Phil Mitchell’s recent foray into the exciting realms of crack cocaine seem to have taken its toll on him. Look at him, he’s so far beyond parody now, this clip seems almost plausible. It may well be, that given the fact that script writers have to constantly update their outlandishness, added to Phil’s increasing erratic nature, the BBC have combined one tyrannical East End thug, with a classic psychopath.
I welcome this suggestion with an open mind. I’ll certainly start tuning in if Phil continues with these ways. Maybe he’s just really angry with all the exciting TV work his brother Grant is getting. ‘Grant on Gangs’, ‘Grant on Terrorists’ etc. Ah, not to worry Phil, stick to what you know.

Chris Morris has always had a talent for ruffling the feathers of anyone he comes across for his inimitable TV and radio shows. Here, we have a classic interview with Jerry Springer. Using false sychophancy and clever wordplay he can once again manouevre himself into a situation of authority whereby he can well and truly take the piss out of the poor old presenter.
Not only does he list bizarre and increasingly ridiculous possible titles for Springer’s…bizarre and ridiculous show, but he also gets him a little angry and gulls him into believing made-up diseases. The atmospheric music over the top just heightens the whole experience and adds a little of Morris’s well-known editing mischief. This is utterly unmatched comedy.

Since it’s been touted as some of the best drama ever made, I guess The Wire is now trying to conquer the comedy market. Probably due to low funds or laziness, however, producers have clearly resorted to regurgitating old scenes, with a cheap laughter track added.
You’d think with all that success they’d be able to re-shoot the whole series and make it into a sitcom. This is what happens in a recession – unemployment and poor television. I think I’ll stick to the original.

Ok, so the new Star Wars films were no where near as good as the original ones. I know that, you know that, and George Lucas – if you gave him a few glasses of wine – would admit that as well. Despite them not being as legendary, there’s something all Star Wars films have in common. There are a lot of characters, and they can get fairly complicated what with all those planet names and politics.
This is a novel way to keep things informative, fun, and fresh. By integrating a choral Queen classic with the well-known franchise you have a decidedly high-pitched re-cap of the recent films. And what’s more, you can listen to this, and get straight to watching episodes 4-6 and enjoy some real quality films.

If only all major conflict could be reduced to jerky images and a tinny piano soundtrack. Maybe if the battle between the Taliban and Western armed forces was turned into a silent movie with still frames of dialogue saying ‘Where is Osama!’ and ‘But – what’s this? There AREN’T any nuclear weapons?’ everyone might have a good old chuckle and get on a plane, come home and be done with it.
Maybe it wouldn’t work, maybe it would. Anyway – this sure does. It turns an ace old classic – Star Wars – and makes something new and ace in a totally different way. Of course, I wouldn’t change George Lucas’ masterpiece for the world, but this editing ain’t half entertaining. Enjoy.

I’m not sure what film this is from, but boy does it look a cracker, maybe it’s a Bollywood version of James Bond – where the ridiculous becomes the realistic – I bet Daniel Craig would be jealous of that sword scene…and not to mention the outifts
Hollywood had better watch it’s step, releasing lame action films with actors from the 80’s still trying to look tough. This is what it’s all about. Jumping a jeep into a helicopter, then throwing a sword to chop off a guys arm, real shit!

This unfortunate weatherman is never far from making headlines. And they’re not usually about rain or sunshine.
Not long ago he got the giggles live on air for unintentionally swearing. Then he got visibly offended for being called ‘Petal’.
Well, here he is again. However, this time he’s minding his own business, scratching his chin. Some people will read stuff into anything.

The fact that this clip of Tom Cruise is closer to the truth than you might think makes it all the better.
“I can fly…Ok? I can fly”
In fact. Is there any actual evidence this footage isn’t the shortarsed Scientologist himself?
