JUSTIN'S SUPER FUN MOVIE AND TV RECOMMENDATIONS:
- There are some great music docos kicking about. Sparks and Sisters With Transistors. I got a bit bored halfway through the Velvet Underground one (sorry Conrad). Mark Ronson has a groovy TV show called Watch The Sound & Paul McCartney has a crack in McCartney 321.
- Maid is my favourite TV show lately. I would go on more about the level of crushes I had on Andie MacDowell and ... but look I ... think Margaret Qualley (Andie MacDowell's daughter in show / real-life) gives a stirring portrayal of what it's like to be struggling, poor and paintfully good looking. (I'll have you know she's excellent in Fosse Verdon, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood & My Salinger Year but who's paying attention?)
- Um, like, that one with the guy from third rock? I don't know. Mr Corman? That's good right? Or was he in Doogie Howser? I like that it's about a boy having anxiety. I'm still dubious about American men being very extroverted in qualifying their emotions to each other, and actually asking one another if they're okay. I mean, I feel that if we did an Australian remake of this show it would be 23 minutes of no-one talking or just mumbling about sport and what movies they've seen followed by a one minute dramatic cliff-hanger at the end as one of them, very drunk, tries to open up about how miserable they are while the other looks terrified and throws up in a bush.
- Hey Radiohead fans. It looks like they've combined Kid A / Amnesiac into a deluxe 20 year package of intrigue. Kid A was one of the biggest musical deals of my lifetime. As soon as I carried the CD into the house my mate Adam and I lay on our backs on the floor of the lounge and let the space-age tapestry inject our minds eye with starbursts of dark energy.
- Not really a TV recommendation but what is up with Pure Harvest Almond Milk altering their recipe from 10% almonds to 7% almonds? Has Nutty Bruce spooked them? Have the food scientists made the necessary arrangements to expand their Consume within... recommendations from the North Korean 3-4 days to the California Girls 5? No wonder I'm sleeping easier, knowing I've got an absolute paddock of time and space in which to slurp my nut "drink" - but am I living my best breakfast life knowing there is technically less nut per mil. NUT PER MIL RATIOS ARENT GOING TO INFLATE THEMSELVES, FIENDS. WHY NOT LIE AND SAY THERE'S 23% ALMONDS AND GET MICHAEL JORDAN TO SPONSOR IT - I'D NEVER KNOW.
- Remember the brand of chocolate milk called 'Gary' that came out in 1998? We had it at Hellver College and it had jokes on the carton like "open Gary this end" and "shake Gary well."
