Where words are written for no particular reason or benefit
Yesterday, a man who very well could be a racist arsehole (notice how I’m not stating that he is, merely alluding to the possibility that he is) was found to be in breach of the Racial Discrimination Act. I rolled my eyes and wondered why it took this long to hold Australia’s petulant child of…
The rise of informal chat shows on commercial networks in Australia is alarming to say the least. Where do I even start with this topic? How about I break it down into how many hours a day are wasted on these self-indulgent, cheap to produce, odes to claptrap all perpetrating the age-old mythos – “we’re here…
Now that just about every film is being released in 3D, you would think that the inclusion of 3D would add something to movie-going experience. Sadly, this is not the case. The only film I’ve seen in 3D that actually did it right was Avatar because, you know, it was built from the ground up…
So it seems like just about everyone driving these days doesn’t actually want to keep their cars where they’re supposed to be. Just this morning, in two separate incidents, people drove into houses. Two 15-year-old girls in Sydney stole a 4WD and crashed it into a house. Another woman crashed into her own house, tragically…
No, the title of this blog isn’t the new cologne I’ve produced that has been created by tearing up carpets of seedy pubs and blending them with a sprig of lavender.

You’re all invited, but you’ll have…
“Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty human!” Is what my keyboard would say if it actually could. Seriously, I abuse this thing. But just like gravy, it’s on to the meat and potatoes. Rise of the Planet of the Apes I know, I know. What kind of self-confessed geek (or nerd, I’ll…
After watching Kevin Smith’s latest film, Red State, I couldn’t help but feel like the film needed to be made five years ago. It turns out that Kevin Smith had completed writing the film around the same time he had completed Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but no-one wanted to touch Red State. A…
In the space of one week, two of my favourite US comedians just happened to be touring the country. The result? My laugh quota for at least two weeks was filled, so now I must remain silent during any potentially funny encounters. To surpass my laugh quota would mean that I would run out of…
