Whacking Archive 6-10-02 Paul Sheehan has exposed
more of Malcolm Fraser's staggering
hypocrisy.
Jeez. I haven't been
able to find anything to really rant about recently. I'm rant-blocked
dammit. Help me out, oh mighty readers!!! Or at least give me some hate
mail to react to: tex {at} whackingday {dot}
com We
beat the wretched foreigners in the Rugby Grand Final tonight. Bwahahaha. I've finally added
Brain Graze and Amax
to the links list.
I don't care how famous
or well-loved or "hip" it is: Guinness
is undrinkable sewershite.
I've never been a fan of director Tony Scott, who gave us such epic trash as Days of Thunder and Top Gun. Even his better movies like Crimson Tide and Enemy of the State had moments of infantile dialogue, bad acting and his supremely annoying visual style of late-afternoon-West-coast-sun-and-dark-shadows-in-poorly-lit-rooms in every scene. Not to mention the blaring, intrusive and ludicrously over-the-top musical score. Well whaddaya know. Scott has grown a sense of style: Good actors, no one-dimensional bad-guys, clever dialogue and cracking pace. The music is still annoying and the editing too try-hard, but we're still left with a snappy, clever movie with the lack of the usual empty-headed machoisms and bluster. And Robert Redford drops the lifeless mannequin act for a change. I'm a sucker for espionage
movies, and this one is top-shelf. Heartily recommended. Proof that popcorn
entertainment can have a brain too. Hard proof today of
why I'm
against the death penalty in practice: would you want the idiots
who made this
decision deciding whether or not to send you to the electric chair?
James Morrow is back in action, doing a class pummelling of another of the world's inexhaustible supply of idiots. The Rottweiler has escaped blogspot tyranny and set up his own site. And he's got a dog picture back up. Yay. I've added those fine
libertarians Dodgeblog to my links
list. The have a Latin motto on the site. I think this means they actually
read books, or somethin'. Christopher Hitchens
brutalizes
Clinton's idiotic performance at the UK Labor Conference.
It's essentially a retelling of Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge, reset in the wild west in midwinter. Everything looks bloody cold, dark & dirty. Slow, depressing, but great acting and stunning scenery & cinematography. I liked it. And whaddaya know...
Milla Jovovich can really
act.
Demolish the UN,
I say. All they've ever given us is heartache, bureaucracy and traffic
jams on First Avenue These cunts are now investigating our SAS over their actions in East Timor because they may have killed some militia members who ambushed them. Sweet motherfucking jeezuz. For chrissakes, these fucking miltia members were slaughtering civilians by the thousands. And the UN is investigating us???? Did
I mention how much I hate these bastards? Seems the USA administration
doesn't
want a free trade agreement with us. They'd much rather have them
with better friends, like Morocco. Sheesh. Thanks fellas.
*choke*.....*splutter*.....*chortle*.... Bwahahaha
- Soundgarden, "Ty
Cobb"
The ABC is repeating Beyond the Fatal Shore - the documentary TV series about the magical land of Aus through the eyes of New York-based aussie expat writer, and terminal bore, Robert Hughes. Hughes - who's been living in NYC since the early 70's and working (amongst other things) as TIME's art critic - proved himself to be hopelessly out-of-touch with this 6 hours of patronising wank. Hughes pays a quick visit to his homeland every couple of years to tell us how backward and racist we're becoming, how we're electing the wrong people and what way we should vote in constitutional referenda. What he doesn't do is pay any attention to what the hell is actually going on in the real world. His ideas of the country were pretty much what you'd expect from someone who hadn't lived here for over three decades. Lotsa cliched dreck about our convict past, outdated vernacular, waffling about our internal struggles to be a funloving people, and an abundance of idealist piffle about societal progress and anomie which the Radio National crowd love to talk about in North Sydney cafes. What
have the residents of NYC done to deserve such a prize? It's a wonder
they keep letting him back into that country. I wonder if we can persuade
them to make him stay there permanently.
Whacking Day disciple Sage McLaughlin has written a darn fine essay over at Winds of Change. Dude, you should have
stuck this in my Spleen
section. Check out da Cinderella
blog. Tis a fine one. Tyrant appeasing,
capitalist cabal conspiracy theories, USA-hating paranoia, anti-semitism...it's
all here. Like
many web loons, this dweeb is a big fan of TYPING IN UPPER CASE. The current edition contains vital new information........ - Dubya is trying
to kill everybody!!!! Fascinating reading. So labelling North Korea as "evil" is just language used by stupid cowboy americans, eh?
Don't expect Chomsky,
Pilger and other anti-american wankers to be expressing outrage about
this anytime soon. Looking for older whackings? Wanna see my previous rants against lefty, commie, peacenick wankers, plus lots of fun stuff about motorcycles, music and movies?................ Click here for the full past whackings index |

Tonight's
session in Tex's home cinema was the DVD of Spy Game. And I'll
be damned - it was excellent.
Just
watched
