Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it infamy!

In tribute to my old mate iKon, who very kindly sent me a stack of Heroes episodes the other day (feckin' brilliant work, old boy, cheers!), I thought that I would post a link to something a bit obscure (and, frankly, cool as f**k) that I've stumbled across via the fabulous tv cream site, something which I'm sure will be well appreciated... Kenneth Williams presenting Wogan! No, really. Just take a look at this...

Marvellous stuff. Takes one back to the days when the old goggle box wasn't quite so dominated by gurning, talentless fuckwits of all stripes... hmm, must be showing my age :-(

FF ??? FFS !!!

Bah, the big man finds himself having less and less time for any of these new fangled blockbuster SFX demo's that are polluting our collective head space these days. Went to see Spidey III the other week and it was total, total guff. Now I read that the Fantastic Four sequel with the mighty surfer being introduced in it for the first time has an appearance by Galactus in it (yay!)... in the form of (wait for it...) a "cosmic mist" !!! Ay Caramba! WTF is that all about ??? Galactus is an 80 foot tall, fat bloke with a TV aerial stuck to his head. Everyone on the planet knows that. A fucking cosmic mist ??? What next, the Puppet Master appearing in FF III as a frigging pea souper ??? Jesus wept. Well, I'm not flippin' buying it, mister !!! They can stuff their shitty movie where the sun don't shine, sell out bastards, I'll stick with my Roger Corman version thankyouverymuch... I could rip a tissue, honestly...

BTW I - ah, so that's who Jessica Alba is, Lurkio... hmm, as Roy Walker might say, she's good but she's not right...

BTW II, balls to mainstream Hollywood, I watched that Tarantino approved cult classic Used Cars last night on DVD and it was a belter, the way I always remembered it late on Friday nights on the telly. Wall to wall classic American cars, a soupçon of female nudity, and gratuitous profanity all the way, baby :-)))

(side note : if Galactus is "but a mist", I guess Klaw will have to be "but a claw" - ho ho ho, one for the fellow Frank Skinner fan(s) out there...).
