*watches the world burn* but I still can go to Cannes and write my shitty reactions for libs to gloss over every year so its not so bad.

Every year the gang troops off to watch low-key humanistic dramas about underpaid schoolteachers in Romania. In *Cannes*. In *Cannes*. An absolute fucking mecca of vulgar inequality.

makes me think of this I read earlier.

Bradshaw should have worked that point into his Detective Pikachu review instead, there's a real similarity between him and a LibDem 'Bollocks to Brexit' poster.

Sadly the classic Viz strip 'Benny Elton', in which Jim Davidson comes round for dinner and he has to hide Lenny Henry in a cupboard rather than be seen to be having tea with a black leftie, isn't on the internet. So I'll have to write something about the tedious bewilderment of the formerly right-on instead.

Bradshaw has given 5 stars to erm.. in my memory without cheating Dunkirk, latest Marvel movie, Gaspar Noe's Enter The Void. With a thorough g/s I could come up with many more damning examples of his lack of integrity and taste - but fuck wasting another second on hating him.

lol, talking about shoehorning Brexit into reviews: "Like a parody of Brexit Britain, never has the 1967 comedy been more horribly pertinent than it is now" - Peter Bradshaw on Mel brooks' The Producers.

calzino, Saturday, 18 May 2019 12:46 (seven years ago)

Speaking of Cannes, a Bradshaw two-star review is as good an indicator that a film’s worth checking out as when it receives a “le boo” from that festival’s audience

But what David Bowie song would this BBC TV sequel to Life On Mars / Ashes to Ashes be named after?

lol, talking about shoehorning Brexit into reviews: "Like a parody of Brexit Britain, never has the 1967 comedy been more horribly pertinent than it is now" - Peter Bradshaw on Mel brooks' The Producers.

My favourite example of this is still when Pitchfork reviewed the Joe Armon Jones record, quoting a line about "no more blood on the streets" and relating it to "a Britain beset by Brexit". Yes dude, that's definitley what he's singing about.

That being said, as with human rights violations, make no mistake: the fact that the EU is shit on it doesn't mean that the tories won't gleefully race further to the bottom as soon as EU restrictions are lifted. I'd rather be employed in the EU than the US anytime.

Daniel_Rf, Saturday, 18 May 2019 14:06 (seven years ago)

it is easy (for smug twats like Bradshaw) to generalise about the benefits of EU membership when because he is never going find himself in a position where he doesn't have any employment rights worth shit in some cursed warehouse in Dewsbury. And also the long history of struggle and hard earned workers rights in western Europe goes way beyond the relatively short existence of the EU, despite some of these blue-faced fools holding banners that seem to say otherwise. Like already discussed on thread, the threat of eternal austerity under tories or labour in a post brexit world is a paper tiger to millions of voters in precarious employment and already fucked over hard by Osborne's tax credit cuts, in this "modern-day nursery of employment rights" lol.

calzino, Saturday, 18 May 2019 14:54 (seven years ago)

Doesn't the theme of the movie he's just awarded 5 stars to contradict his little brexit postscript anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

calzino, Saturday, 18 May 2019 15:03 (seven years ago)

No cos all those awful soul-destroying zero hour jobs only exist because of Brexit or something

specific goats my way (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 18 May 2019 15:28 (seven years ago)

They certainly didn't exist when we were protected by the EU's employment laws... er, hold on.

for what is worth, Pom. In the early 90's I did that crop-cutting work (£3.83 ph + fullbennies*) that is work only seen fit for some of your compatriots in the UK these days. Which is bullshit because bringing in the crops is very important work and fuck ppl that think it isn't or ppl that think those that do it shouldn't be awarded more dignity and decent pay.
