SBS, just watch it OK?
Forget for a second that you could probably watch both these shows online right now.
There is no better way to embrace the inevitability of middle-aged conservatism than having a regular television-viewing schedule. And what better way to settle into a routine than tuning in to the new series of The Boosh and Southpark?
An added bonus is that you'll never feel left out of the water-cooler chat at your funky, creative, hard working yet relaxed office - because you'll have seen the latest episode too.
Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?
Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me was a lightning-strike to the zeitgeist with a high-concept hook pitched for maximum McDamage. Can the same be said for his new Middle East extravaganza Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?
Stripped bare, this is a likeable film about everyman Spurlock travelling through strife-torn countries and realising that, you know, people are people, and no one wants war.
Metalocalypse
Adult Swim has been running with the cartoons-for-grownups idea for years now. Personal favourites include Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law, a show which took beloved Gen X childhood memories – Scooby Doo, Speed Buggy, Super Friends, and more – and recast them in a surreal courtroom drama.
30 Days Of Night
As far as high concepts go, this is up there with that bus that couldn't slow below 50 mph without exploding. Vampires on one hand; an Alaskan town that won't see the sun for an entire month on the other; the inevitable, vicious bloodshed when they meet in the middle.
30 Days Of Night is generic in the true sense of the word.
Knocked Up
Someone needs to put Kevin Smith on suicide watch, because Knocked Up is the film he’s been trying to make for years. He fails because he can’t balance his bawdy comedy with anything like actual emotion. (Or,in Clerks 2, anything like actual humans.)
The man behind the surprisingly sweet The 40 Year Old Virgin and the much-loved (and cancelled after a single season) TV series Freaks and Geeks has shown Smith how to do it right in this new comedy juggernaut.
Antenna UK 04
The desperation of watching music videos on Rage at 3am can be an intensely private experience. Waiting for one more good song before you go to bed. Okay, one more after that. Then just one more. So watching quality clips on the big screen with a like-minded audience is healthier all round.
The British Council Australia, in association with ACMI, present Antenna UK 04:showing some of the most promising recent work by British directors ofmusic videos.
Marie Antoinette
Oh Sophia... I feel like we have broken up. And it has got nothing todo with that guy from Phoenix either. You sucked me in with your soft cinematic touch – the subtle melancholy of The Virgin Suicides and the high-rise romance of Lost in Translation. I was yours. Totally. And then this? When I strip away a hundred different beautiful shoes, the odd well-lit shot and a good soundtrack I am left with nothing but longing.
