  • Up Front: Tomorrow Lives Forever,

    “Cut!” Called the director.

    ” I know it’s just a commercial luvvies, but dig deep, there is no such thing as overacting on this
    set”

    The director called to the props manager on her Walkie talkie.
    ” we need more soft furnishings and I have an image of a row of silver clad boys with lampshades on their heads, lit of course,make it happen….please”

    She hoped it wouldn’t be too Busby Berkley but the shoot needed more structure, so far it was a shambles. What else could she bring in to tie the room..er, set together.

    “I know...cushions, lots of cushions and brightly coloured throws.”

    Nigal, the one time KGB operative turned best boy inwardly groaned. What was he doing on the set of a crazy biennale based briscoes ad?

    What had happened to the global fight against capitalism and what had happened to the culture?

    Nigal’s existential pain was interrupted by a 20killowatt lamp weighing 70kg, slamming down and killing him instantly.

    The once famous actor playing the part of a once famous art critic was inexplicably missing from the set….

  • Up Front: Tomorrow Lives Forever,

    "What a pretentious load of cods" splurted the critic. "I haven't seen anything this
    cobbled together since we visited the Uraguayan pavilion. " but the curtain cape had a certain something, if only he could pull himself together, it could be a winner"

    An image of the lion dor appeared in Amanda's cocain sharpened mind, and she made a mental note to schmooze captain underpants at the Bienalle closing party, there could be collaboration funding on the table.

    A dark haired woman wearing a dress made from red carpet came into Amanda's field of vision and stared hard at her. Amanda became a little uncomfortable and inexplicably burst into tears.

    The critic burst out "fucking stop that Marina it really freaks people out"

    What did Marina care.

  • Hard News: Dotcom: Further news of the unlikely,

    I really enjoyed the idea of the tinfoil hat so I have made one and am wearing it now.

    Perhaps immigration was looking firmly at .com's bank account when issuing visas, just like they have when processing other businessmen with dubious histories.

  • Hard News: It was 30 years ago today,

    Ahhhhhh. NOStalgia, the gas that makes the universe smell faintly of rubber.

    Remember that piece of graffiti on Symonds St. C1984.

    MAD DOG PREBBLE

  • Hard News: Media Take: Afghanistan,…,

    To note Wayne Mapp's distancing of himself from his categorical denial of any civilian casualties with the phrase "based on information provided by the defence force", which sounds like a variation on the gun sight malfunction bullshit.

    Respect to Stevenson for the work he does, crazy bastard.

  • Hard News: Media Take: Afghanistan,…,

    If the gunsights had malfunctioned I would have thought that nobody would have been gunned down, or do they have different settings for military and civilian targets?

    Immiseration.

  • Legal Beagle: Suicide Reporting; or, The…, in reply to James Green,

    in reply to Ian Dalziel.

    ‘For me the issue is.’ means I own what I say.

    Respect for the author is implicit as a considered response and the issue is put forward in Edglers opening paragraph.

    “Back in January, Edward Livingstone shot and killed his son and daughter, before turning a gun on himself, taking his own life.”

    and I think it is a vital part of the discourse, Ian, embargoing, redacting or censoring information around domestic violence is not helpful.
