You’ve probably got an opinion on this, whether you’ve seen it or not.
Nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, American Sniper is a Clint Eastwood directed, unapologetic tribute to the heroism of war.
It tells the (true) story of Chris Kyle, a sniper who, with 160 confirmed kills, is generally considered to be the deadliest marksman in US history. It has also been heavily criticised for being an ironically short sighted examination of masculinity, patriotism and modern warfare.
It stars a bulked up, monosyllabic Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, the terrorist riddled, gun battle pock marked streets of Iraq and a shit load of dust.
An award magnet, if you like. Continue reading “American Sniper: I’m Not Angry, Just Disappointed”
Congratulations to Lucy-Anne Holmes and the team.
Not only will kids no longer have to deal with the confusion and consequences of a newspaper objectifying the female body on a daily basis, but they can see that even the most powerful institutions can be brought down with hard work, unity and most importantly, persistence.
This is a huge day. For all of us.

So Hollywood has spotted their awkward boy’s potential.
You might not necessarily agree with her views, but this woman’s ability to deliver a powerful, impassioned speech to anti-abortionists on the spur of the moment puts the majority of career politicians’ oration skills to shame.

Forcing equality, kicking and screaming, into the same ballpark as date rape, is the intellectual equivalent of making me wear one of those meringue wedding dresses for a joke.

According to the Big M Promotions website, Mike Read “has the ability to receive the admiring attention of everyone in a room and he always has the crowd in awe at his vocal velocity and clever repartee suitable for every situation“.
I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Meanwhile, over in Banbury, David Cameron eschews the next election in favour of auditioning for the next season of League of Gentlemen.
This installation at the British Museum has given me an idea for EURO 2016.
By suspending the referee above the pitch in some sort of harnessy thing, we’d not only be allowing him a bird’s eye view of every single incident (resulting in better officiating), but the opportunities for mayhem and disaster would be increased ten fold.
We could even offer five minutes in charge of the referee’s harness controls as some sort of ITV prize.
Everyone’s a winner!
