The Fan Boycott Boycott – http://is.gd/VopD #
@andydiggle Isn’t it super? in reply to andydiggle #
@Sulman I don’t think I’ve seen ANY Loach. Also, white wine? Really? For some reason I’ve never pictured you with wine. Glass or bottle? in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman There is, of course, a “;)” in that. in reply to Sulman #
@georgelondon Is it REALLY a cracking movie? I have only heard bad things… in reply to georgelondon #
@juliebenz Just had a Julie Benz double-bill tonight – early Dexter and 2nd season Angel… Lovely! in reply to juliebenz #
When the fuck did Firefox become so unstable? #
Oh geez. I actually had my phone on me all along! #
@RedMummy Heh… well, different machine, similar problems, so I don’t know… Morning, by the way! How are you today? in reply to RedMummy #
Morning Twitter peeps… How you all doing? #
Got my Amazon bundle from my little sister this morning – New Dan Schaffer & Scott Morse! Well, new to me… #
@DaveMetzger Is that ACTUALLY Eliza Dushku? I have become so terribly, terribly cynical about such things. She Tweets like a teen girl..! in reply to DaveMetzger #
Actually struggling to listen to all of this: Toby Foster interviews Peter Davies – http://is.gd/WYlB. Foster is hardcore, Davies a buffoon! #
… This might happen a lot as more daft bigot politicos get into power, but I find even the humiliation of idiots gives me tummy ache! #
The new, upbeat @iainlee is actually starting to tire me out, but with smiles! Like being beaten to death by the Joker… #
Oh, nice Futurama news: Comedy Central are bringing it back! – http://is.gd/WZF1 #
@thoughtmecca Strangely, I like it! Natalie Portman started acting like a grown-up woman FAR too early. Strangely, I like that, too! in reply to thoughtmecca #
@VJ Not yet, but thinking it’s likely I’ll stick with Powweb right now. Keeping Nearlyfree in mind for any other projects that come up, tho! in reply to VJ #
@acheverton On Mac or Windows? in reply to acheverton #
@andydiggle Twilight is great! They’ve done away with that pesky danger & sexuality, & gone for creepy stalking instead. And they glitter!;) in reply to andydiggle #
@andydiggle Yes, totally spacing. Let The Right One In kind of wipes the rest from memory… Lots of films have nice bits, but none as good! in reply to andydiggle #
RT @georgelondon: Kanye never sounded so British.From “A Gentleman’s Guide to Hip Hop”. http://twurl.nl/breyrc VERY catchy. May look for DL. #
@jupitusphillip I’d be happy with Sarah Connor Chronicles at this stage. Firefly would have to be Pre movie or I’ll just cry all the time.:( in reply to jupitusphillip #
@hattiehattie Hah! That is absolutely my FAVOURITE form of humour. NO effort, Ultimate Lols. My girlfriend may disagree… in reply to hattiehattie #
Oh gosh, yes. Forgot about Blade… Especially at the time (post Matrix, post running zombies), it nails the milieu… @andydiggle #
@andydiggle &, uh… 30 Days Of Night, of course. I like my vampires properly inhuman, mostly… #
@andydiggle No… but then, the Godfather doesn’t have vampires being killed by bad motherfuckers… in reply to andydiggle #
@andydiggle … Or ANY vampires, unless you count the bit with the orange peel. in reply to andydiggle #
Is it me, or is Adam Buxton getting better looking? Or is Joe perhaps getting less attractive? http://is.gd/X2Vj #
@RedMummy The cute little one who experiments with facial hair and temper tantrums is Adam. I like him the best! in reply to RedMummy #
Also, I think Adam tends to stay on the right – our left – as per their names. Or I’m thinking of someone else! @RedMummy #
@steevbishop That was kind of my feeling on the subject, actually. Same questions, different tone of voice might have serviced them better. in reply to steevbishop #
@acheverton Yup, they do… It is a thing. I was joking on their joke! You owe me an e-mail, by the way… in reply to acheverton #
@RedMummy It’s… uh… Ant on the left, & Dec on the right… like their names? It’s, I think, deliberate…! in reply to RedMummy #
I find myself uncomfortable about protesters physically attacking BNP. It occurs to me that the only people it serves are the BNP. #
