FOX - SH**HEADS

Hi, how you doing? I’m ok, just sitting here, decided I’m gonna write a few things about FOX. They’re sh**, why? because they are. Fox News, - pile of sh**e, how much more pro-Bush, right wing, and downright insensitive to human issues can you get? Compassionate conservatism my arse. Do you remember when a correspondent suggested that Paris would have been a better target instead of London as no-one would care. Oh, no-one in American-right-land which FOX seems to support so bloody much it basically owns it. F*** OFF. DONT F***ING WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU. So why am I writing about it? Just to let you guys know that this wasn’t why I wanted to post about Fox in the first place, there are plenty of reasons why FOX is a shite-pile.

They have cancelled 3 perfectly good TV shows. This is not including Family Guy which they cancelled then brought back as it pushed the envelope, and you can’t have that in bush-country. F*** THAT SHIT. OH BUT WHEN YOU F***ING RELEASE IT ON DVD AND IT MAKES SHIT LOADS, OH THEN YOU F***ING REALISE THAT $$$$$$$ CAN BE MADE, OH THEN PUT IT BACK ON AIR, OH WELL DONE B***ARDS.

Anyway, over the past 3 years they’ve cancelled Firefly, Wonderfalls and The Inside. OK, I’ve not watched the first two but I’ve googled them and I’ve seen what people have said and I’m interested in them now oh and maybe I can get them on DVD, but seriously what is the fucking point when there are 13 episodes of each and no more made. American series are meant to go on for longer than that. Firefly is 500 years from now, it’s a science fiction western (weird, maybe, who f***ing cares), but the best part is that it’s a fight against unified central government… who control the many words around the dead Earth. Sounds cool to me, it has a cult following, that is enough support for me. F*** YOU FOX.

Wonderfalls - Inanimate figures talk to a girl, they make her help others, it’s all part of something greater. - CANCELLED AFTER 13 EPISODES, DAMN YOU.

Now, The Inside, I actually watched it and I like it, enjoyed it actually. It’s about a girl who was abducted and raped as a child (yes, sick I know), she escaped and changed her identity. However, now all grown up she is hired by the FBI and gives insight into serial killers minds because of her experience. We get into her conscience, her essence, how has this experience affected her? How does it impact on her work? How about on her social life? How about her philosophy on life? Well we did start to get some answers but FOX decided to cancel. 8 episodes have aired and over time FOX have promised to air the remainder that were made (5 more). This makes me sad.

Goodbye.

P.s. - Thanks for 24 though! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Kate Winslet In Extras

Kate Winslet’s twist is going to be that she’s an expert at phone sex and thinks films about the Holocaust and the handicapped are the sure way to an Oscar.

Looks like there’ll be another confrontation as well - no wonder Millman doesn’t get speaking parts…

Mixed Up Movies

Hope they didn’t stretch the page too much…anyway we can make some posts show a preview line only, then you have to open it to see the full thing?

This is a test…

…a TIME TEST.

Hopefully we have normal times now.

xbox 360 controller to have a keyboard?

We don’t know what the deal is with the source of where image was supposedly snapped from, but apparently during a really janky lookin’ Espanol Xbox 360 presentation, one slide showed off a qwerty keyboard-equipped controller. The translation, friends, is utterly shocking:

  • QWERTY keyboard
  • Attached to the controller
  • Send text messages or chat during the game
  • [source]

    hope you guys dont’ mind, but made some changes

    i organised the side bar so that the login thing is at the top, then the search, then catergories, then links. was a bit stupid having log in all the way down there, especially if we’re posting pretty long entries with pics and shit.

    i’ve also removed Most Popular Posts. i don’t know how they calculated that but i’m sure it was wrong. was it with the amount of views? or the amount comments? there was only three under it, and i’m sure we’ve all seen every post at least once. i still have the code for it if youguys still want it.

    let me know if changes are good or bad :)

    oooh can someone find out how to change the time becasue it’s still GMT innit? not BST…tried pissing around on the options last night and tehre’s a bit where you can say how many hours off the time in your area is but it didn’t work :(

    loving them is so easy…cos they’re beautiful

    i wanna be in a baaaaaand. well anyway the charlatans always like post pics and a diary while recording.

    bit of an extract from Martin Blunt’s (bass) entry:

