American: The Bill Hicks Story
Posted by unluckydip | Filed under Culture, Entertainment, comedy, film
I’m sure I’ve mentioned on here many times that I’m a fan of the comedian Bill Hicks, who tragically died at a relatively young age; one could only imagine what he’d think about the world today. I found out recently that there has been a doucmentraty film made about his life and work, looks rather interesting. If you’ve never heard of Bill Hicks or your possibility interested about the film the trailer for it is below.
If you happen to live in the Wolverhampton area I’ve found out; via the site americanthemovie.com, that it will be showing at the Lighthouse Cinema on Tuesday 18th May. If your from elsewhere in the US or UK just take a look at the site for your local airing.
EDIT: Actually it airs in Wolverhampton on 18th June. Looks like i’ll go watch Four Lions this week then.

A New Year (14 days late)
Posted by unluckydip | Filed under Personal, blog, video
Ok, So we’ve been in 2010 for 14 days now so this is a bit late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR and all that.
I’ve decided I’m gonna start blogging more often, I do enjoy it but I’m too conscious of what I’m posting, unlike on twitter. So some of the things on here, from now on, maybe more off the cuff or mundane or nothing more than pure conjecture on my part amongst the usual style of structured arguments/opinions and items of interest pulled from the various corners of the web; speaking of which I’m gonna leave you with two videos at the end of this post.
In the next few days I’m gonna make a new page tab which is basically gonna be a disclaimer that not everything on this page is to be taken at face value necessarily, or something along those lines. Anyway, I’m gonna top my glass up with some more port and post two videos that I’ve probably posted before, both rather different from each other, but both of interest to me, and hopefully yourself.

80′s Ending.
Posted by unluckydip | Filed under Web, comedy, video
I first saw this video a few years ago and thought it was pretty funny. Funny enough in fact to consider it bookmark worthy. Well my bookmarks have gone so out of control that i decided to clean them up and i’ve happend to come across the video again. I thought it was share-worthy wether you’ve seen it or not.
“See how many super-cheesy ’80s clichés you can find in this four-minute homage to the decade of the montage.”
