story of an historic event and/or person, and you discover something incredibly interesting and exciting making everything in the world make sense. Then you find out what you’ve just seen is not a key to understanding the mysteries of life but sensationalised excitment that hopes you don’t bother questioning anything you see. Odds are that film or films (lets break that boundary people) is an Oliver Stone film. Today we have the first trailer for his next film, a George Dubya Bush biopic. I usually cringe at the release of an Oliver Stone film, as it often feels like he’s begging for controversy. To me he seems to know that what he’s created has taken out a large artistic licence, but hopes humanities cravings for excitement and intrigue will bypass the holes of truth (yeah it does sound like a subtitle for a national treasure film…I think it does).

The Art of Stewart Lee (warning I enjoy long sentences)

I have recently been re-engaged with the comedy of Stewart Lee, due to the upcoming release of his latest dvd, “41st Best Stand Up Ever” on Monday (28th of July 08). I say re-engaged, I have been a big fan of his unique brand of clique free comedy for a long-time, but with our often distracted human brains we often need to be reminded that their are things we love and enjoy, which often get hidden by the things we hate and complain about (or maybe that’s me). I unfortunately missed the tour, and to this day are still bitter about it (but I won’t open up that can of beans, as they are those expensive beans that you start eating than you realise they’re just the same as the cheaper beans which causes the enjoyment for beans to drip out your mouth, but again that might be me). Thanks to the grace of DVDs and independent distributors, the time when a comedians performance faded away is itself fading, and are now immortalized (in a way). I urge everyone to purchase Stewart lee’s 90’s comedian DVD, from Go Faster Stripe, a perfect example of a remarkable routine (act? performance? I don’t really know the best term, oh bugger it) that most major DVD companies and broadcasters ran away from, due to it generally being deemed controversal. Although that doesn’t stop companies releasing several jim davidson (he doesn’t deserve capitals) which in my opinion are not only offensive but worthless tat.
