THE PREPOSTEROUS BOLLOX OF THE SITUATION

A collection of stuff, things, nonsense, rants, raves, pretties, sillies, and gee-gaws from Rev. Hugo Nebula, Ordained Minister of the Church of the SubGenius. (And boobs. Sometimes there are boobs. Just like in real life.) Thank you for reading.

Book review - The Church Of Fear: Inside The Weird World Of Scientology →

“The Church of Scientology almost scuppered the career of BBC reporter John Sweeney. He gets his own back with this brave and blackly comic book, says Andrew Mueller…”

Mantel’s piece is about violation. It is about intrusion, spectacle, about a kind of eerie return of the sacrificial monarch who has to die so the land can live (or gossip, ogle, and sneer). It is about the treatment of female royals as clothes-horses, lust objects, virgin queens and perfect mothers, and about how we are encouraged to view them as surface. It is about our perverse relationship with the monarchy in a country which is supposedly a democracy and the emptiness of it. What it patently and emphatically is not is an assault on Kate Middleton – and the cry that it is comes not from Clarence House but from the very media outlets Mantel is chastising.

Me, on Hilary Mantel’s “Royal Bodies” piece. (via harkaway)

Why CCTV has failed to deter criminals →

“I won’t pretend to understand the forces that led my neighbours to take to the street and smash and burn and hurt each other. I don’t think I know what “pure and simple criminality” is – presumably, it’s some imperceptible pollen that drifts through society and alights on people, which is awfully convenient for government because “pure and simple” criminality has no cause and therefore no one to blame and nothing that can be done to prevent it.”

It made very little impression on me, the movie. We subsequently both read the book, and the book made a huge impression. I guess that’s kind of why we’re interested in doing the movie.

Ethan Coen, on True Grit.

This is the point at which idiot fucking film journalists should stop calling it a ‘remake’. The same goes for Let Me In and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
