    Oh, absolutely. Say what you like about George, he belts it out like a good ’un.

    I just wish he’d get back to making music, because I’m kind of bored with the whole big gay Amy Winehouse routine. It's sad watching a genuinely talented man turn into a tabloid punchline.

    somewhere between brilliant and the wankiest thing I've ever read. :)

    Aww, that would hurt my feelings if it wasn't true. Seriously, I've got a five thousand word rip on Natalie Portman tucked away for future use but she's not the problem here. I can't imagine anyone doing more with such an under-characterised snivelling drip of a role.

    Great minds think alike. :) I don't know how the frig it happened, but I reverted to an earlier draft and posted it due to human incompetence. The internal sub-editor has been taken out the back of the woodshed for a good thrashing.

  • Up Front: Say When,

    I can’t actually think of any man I know now who has a Madonna/Whore complex

    I've spent way too much time thinking about Black Swan (sorry for the in-house cross-thread pimpage), and while I'm not sure whether Darren Arornofsy has a Madonna/Whore complex going on he's still got some serious Double-X related issues to work on. (Emma might find Black Swan's deployment of the depraved bisexual trope particularly amusing/enraging/nauseating.)

  • Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!, in reply to Jacqui Dunn,

    No no no, you can't goss tease like that then walk away. I want FILTH! I want tales that you bad-touched the poor American tele-stud! Ideally, it must be simultaneously (and magically) obscene, pure fiction yet not actionably defamatory.

    I HAVE NEEDS!

    Uh-huh. Remind me to tell you my Kevin Sorbo story, Jackie.

    Do I need to put our a call for Kevin Sorbo stories - I could grow to like being the Perez Hilton of Public Address. :)

  • Hard News: Gaying Out, in reply to nzlemming,

    Pardon me, but your partisan is showing…

    No, I really don’t think I will. Unless you know something nobody else does, the New Zealand Labour Party has no intention of sitting out this year’s general election with someone other than Phil Goff leading it. So excuse me for being such an outrageous “partisan” that I’m not interested in giving either Key or Goff a pass for fudging their arses off about policies that have a real and direct impact on my life.

    Goff gave a political speech, acknowledging the need for action without being in any way specific.

    Politicians do that all the time. Had Key done that, he’d have been applauded.

    I find that gob-smacking given the amount of bitching Key got around here from the moment he became leader of the National Party for being a vacuous ‘Mr Smile and Wave’ leading a government that makes candy floss look substantive. Just give me a call when the playing field levels out and I'm entitled to start expecting the opposition to campaign on actual policy.

  • Up Front: Say When, in reply to dyan campbell,

    I'm kind of in love with Jane Goodall - sense of humour and great taste in men. :)

  • Hard News: Gaying Out, in reply to Alex Coleman,

    Pandering to bigots, seeking their votes, offering them comfort; is bigotry.

    So what discomfort did Goff offer to anyone - because I sure seem to be the only person in any way uncomfortable with the pile of steaming hot waffle Phil served up.
