Distaff Penumbra is now – without a doubt – Britain’s most famous actress, easily eclipsing all others, and, it seems, now at the pinnacle of her career. However, when she first appeared on cinema screens in the mid-70s in the (very) seminal Swedish Plumbers On The Job, where she played a young housewife seemingly distraught at her malfunctioning washing machine, there was very little indication that she would go on to bigger things, and better films too. One of those bigger things was - of course - Truncheon Polevaulter, the very well-blessed male actor, with whom she made a whole series of films, namely: Hot Raunchy Dirty Filth Volumes I-VII, in which Penumbra’s acting ability and range were both tested to the limit, playing such roles as: a sexually dissatisfied career...

Another film I am looking forward to. A lot.The Prince of Persia, Sands of Time, is an awesome video game. The beauty and simplicity of the game makes it a joy both to watch and to play. It's one of the few series where I have played and completed every single one of the games - so naturally I am interested in the new film.It doesn't look very Disney like, but after Pirates of the Caribbean, I guess anything goes - and the trailer above looks like it'll be a lot of fun.Forgotten SandsWhile I'm at it; Ubisoft have published the first gameplay footage for the next Prince of Persia game. That too looks great - it's meant to be a "return to its roots". Lets hope so - it looks like good fun at the moment....

Pekinese Souwester became the UK’s first all-nude presenter of a live-to-air TV history programme mostly by accident, when the flimsy summer dress she was wearing caught on an exposed halberd as she did a piece to camera from the newly restored armoury at the famous Milton Keynes medieval castle. As it was the hottest day of a unusually warm British summer – as the Met office had forecasted that it was going to be the coldest and wettest British summer on record,sales of barbeque equipment and sun cream had already reached record levels by this time – and as she was filming under hot TV lighting, Souwester had already forgone her underwear under the dress. With one eye on the ratings both her producer and director had both confirmed that this course of action was fine by them,...

Gaming is for sad, dreary nerds. People with no social lives sit around trying to wrestle the sword of Albion from a be-tentacled dragon ballsack and blah blah. That’s what a lot of idiots think about computer games. Fact is, video games are better than watching films. The GTA series is like being in a mafia flick except you, dear gamer, get to go on a pretend cop-killing spree should the plot become too boring. However, the way we go about playing games could be about to change. A new service will launch June 17th that will attempt to kill off the traditional gaming console. OnLive, which launched in 2009, will stream popular games online properly this summer. Basically, instead of downloading and going to buy things from a dusty shelf, OnLive promises games on-demand. Imagine...

Have you heard of Ellie Goulding? If you need your memory jolting into action, then she’s The Next Big Thing, mainly because she won some spurious award at the Brits the other week. Anyway, it looks like she’s got some corporate backing (away from her Polydor record deal) from Microsoft. A few weeks back, Microsoft held an event which was an X-Box Reverb-sponsored Ellie Goulding gig. Dizzyjam went down and landed in PR hell. Now, people can get prickly about musicians making money from corporate activities, but y’know, musicians want to pay the bills off quickly just like anyone else. The Who Sell Out was pretty funny, right? However, what is depressing is what bands and artistes are actually asked to do. Dizzyjam found a piece of A4 in the bogs which detailed all the...

Half Man Half Biscuit ironically sang about Joy Division oven gloves, as branding the most miserable band in music history is one of the more difficult things to do. That was, I presume, the joke. However, once, I saw a t-shirt in Urban Outfitters which featured the artwork for the group’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ LP, complete with Mickey Mouse ears slotted into it. It was a baffling sight as, and correct me if I’m wrong here, it’s hard to imagine Ian Curtis settling down to watch The Little Mermaid or Gummi Bears. However, we’ve had it wrong all this time. You see, Ian Curtis wasn’t in Joy Division. Nope, a t-shirt found on eBay clearly shows that the Factory band were clearly fronted by Mark E. Smith (click here if the eBay auction vanishes). You...

The worst thing about music piracy is the people who look at their online thievery as a political gesture… as striking a blow to an imagined man. If they just said “Everyone likes a freebie don’t they?”, it wouldn’t be half as bad. However, it has become something of a political hot-potato thanks to governments wading in to try and stop people robbing music. They’re doing this by waving a bit of paper around with DIGITAL ECONOMY BILL IS GONNA GETCHA written on it in permanent marker. The debate over illegal file-sharing and how to combat it has seen sensible people stood in the middle, abuse and red tape flying over their heads. They must be wishing both parties would just piss-off and die in a bus-shelter or something. One thing that the majority agree...

You might have picked up on the fact that we’re quite excited about the impending arrival of the Apple iPad next month, but it’s easy to see why some people think that it’s nothing more than a bigger version of the iPod Touch. Sort of the same way that a bus is just like a bigger version of a car. Fortunately, some major companies are getting ready for the advent of touch-screen tablet computing (yes, other tablets will be available) and are doing some good hard imagineering about how the new format can be best used. Here’s a glimpse into the future courtesy of Penguin Books and it shows that the iPad will be so much more than an (already-obsolete) eReader. There’s interactive games for little people that make use of the touch-screen and motion sensor capabilities along with...
