Dear Jon Stewart...

Please return to being funny and stop being such a sanctimonious douche about the hosts on MSNBC.

That's Bob Somerby's job.

You Have Donated To Haitian Earthquake Relief, Haven't You?

Because if you haven't, here's a helpful list of charities that can offer real help, soon.

I'm not asking you to bankrupt yourself, if you donate the cost of a night out or even just $5, you've helped.

And you will feel better.

And so will they.

Life Keeps Getting In The Way

I had meant to wrap up my review of films I'd seen in 2009 before 2009 was over, but things happened. Unpleasant things. I'm not fond of the place I live in, and from time to time it just gets worse. I'm reminded of John Cooper Clarke's poem "Evidently Chickentown". Christopher Eccleston did a version of Clarke's poem in a Danny Boyle film called "Strumpet", and thanks to the magic of YouTube you can now get an idea of how I feel at the moment.



The film review will be finished, possibly before 2011 comes.

(Update, 23rd September 2014) No it won't.
