Rage, rage against the dying of the inconvenience









SO DEMANDING: Single or childless people can attest to the transformation that often overtakes their friends when they have kids � an overwhelming urge to update you on their latest parenting adventures that�s both obsessive and boring that can only partially be blamed on a chronic sleep deficiency that medical textbooks tell us can lead to psychosis.

During the first few months of their baby�s life, parents are often grateful for those late night moments when they can unwind in front of the tube with baby asleep on their shoulder. However, as soon as it�s obvious that Junior has noticed the TV�s magic diorama, the anxiety begins. An anxiety prompted by studies -- printed monthly in every parenting magazine -- informing us that just three hours of TV-watching a week during the first two years of a child�s life will irrevocably damage their chances of getting a scholarship to Yale law school.

These studies get trotted out on cue in a piece by Joanna Weiss in Sunday�s Boston Globe, but only after the writer gets anxious over the much harder to quantify effect that DVRs and video-on-demand will have on vulnerable young minds. Weiss begins by waxing nostalgic for the TV of her youth -- a life lived �beholden to the television schedule,� where she had to watch what was on, only when it was on, and had to suffer through Charlie�s Angels reruns after school, because she probably didn�t have a few hundred cable channels to choose from or a hard drive full of TiVo�d shows.

What Weiss seems to have forgotten is that this Edenic world flat-out sucked � I know because I was there too. Given the choice between trawling up and down the vast expanse of digital cable until I find something to kill an hour or two � usually the Military Channel or Alton Brown touring diners and truck stops on Food � and a quick circuit of less than a dozen channels that inevitably leads to The Love Boat, I�ll take the former.

Weiss recounts the awkward conversation she has with her four-year-old whenever she asks to see something that isn�t either on the DVR�s hard drive or available on demand. I�ve had that conversation, which Weiss doesn�t seem to be recognize as an expression of a child�s concept of the eternal now. Time and all its existential implications will impress itself soon enough on her child�s mind. Nonetheless, Weiss worries that her child is �missing something if she isn't forced to wait for precisely what she wants.�

I sometimes think that this inevitable parental recourse to wailing �What about the children?� has been as effective a form of non-pharmaceutical birth control for the childless as kids-eat-for-free nights at restaurants. Weiss� worries that being able to pause a show or choose what you want to watch when you want is only valid if you think that bookmarks and libraries have made reading an activity full of potentially damaging side effects. And if you�re so worried, maybe now is the time to go all Amish and kick the TV to the curb � if you dare.

Queens Of The Stone Age - Homme Lashes Out At Fan


QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE frontman JOSH HOMME shocked revellers at a music festival in Norway - after lashing out at a disgruntled fan.

The singer became angry after a fan hurled a missile at the stage during his performance at Norwegian Wood Festival in Oslo on Thursday (12Jun08).

In footage posted on video sharing website YouTube.com, the rocker can be seen telling the fan "I will beat the f**king s**t out of you."

The fan was immediately removed from the arena by security guards, reports Gigwise.com.

Fans are not the only individuals to feel Homme's wrath. Last year (Dec07), he lashed out at his own record label Interscope for wasting money - branding the corporation executives a "bunch of f**king idiots".

Eastenders - British Men Become Ian Beale


British males identify most closely with Ian Beale when it comes to cash.

A poll by Scottish Widows revealed a fifth of UK men surveyed compare themselves to Ian Beale from EastEnders when it comes to spending, describing themselves as ‘tight' or ‘careful' with money.

Furthermore, over a third of men admit that they could be described as ‘diligent' or ‘thrifty' with their finances.

Meanwhile women most closely identify themselves with Honey Mitchell: with 17 per cent of women saying that, like her, they are ‘always short of money' and 15 per cent of women saying that they ‘seem to have one financial crisis after another'.

Six per cent of women compare themselves to debt ridden matriarch Peggy Mitchell.

A further six per cent of people compare themselves with spendaholics Carrie Bradshaw and David Beckham.

Mike Hoban, customer director of Scottish Widows, said: "It's great that so many men see themselves as financially responsible, but they have to make sure that what they are doing with any savings pays off in the long term.
“There's no point in saving money now if they end up simply splashing it all at once in a few years time.

“Putting a little aside each month and planning carefully for the future will stop them running into a financial crisis in later years."

Men in Black - 6/17/2008

At last, someone remembered how to make a good summer movie!



With a clever, funny script and dead-on acting by title characters Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones at the heart of this hot weather gem, MIB gets it all just about right, succeeding at crossing the sci-fi and comedy genres where recent experiments like Mars Attacks! crashed and burned. Linda Fiorentino, almost unbilled in a great supporting role, also lends a fun sexiness to the film -- a picture in which the leads seem perfectly crafted for its stars.



While the plotline about chasing an interstellar bug around New York is a little spare (clocking in at around 90 minutes) and devoid of much sub-plot, it's so damn funny that you'll practically forget about all of that... another trick that recent offerings haven't pulled off. Also, make sure you stay to the end, wherein a surprisingly humble look at life is revealed... especially when you consider that this came from Hollywood.







Not your typical creamsicle.
