Unloveable - an amateur film

Thanks to Søren Pedersen for the link to Unloveable, a 10 min. 45 sec. short film. It's today's pick at AtomFilms:

Unloveable
UK | 10:45
Comedy International


Director: Peter Naylor, Carl Hunter
Producer: Domestic Films
Principal Cast: John Daniels, Megan Ott

Presented in conjunction with the Edinburgh International Film Festival

Synopsis
A young American's search for meaning takes her under bridges, to graveyards, inside coffeehouses, and outside the Manchester mansion of angst-rocker Morrissey. One local lad has seen it all before -- and he's ready to cash in!

Definitely worth checking out (one of the funniest things I've personally seen in a long while). The Real Player G2 is required - for some reason the link on their page wouldn't open up on my IE browser, but it worked with Netscape. If you want to just type in the URL into the Real Player "open location" feature, I've put them in this text document.

Irish tour not 'absolutely' confirmed

OK, maybe it's not totally confirmed at this point. So consider it still a rumor. From ct:

As regards to Morrissey playing the National Concert Hall in Dublin: I went over there to check it out but they say it's not absolutely confirmed and probably won't be until early in September.

Mojo Nixon interview mention

From Peter Lynn:

Morrissey fans might want to take note that he is mentioned in a recent interview with musician Mojo Nixon that was conducted by "The Onion's A/V Guide" with regards to his new album.

An excerpt is as follows:

O: Your cover of "Girlfriend In A Coma" was a nice way of taking a jab at Morrissey.

MN: That song lends itself to Mojoness very well. Morrissey is pathetic. He doesn't eat meat, he doesn't get laid, and he's crying all the time. He's like an 8-year-old kid whose dog gets run over every day at 4:30. He's kind of an easy target.

Noel Gallagher's statement re: Johnny Marr

From Ken Joyner:

Noel and Liam Gallagher held a press conference concerning the departure of Bonehead, and now Guigsy, from Oasis. Someone asked a question about Johnny Marr as a replacement for Bonehead:

Q: What about Johnny Marr?

Noel: Johnny who? Johnny's doing his own thing at the moment.


A short statement, but one nonetheless, and a little bit relevant to the site here. I pulled this from the transcript located at NME.com.

Momus mentions Morrissey again

From Sadia:
...in his Column, Momus mentions Morrissey in the last paragraph.

"...At the very worst Kris, had he lived, might have followed Morrissey, Derek Jarman and Pasolini down the steep, masochistic path which leads to straight rough trade and the sexual desire for one's own nemesis. A rocky route to destruction known also to the small percentage of jews who are anti-semitic, and 100% of Maoist intellectuals."