    “What are they sounding like? Well just listening now to Jon’s drums and bass, a very much dub by influence has joined The Charlatans sound so everything is very much back on a groove with even hip hop elements coming through on the rhythm tracks. Without giving too much away right now songs like “For Your Entertainment” and “N.Y.C (There’s No Need To Stop)” sound unique and refreshing with the latter being aired at the Hammersmith show in London at the end of April”

    phowaaaaar

    Angel’s Spike has a new home

    James Marsters, better known as Spike from Angel & Buffy The Vampire Slayer has a new job.. as the villian in WB’s Smallville! I acidentally read this, I shouldn’t have, vowing not to read spoilers but I couldn’t help clicking :S .. Anyway, his character’s name is Brainiac and is most likely what was in the black spaceship that landed in season four’s finale. Should be good, but to be honest I hope this season is the last because the requirement of suspension of disbelief due to the ‘teenage’ actors age is becoming hard to implement whilst watching the show. Plus, how long can you drag the show on for? Looking forward to it though!

    New Supes Blog

    Bryan Singer, director of X-men, X2 and now Superman Returns, posted a new video blog today, it reveals pre-visualizations of Supes in motion and actual green screen footage of flight. I know i’m a geek for caring, but this movie looks like it’s going to be class.

    Supes in Flight

    NANOSTRAAAAY

    Got this this morning. Ported a paragraph from my Cubed3 topic, because A) it sums everything up and B) I can’t be arsed typing up a new thing. Here you goooo:

    Presentation wise, as seen in videos, this is top notch stuff, and the music is great too. I’m not much of a shoot ‘em up player (but love them when I do), so I was a bit crap at it and died a couple of times (game over, not just losing a ship), then switched it off. Seems like really good fun and I can certainly see why some people have dubbed it as a AAA DS title. There are a couple of annoyances though - the weapon switch could easily have been mapped to the four face buttons and fire mapped exclusively to the L shoulder button, then the game wouldn’t have superfluous use of the touch screen to change weapons. It isn’t too bad really, you just reach over and press it with your thumb. If they’d removed this, they could’ve done the game better because they could have removed touch screen functionality altogether and made it use the full two screens for gameplay. Still, it works.

    sooooooooo well done microsoft ;)

    24 hours baby, you’d think it would have taken a little bit longer due to those huge intellects over at microsoft but the windows advantage security solution has been cracked. Seriously, who didn’t expect it not to be? When you have dedicated geeks out there who won’t allow companies to be one step ahead of them, anyway just for informational purposes it’s one line of javascript .. crazy

    nice one, mase

    right, sorry i couldn’t look at the code last night…i couldnt’ get on. but mason was a’right with it. sorry i took off VGC off the links its cos i was pissing around with categories trying to get all the music links together, all the gaming links together…etc…etc…and forgot to put it back into the deafult category. changed my name to syed. ;)

    it’s taking off this, innit?

    Jesus Christ

    “A new channel purporting to be “Sky One from a Muslim perspective” is to launch before the year is out, according to Broadcast.

    Bridges TV, based on a US station of the same name, is the brainchild of businessman Haras Rafiq and Ibrar ul-Haq, BA’s first Islamic pilot.

    Around 75% of content will be acquired, with the remaining 25% being produced in-house at the channel’s studios in Rochdale.

    Planned programmes include “Muslim equivalents” of Sesame Street and Blue Peter.”

    Right. Honestly, do we need this? ROLL ON THE SEGREGATION BRIGADE LADS.

    Extras

    Extras episode 2 has been on now. Kemp was brilliant, I’m yet to decide who got ripped the most out of him and Stiller. Kate Winslet next week, I don’t expect to see her getting quite as destroyed. Ashley Jensen wasn’t quite so good in this one, though. Merchant was ACE.

    “Look at that…medal…shiny innit…”

    Woman: Have you not been in The Bill?
    Gervais: Don’t wanna be in The Bill!
    Woman: Have you all been in Casualty?
    Gervais: Yep.
    Guy: The TV show?
    Gervais: Ah, nope.

    Merchant: We shouldn’t have given them the ‘or nothing’ option. We should’ve just said ‘a million or £500′. Would have at least got something out of it.

    Barry: This isn’t living though, is it?
