Borat & Tench

A few weeks back I mentioned the up coming Borat movie directed by Larry Charles and we speculated about whether it is all scripted or the usual Borat madness.

THIS should answer the question. Looks very, very funny.

Also last ep we speculated over whether David Tench interviews real people. Pat Rafter is the guest this week and I don’t think he was animated (although it isn’t that easy to tell with Rafter). The point is moot for us anyway – we are generally wrapping up the show around the time this will go to air so we won’t see it and the video will obviously be tied up with Celeb Survivor.

Quizmania ‘Technical Difficulties’

This was left in a comment in a hidden away little place and I thought it deserved a little more exposure.

Good work Matt – none of us happened upon that episode…

Hey Boxcutters,

Matt Boxcutter here. Got home last night, a few beers and a dodgy souvlaki short of my usual self and decided that I would tune into ‘Quizmania’ on Network Eddie. Well…imagine my surprise when I saw that yes…it was Quizmania…but no…there was no quiz. A glitch in the Netwrok Eddie phone system meant that the hosts (two women, who i have never seen before…and after last night…may never see again) had to ‘improvise’ for an hour or so. We were ‘treated’ to speculation about Jessica Simpson’s sexual proclivity…a race between one of the girls (on a trolley pushed by the floor manager) and a monkey (on a trolley pusehd by one of the camera people)…enquiries about the wellness of the crew…a discussion about John English looking like a Panda…and a lot of sunglasses on…sunglasses off…pained banter. I’m not sure if Eddie was watching, but the girls were just about to read out a joke email (yes…it had come to that) when they both grabbed their ear pieces…apologised…and said to stay tuned for some Drew Carey. Drew Carey followed…then another ten minutes of trying to get the phones to work…and then back to Drew Carey. The best late night entertainment that any of the three networks is liekly to put on for some time, and thoroughly enjoyable. Who would have thought that those quiz shows are actually better without the quiz element?

Cheers,

Matt.

It’s pretty well done…

Lost Experience / AI

My mistake… The online world created around the timeframe of the Kubrick/Spielberg film, AI, was called The Beast and not the Monster.

Still, it was much, much better than what we’ve seen of the Lost Experience. Perhaps it had something to do with the cool factor of being able to discover the game without the “come on everybody, here’s a mystery phone number and a FANTASTIC game you’re going to LOVE!” we’ve seen with Lost. And it was much more of a community effort to solve the puzzles and put the pieces together.

Here’s the Wiki and Sean Stewart’s (head writer) description.

Yasmin is no longer getting married…

Just announced by Channel 10 – Yasmin has been axed.

Good news for all us Futurama fans with the great show moving into the 7pm timeslot.

No word yet on whether Yasmin will get married in any case or if she is destined to be alone her whole life.

Poor Yasmin.

Still, at least Channel 10 are out there trying new things.

I was serious about the mock-up Sugartits. Ze Frank‘s The Show – my favourite video podcast in the world – has it all here.
