In Bed With Joan

Dear ladies and gents,

I love me some Joan Rivers. I remember watching her daytime talk show ages ago and she would always, without fail have me in stitches. Sure for some she is an acquired taste, sometimes she can be a bit mean-ish, but she is also clever, has wonderful timing and you know… she is hilarious.

I saw her in different stuff over the years (Celebrity Apprentice anyone?), but it was her documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work that made me… erm whats the adequate word… admire her? If you haven’t had the chance to see it, I *think* it is available to stream on Netflix. And here you can read Roger Ebert’s review, which I think is totally spot on (OT but I’m sure I’m not the only one who is all like – lets see what Roger Ebert thought of movie X and then I realize I can’t check anymore. That man is sorely missed).

But I digress. Yes, Joan. Admiration. And total respect. That is one tough, hard working bird. It is refreshing to see someone so talented working so hard when nowadays many want the applause/money/respect for just showing up (see all of the Kardashians, contestants on any given talent show). It would be easy to take potshots because of her age (which I personally think is something to be proud of, not something to be embarrassed about), or because of her plastic surgery, but you can be sure Ms Rivers has thought of (and used) that joke before.

Anyhow Ms Rivers has a new online talk show called In Bed With Joan and I like it very much. Some of her guests included Margaret Choo (loved that interview), Ru Paul, Anthony Jeselnik and Nick Kroll. It is very intimate (it’s in her bed after all!), very funny and very uncensored (all good things me thinks).

But best of all – there is no geo-cock-blocking nonsense going on and you can watch it regardless of where your IP might be located. It is also available on iTunes and YouTube.

The World’s End trailer

Posted on by

Dear ladies and gents,

I have a bit of a Simon Pegg problem. As in I like him loads and think he is hilarious (have you seen Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz? If not, what are you waiting for?) and then I end up watching stuff like Mission Impossible: The Ghost Protocol because he is in it. It’s ok, feel free to judge.

Anyhow Simon Pegg teamed up with Nick Frost and Edgar Wright once again on the World’s End. What can I tell you? It looks awesome and it also stars Martin Freeman? Also I totes would love to this particular pub crawl. However (and unfortunately) the only semi-survival skill I possess is locating the nearest bathroom.

The World’s End premieres on July 19th in the UK and August 23rd in the US.

First trailer for Under the Dome

Posted on by

Dear ladies and gents,

the first trailer for Under the Dome was released. Ok, it’s not really full length trailer, but a teaser trailer? Ugh I hate all these gimmicky names, I mean O RLY with all that.

My grumpiness aside and although you cannot see all that much in the trailer I am still cautiously optimistic. Maybe it’s because I’m currently reading 11/23/63 and loving it! Also (and I have probably mentioned this before) if I’m looking to add new things to my reading list anything recommend by King usually ends up being really good (you can look up his books/TV/movie lists at EW, if you are like me nosey about what other people are reading and looking for recommendations).

But I digress. Under the Dome trailer thingy below.
