Anni di Piombo

Well, here is the first bit of electric spew. I need to work out how to post other kinds of media and a list of my favourite links before I get too far or I may get bored. I intend to review films, records and tv shows that I have blatantly not seen. Because: I don’t need to in order to give a full, firm and fair assessment. I may advocate stuff that interests and amuses me. I may select a meat puppet that is taking up space in my face for dissection and deconstruction because they have annoyed me or because they are rich and worthless.

Starting in the very back of the cultural u-bend I wanted to point out this indispensable if poorly titled and designed site to everyone who has not visited it. Awfulplasticsurgery.com does what it says on the tin and beautifully reveals and examines the many alterations and enhancements of the puppet people who feed the ears, eyes and express the aspirations of all the multiplex livestock out there. I’ve never been sure how my fellow males could ever, ever consider someone with implants sexy. Even in the depths of early teenage woodery I was wholly unable to jam the pink oboe to any AV actresses who had gone under the knife. A chance to review the ongoing devolution of Nicole Kidman’s face is worth a quick visit alone…
