Advice to Next INXS Singer: Watch Out for those Pesky Doorknobs
I was lucky enough to see Nine Inch Nails last night… that’s definitely going on my top 5 gigs of all time. Unfortunately, this morning my hearing is still shot to shit, so I can only communicate via nautical flags for now.
I’m not so sure about this Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake. Yeah, I know, it’s not technically a remake, and there’s the whole Depp factor, but… it could end up being the children’s movie equivalent of Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos, as far as I can tell from the trailer.
Why aren’t some actual cool kid’s books remade? For example, I’d happily fund a film version of The Famous Five. Of course, George would finally reveal her rampant lesbianism by having unnecessary yet steamy rumpus with a sexy female gold smuggler or something.
Crikey, turns out that it has actually been made into a couple of TV series. That’s… not quite right.
Is anyone else obsessed with Rockstar: INXS? Just me? Fine. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking hate INXS - especially that el creepo guy with the kiddy-fiddler moustache - but I can’t tear my eyes away from it. Plus, I’m now convinced that the show is rigged, after those rumours that Mig was selected as the new singer, before the show even began. Time will tell.
I’ve been a bit slack in updating, and now I just blather on about telly? Lame. I’ll update more soon, lads.
Sultana M&Ms. Carn, they’d be ace.

Charlie and the chocolate factory was kinda fun, but… meh.
I never entirely understood the point of Rockstar: INXS - why would you want to replace the lead singer who killed himself? It just seems a bit morbid, or something.

did you know that in the original version of CATCF, the oompa-loompas weren’t those little wierd midget people, but actually midgets from “the deepest darkest jungles of africa”? Apparently it gave the story a bit of a “slavery” theme to it, so they changed it after it caused some drama.
also, GO CATS! I didn’t tip them, but my boss is a West Coast supporter, so it’s still a win for me

God last night was so good!
I really want to see the new Charlie movie. Even though Johnny Depp is so NOT hot in it and Oompa Loompas freak me out. Apparently this version is much much closer to Roald Dahl’s original vision. Plus it is Tim Burton!