@douglasnoble I’ve got lots of time for bits of Blade 2, but I actually think Blade holds together well as a hard & fast action movie. in reply to douglasnoble #
@idsharman It in fact SO fits in with the BNP’s whiny public agenda that if responsibility hadn’t been claimed, I’d think they’d set it up. in reply to idsharman #
Hypnotic video for We Got Time by Moray McLaren – mostly achieved using pre-digital technology. http://twurl.nl/beajfi. Bland song, tho… #
@douglasnoble Hah! Agreed on the cold, & maybe airless, but it has a pace & rhythm that appeals to me. A lot of it is in the soundtrack… in reply to douglasnoble #
@douglasnoble Can ignore Dorff’s input for his ability to fade against bells & whistles, & Logue is a straw-man for various abuses is all… in reply to douglasnoble #
@douglasnoble (Though I’ll admit, I find him strangely charming in Life…) in reply to douglasnoble #
Heh… I’d kind of forgotten what it’s like talking about stuff like this with @douglasnoble. It makes me smile! #
@douglasnoble Truth is I can’t argue with your assessment of Blade as shite but love it anyway! It does what I want an action movie to do… in reply to douglasnoble #
Clockwork – gorgeous animation that reminds me of @DaveMckean, for some reason: http://twurl.nl/qhrwn6 #
@steevbishop Exactly… at a certain level, I find that sense of self-righteous fury a pretty big part of the problem… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop But why on earth would you WANT to read my conversation with someone else? #fixreplies in reply to steevbishop #
@douglasnoble For me, the less plot an action movie has, more consistent it is, & the more decent set-pieces there are, the better!… in reply to douglasnoble #
@douglasnoble Blade is pretty much that level of dumb! in reply to douglasnoble #
Oh gosh… I just recognised who it was doing this animation… I love her work! http://twurl.nl/7hlkyb – Kricfalusi by way of Aronofsky… #
(If I had the technical ability, I would Mash the FUCK out of Magnum P.I & PI. Magnum PI, mofos!) #
@steevbishop Let us not forget that it is those guys who triggered the great Rage outbreak of a few years back… in reply to steevbishop #
@RedMummy I am TOTALLY contributing to your kid’s eventual metaphysical freak-out, aren’t I? in reply to RedMummy #
@steevbishop Heh… Oh, I am AT LEAST as interesting individually… he said archly, with heady irony… #fixreplies in reply to steevbishop #
@douglasnoble Girl One is now up to speed on the first movie, so Full Throttle is in the pile of dvds by the telly to be watched.. in reply to douglasnoble #
Oh. So Photoshop has decided not to work today, huh? #
@loscampesinos I love the random Morris-isms in your tweets and posts. God, I love you guys… in reply to loscampesinos #
@steevbishop Oh, the man is SUCH an insufferable cunt. The BNP seats are a done deal now: it’s time for mainstream parties to stop bleating. in reply to steevbishop #
@georgelondon F/Phs? in reply to georgelondon #
@RedMummy That’s pretty good parenting, far as I’m concerned! in reply to RedMummy #
@georgelondon Uhm… oh… uh… Okay. in reply to georgelondon #
@steevbishop Well, I think it’s apparent that the guy actually CAN’T, isn’t it? Mind, his party doesn’t seem to mind… in reply to steevbishop #
@georgelondon Well, you ARE entitled to that opinion. I just can’t get past the Head Boy smugness & aping of other people’s identities… in reply to georgelondon #
@georgelondon …Once copying Blair stopped working for him, he started on Obama… & I distrust his willingness to say anything for cachet. in reply to georgelondon #
Problem with figures like Cameron, & Blair before him, is that they make an already content-lite political landscape even more superficial, #
@james__buckley Erm… nothing, really. They were talking about going in bins and stuff. I… is there outrage? in reply to james__buckley #
The superficiality in our political culture at mo is what allows vacuous concepts like PC outrage, & confusion over process to proliferate. #
Is proliferate the right word? #
