Not Right Now: 3D Movies


Bad script? No story line? Don’t really know why you even made this movie in the first place? Don’t worry it won’t be shit once it’s in 3-mutha-friken-D!  - It seems Hollywood has apparently found its magic bullet/ escape goat for curing poorly produced piece of shit films. Well, it would like to think it has.


The word on the street is that 3D is a new way of ‘experiencing’ movies. We put on these ‘special’ glasses, stare at the giant screen and anticipate things to fly out of the screen with incredible realism. However, most times, it’s a lame leaf floating or a car slightly protruding, nothing ‘heart-stopping’ like what the posters promised. I always walk out feeling like I’ve been patronised, not only for looking like a douchebag but for paying $12 more for a 3 mere seconds of ‘experience’.     


Some organisation should get their stuff together and set a standard for movies to be ‘3D’. I mean if we’re all going to walk out with a headache at least be slightly qualified. Don’t get me wrong, there is ONE good 3D movie – Avatar. It was made for 3D, everything was design and shot in 3D. THAT is a legit excuse for it to be 3D but Justin Bieber movie? Yes, you read right, the Bieber fever will now invade our eyes. It seems like there will be no rest until the 3D-ness of the Bieber is burnt into our retinas.



Another movie that’s getting on my nerve is SAW 3D?! Which moron thought ‘oh yea, let’s make a 3D torture porn. People love blood and guts splattering out of the screen’ – Logic? Where did you go?


What 3D movie has truly amazed you? Do they even exist? Let me know, because in my opinion 3D is so Not Right Now.

Not Right Now: X-Factor Australia


This is a joke right? Ashton? Where are you? Am I being Punkd?

Supposedly it cost 25 million dollars to put this monstrosity of a show together. 25 million dollars and what do we have to show for it?

I'll tell you. Absoultely nothing.

We do have however:

1. One crazy ageing wannabe rocker. Give me a fucking break. That tourtured genuiness act - you serious? You're not Bono, or Michael Hutchence! Get over your fucking self and eat some humble pie. When you've ACTUALLY made it, then you can hide in a cave all you want and act like you're a mental patient at leisure and we won't think you're a toss.

2. Mahogany? Pine at best! You're Guy Sebastians back up singers for a reason, because you aren't meant for the spotlight.

3. Sally Chatfield. Chat by name and chat by nature. If Casey Donavan couldn't make it with that wannabe Evanescence/Neo-Gothic crap, what hope do you have? Say it with me, Sunlight!

4. Luke and Joel. ummmm......WTF! Tone deaf and trying to perform aspirationally with their dopey expressions and outstreteched arms like Mother Teresa. How bout - exuding as much conviction as the Blue Wiggle. Honestly. Don't make me laugh.

5. India Rose who is she!?

6. Crooner's name who I can't remeber. Why? Because you're forgetable 

7. Other girl - Lady Gaga called. She wants her coat back. 

Lets be real for a minute here. LEONA LEWIS was a winner of the X-Factor UK. THAT is the kind of standard that you've have to compete against. None of these people can hold a candle to her. 

Now, don't get me wrong, we love a good talent show, but only when there is real talent there. Clearly none of these people have the X-Factor.

So the 25 million dollar question is, where did that 25 million dollars actually go?

Maybe it was that epic soundtrack in the judges intro glofiying them as some celebrity Gods. Arrogant much? How bout you calm down and come back down to reality. 

We think the money went to Snoop Dogg's "kids all over town" trust fund! Is this some Hot Right Now trend emerging? Giving money to Snoop Dogg? X-Factor, Jessica Mauboy, who's bloody next?
Hot Right Now: Investment in talent with a high ROI. 
Not Right Now: 25 million dollar white elephants. It could have been better spent on real ones in a wild life santuary.

X-FAIL

"Why?" She asks

Not Right Now: The Undeserved Hat

Earlier this week we posted about the very much hot right now list of elite restaurants which have earned hats from the 2010 Good Food Guide. However, upon my experience to one of them in particular this week, it is not right now not to back it up.


Sailors Thai on Macleay Street, Potts Point is definitely undeserving of this accolade. The service? Appalling. The Atmosphere? Sterile. And most importantly, the food? Well, lets be real, it's expensive Thai.


It's unfortunate that a restaurant can charge exorbitant amount of money and offer so little to diners. You cannot ride the wave of the award and not back it up past assessment season.


Sailors Thai, you are not right now, and if you were on your navy ship, I guarantee you would have been sunk by an enemy submarine and you'd be flailing in the deep blue ocean by now. As Enya said, Sail away, sail away, sail away, you food fail.

Hot Right Now: Jessica Mauboy's Gazelles

If there is any consolation, the bitch brings it in her live performance at the 2010 NRL Grand Final. 


However she doesn't bring it alone. Her evident lip Synching is a fail - but this post isn't about the young girl from the red centre...


Jess' team has enlisted the help of a flock / pack of leggy gazelles to assist in some phenomenal choreography and we think this is definitely hot right now. 


This plus the addition of the Australia's got Talent Has-Beens Justice Crew beefs out the tasty aviary of Aussie R&B goodness.

Hustling this flock of svelte, bird-like booty shakers gave the 'boomp boomp baloomp' some added sex appeal - and we like it.


Now, get yourself back into the studio and shoot a new video, as your fundamental fail we mentioned earlier will be the Hiroshima Bomb of your career.


Hot right now, live performances which have game. Not right now, their mediocre translation into video clips.

Hot Right Now: The Live TV Fuck Up

From Australia's next "no you are not the Top Model, it's you Amanda" to Guy Sebastian's figurative on air blowie blunder, Australian live TV has been nothing less then a smorgasbord of delicious awkwardness. 

Sneaky Sarah, almost got it past us, cummon babe, what were you thinking? And someone gag Guy for Pete's sake. What a mess... 

Nothing brings out the nations tall poppy syndrome like a royal fuck up. Aussie just gotta chop chop em down and prune that bush. 

Frankly we love a good laugh from the Freudian slip of the tongue and this most definitely makes tacky Aussie Telly hot right now. 

So we question who's next? 


We're looking and you and your coke bag Nat Bass.
