Inky Inky Finger

Charlie Brooker

In his own words, no less, Charlie Brooker describes himself as a bigot. What kind of bigot? An anti-Apple bigot! Head over to the Guardian for his take on the cult of the Mac, and why he’s happy to stay using Windows.

In other news, his Screenwipe / Newswipe empire grew last night to include Gameswipe, which was an interesting look back on the history and genres of videogames down through the years. It’s a pity it was only a one off show. What did surprise me though was that it is produced by Zeppotron, who are owned by Endemol, the people who bring us Big Brother.

It’s a bit like finding out the Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show is produced by Fox News. (It isn’t.)

Remember When This Was Good?

Not a lot of solid info on this yet, but early reports of a “dark”, adult oriented show sound great. There is obviously a massive middle-aged fan base who would gladly watch a regular Star Wars based show. You can read snippets of info on Holy Moly’s mailout and on the MTV Movies blog.

I feel a bit like Matthew Fox right now. I’m happy that Lost is back but I’ll be glad when it’s over! At least we’re getting some answers and we can see where it’s heading.
