"It's very short notice. There's my pussy to consider."
Brought to you by: Mrs. Betty Slocombe
What a perverted old woman. Thanks to my parents TV programming I was forced to watch Are You Being Served for a good part of my life. It was actually very funny at times thanks to this lady and her double entendres. Mrs. Slocombe has two main gags: first off, as a cat lover, she consistently talks about Tiddles, her bundle of fluff, but this causes quite a few problems in that Betty insists on referring to her cat as her pussy. Played by actress Mollie Sugden (sadly passed away this year), her mannerisms, facial expressions, and her accent which shifts from upper-class to Scouse at random, all make Mrs. Slocombe one of the most ludicrously funny characters on television. Best of after the jump.
After the death of Michael Jackson I did what any normal fan would do, play some music. Never have I appreciated the song from Free Willy so much. They finally buried the poor bastard this past weekend but the news apparently never heard of “rest in peace” before. Well at least Hollywood will give it time. Oh wait.
Michael Jackson’s This Is It is a movie hitting theaters on October 28th. So far all I have heard is that the film will be a bunch of rehearsal footage. Well I doubt that because rehearsals usually sound like ass. So it will have to be dubbed over. And I am sure many celebrities who want to express their love for the man they didn’t talk to for the past decade will also want some screen time. OK I’m done being angry. Poster after the jump.
Reuters says it all about humanity: Coroner completes Jackson autopsy, film deal set.
Sony has secured the rights to release This Is It, a film using footage of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for his tour which will be presented in HD, with some sequences in 3D, when it hits theaters Oct. 30. The film is being directed by Kenny Ortega (High School Musical movies). The studio said the film will be drawn from hundreds of hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage — most of which was shot in June at Staples Center in Los Angeles and the Forum in Inglewood — as well as interviews with friends and collaborators of the late performer, who died on June 25.

I has been reported that Michael Jackson has died. He was 50. Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
I don’t really know what to say to report any more on this, obviously it’s not film related although the man did appear in plenty of films and soundtracks. You think of pop music and the first person is usually Michael Jackson, something tells me that will never change. Most people reading this must have a MJ CD, DVD or even tape they can get going, let’s play him out.
