Gay Batman Upsets DC Comics

by C J Davies

The Dark Knight has been having a strange old year. Firstly, he wakes up one blockbuster-shaped day to find that Memento director Christopher Nolan has only gone and revived his franchise – pulling in Christian Bale (DVDs), Gary Oldman (DVDs) and Liam Neeson (DVDs)  and moulding the most intelligent slice of popcorn entertainment in years.

Win A Trip To Paris With The White Stripes

by Stuart Heritage

The White Stripes love you. It might not appear that way sometimes, what with the shrieking and the five minute marimba recitals of the Rugrats theme tune. But they do love you. You can see it in the wicked twinkle in Jack’s eye, and Meg’s oddly seductive drumming technique. How do the White Stripes show [...]

Slipknot Angry At Burger King Coq Roq

by Stuart Heritage

Ever noticed how it’s always the most preposterous people that have the worst sense of humour? Slipknot (CDs), a metal band made up of rockers in frightmasks whose stage antics include inhaling the fumes of a liquefied dead bird in a jar until they vomit, are apparently outraged that Burger King might have stolen their [...]

SLACKERJACK – Scare The Knickers Off Your Mates With The Ring

Iraq Gets Own ‘Pop Idol’

by C J Davies

Rejoice! The X Factor is back on ITV to complete your Saturday nights in (and conveniently mask the sound of your burbling tears). Of course, give it five or six weeks – the point where they start paying serious attention to the ‘professional’ contestants – and it’ll be shit again. But until then we have [...]
