If Clint makes us do a little squirt, is it fair to say that Bolt makes us do a little sick?

My eyeballs go teary, my ears expel wax, and my arse dribbles like a baby.

OI!!!
Misappropriating other’s identities for purposes of visual subversion is my shtick.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment.

That look rather suits me, I think I’ll grow one of those.

That friggin Hitler, takes a perfectly good moustache and demonises it forever. And it’s not some useless poofy mo like the handlebar moustache, either. No, it had to be the Hitler moustache. Any well groomed man will tell you that area’s a bastard to shave and a cute little Hitler mo relieves the busy but hygienic man of the onerous duty of shaving that challengingly shaped region while avoiding the attendant ridicule of sporting a larger mo and leaving yourself open to the horror of being labelled a porn star or serial killer. Gee, that Hitler was a bastard!
Of course, speaking of Hitler moustaches brings to mind our friend stace. Following her demented goading, I accelerated my illegal downloading of Generation Kill and watched the first ep yesty. I can see why she liked it — it contains references to Hitler moustaches.
It looks pretty good, but what struck me most is that TV seems to have become the last refuge of ‘uncompromising’ film. Can you imagine it being made for cinema? It’d have to be compressed, sensationalised and completely de-nuanced to tell the same story. How the fuck can TV be the platform for the best film making? When did that happen?
I can remember seeing all of the 9 hour Japanese film The Human Condition many years ago. To indulge, what was even then, the rare privilege of immersing oneself in such big shit, I had to go to the Opera House over 3 weekends. Sex god David Simon churns out equally monumental works every second week and it’s all made-for-TV… weird.

I have a post in progress on David Simon. I’ll get around to putting it up in a few weeks after I’ve fully digested “Treme” (I’m putting “Treme” off for two weeks – I make a final payment on a 5 year loan this month, and I’m planning to celebrate with all 6 eps and some other, er, indulgences).
There’s some astonishing stuff coming out of HBO, but Simon’s is the best of it. You should also try to get his pre-Wire mini-series “The Corner”. It deals with the crack-houses of Baltimore, and is based on the non-fiction book he co-authored with Ed Burns.
He’s the master of slow-burn storytelling. You start off thinking, “Yeah, this is okay I guess”, and then, after 4 or 5 eps, you’re fully hooked.
The man is a fucking genius.
If I recall correctly, HBO commissioned a second season of “Treme” after seeing just one episode of the first.
We should kidnap him, bring him over here and make him Prime Minister.

Can you imagine Andrew Bolt’s columns about PM David Simon?

Shall I list my favourite Bolt moment?
His whole paragraph downplaying what happened in Chernobyl as being exagerated.

Yeah. Chernobyl. That was just a brushfire according to Blot.
My God, he’s a dickhead.