I’m getting to the point where I really would rather hear about news like this: http://twurl.nl/d47k7q – once facts have been established… #
…I don’t know if giving the populace a “heads up – this might, at some point, be A News” warning is particularly helpful… #
… Because even if it now turns out there isn’t a real connection, or it wasn’t pertinent info, this is now an indelible part of story. #
Like, woah! ‘Splodey rockets! I never heard about this: http://twurl.nl/ls8gjo #
@steevbishop Now I have to go look for the Transformers 2 trailer…! in reply to steevbishop #
@georgelondon @steevbishop Heh… That was peculiarly incongruous, wasn’t it? Shoe lifts indeed! in reply to georgelondon #
@andy_lamb @pauloflaherty I thought so! in reply to andy_lamb #
@idsharman Wouldn’t haggle over the price of the money? in reply to idsharman #
@Sulman You already know that I’ll agree with you wholeheartedly on this, don’t you? in reply to Sulman #
RT @Sulman: Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m not sure photographs like this help anyone http://tinyurl.com/mth7vo #
50 Ways To Use Twitter In The College Classroom – http://twurl.nl/5gs48i – fairly comprehensive, and remarkably little cruft in this list. #
(I’m pretty sure I picked up that 50 Ways To Use Twitter link from someone here, so apologies for not crediting you!) #
Pretty cute stopmotion… http://twurl.nl/kzzxsy #
@cubicgarden As long as they behave themselves. Misbehaviour like that seen the other day only works in the BNP’s favour. in reply to cubicgarden #
@Domholland Because you’re smart enough to know that it’s awful, insipid, nonsensical tripe? in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland (That wasn’t, incidentally, an indictment of your family – kids allowed to not know better, wife allowed to love the eyecandy) in reply to Domholland #
@loscampesinos Um… dunno… Vimeo seems to be quite nice. in reply to loscampesinos #
@Domholland I get that a lot… in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland By the way, not sure I’ve mentioned that I was always impressed by how much your 1st novel read like an actual novel, rather… in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland … than a stand-up’s 1st book. Even the ones who end up good normally trick out their 1st novel with too much routine. in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland (Think it might have been Only In America, but it was a while back… Amazon has no synopsis) in reply to Domholland #
@loscampesinos Hm. Does Google video work any better? Don’t know if they have a video hosting option… in reply to loscampesinos #
@Domholland So squinting is somehow a sign of genius? in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland Interestingly, reading some of the Amazon reviews, I suspect people were LOOKING for a typical comedian’s novel… in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland Don’t take this the wrong way, but I felt it was a great fluffy piece of writing that should have done well in the mainstream… in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland & at that time, I’d have imagined it selling in huge numbers to the demographic that devoured Bridget Jones unironically. in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland (Which I’m certain was what you were going for… the romcom Curtis audience?) in reply to Domholland #
Yay! Plans made for Star Trek! #
Yes, yes, I know… it’s unbelievable that I haven’t seen it yet! #
@georgelondon Well… NOW they won’t let it slide. After it’s bloody happened. Sigh. That interview is interesting, mind…! in reply to georgelondon #
@Domholland Yeah, that kind of thing. Lots of mugging at the reader from between the pages, standing back leaving gaps for laughs… in reply to Domholland #
@Domholland … most comedians don’t start to “write” in anger till their second or third book. in reply to Domholland #
Oh wow, this is an uncomfortably small & loud theatre. Plus there’s a tiny scratch on screen… #
Fuck, Odeon, really? 4 screens for Terminator, 2 tiny ones for Trek, while there’s still local buzz? #
