This Blog In September 2001: Day Sixteen.

TV Turning the classic movie 'Clerks' into a US network cartoon series was a massive job, and a definite risk -- would fans be happy about the toned down dialogue and would the audience understand the in-jokes or humour. Well they didn't and the show was cancelled after just two episodes. And here is one of them available for viewing at iFilm -- Click here -- it's really rather good.

Ugh! The genius behind this boxset must surely have been behind this and this. It's almost as though they've visited the Internet Movie Database and looked for all of the miss-steps in an actors career to collect together for our entertainment. This, however must be applauded for its far-sightedness.

Review! Anonymous Juice reviews The Knobs at the Virgin Megastore Listening Booth: "In the Megastore the listening booth was crowded with Geri Halliwell fans. They're a serious bunch: they stand with their legs apart, foreheads bowed, listening intently for the secret parable inside "It's Raining Men" The only two who were actually moving to the music were the dorks my headphones were sandwiched between."

People When President Bush spoke for the first time after the present crisis began he stumbled. At a time when he should have been capturing the spirit of the the moment he described those behind the act as 'folks' -- as though these were a couple of hicks in the wilderness chasing a bird with bazooka guns. Folks!?! It appears this isn't the first time. This article from The Atlantic, published a week ago describe's Bush's other linguistic errors:

"How can a man who says things like, "Laura and I don't realize how bright our children is sometimes until we get an objective analysis"; "My education message will resignate amongst all parents"; "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family''; and "I want a foreign-handed foreign policy"—how can this verbal sloven be President of the United States?"

On Radio Five this morning one of Bush's ex-employees apologetically expressed the opinion that whilst the Amercian president is not a good public figure, he is a master in private. In times like these we need someone who is an all rounder surely?
