Politics, pomposity, and plenty of prattle

Jess Millen Thursday, 10th May 2012

In this time of almost universal disappointment in Australian political personalities, the live show of Yes, Prime Minister offers a refreshing satirical take on the hot mess that is world politics. The production was penned by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, the brilliant writers of the original BBC...

We are all Kardashians

Cam Wilson Thursday, 10th May 2012

  This article isn't about Kim Kardashian - it's about you. Let's look at the hard facts: Kim is wealthy, successful and famous.  She's a producer, a fashion designer, an actress, a singer and of course, a socialite. Her fame is indisputable - she was the top...

You Can't Review That: This Review

Jamie Freestone Tuesday, 11th October 2011

  Beginning with this sentence, the titular piece fails to engage on any level, unless you’re a particular fan of self-reference and recursion. The piece is typographically conventional, with only mild deViaTions from form or convention which (just like this parenthetical comment)...

Eurovision Organisers intimidated by the success of Big Night Out

Meg Davis Thursday, 10th May 2012

The Battle of Hastings. The Battle of Waterloo. The Gallipoli Campaign. All battles displaying great courage, planning, cooperation and (most likely) a certain quantity of alcohol. To that list ANU now adds Big Night Out 2012. At Bruce Hall (that’s right, Springsteen is not the only Bruce...

The Fifty Shades Trilogy: A Sceptical Review

Ben Latham Tuesday, 1st May 2012

  Master of the Universe. A Twilight fanfiction penned by Internet author Snowqueens Icedragon. An erotic, trashy tribute to Stephanie Meyer’s hit series that recasts Edward Cullen as a kinky, horny billionaire who turns his seedy attentions upon a naïve Bella Swan, introducing our...
