Ugly On The Inside
I, along with others, have made no secret of my disdain for Lawrence Money and Suzanne Carbone's daily Diary yawn-fest in The Age. No less worthy of disdain is Mik Grigg's Spy2 page in the Sunday version, a roundup (with photos) of the dazzling premiers and glittering openings graced with the presence of Melbourne's toothiest young post-private-schoolers. Why The Age thinks anyone actually gives a shit about the champagne-soaked exploits of pastels like Paige, Ellie, Hollie and Annabelle ("no, it's with two Ls and an E. Omigod!"), I have no idea. Frankly, I could care less.
Until old Mik (who's no oil painting herself, let's face it) helpfully asterisks the names identifying the shiny-of-face and pink-of-shirt at the Revenge of the Sith premiere, making sure we understood that they were "Not part of the freaks and geeks crew observed by SpyCam". Well THANK CHRIST, Mik.
God forbid you should print photos of people at a movie premiere WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE! Fans who have waited YEARS for this film and are UNSPEAKABLY FUCKING EXCITED rather than merely eager for an excuse to buy another top and get their solarium tan into Spy2 - "No, darling, put on your best frock, we're off to see, oh, goodness, I can't remember, but it's sure to be a smashing night! Don't let the freaks bother you, pumpkin, just smile for the camera and remember, if you're pretty, you can do ANYTHING!"
Tosser.
Where are you, daily Jonathan Green? Please come back. Your country needs you.
I should add a disclaimer. I wrote this before my blog was ready. It is thus a little out of date. Mik's still a tosser, but.

Who Am I Kidding?
So I guess the arrangement with these blog things that everyone's talking about is that I set out some sort of goal or something. Ideally, I would be, like, this really incisive guy who wrote about media and politics. But funny, too. But not so funny that you don't get the message. "Yeah," people (world leaders / filmmakers / sports administrators) would say. "That Peter guy from Glutbusters has his finger on the pulse. I'm going to implement his humorous yet razor-sharp observations on Australian life and culture into my next world-changing policy document / Kevin Bacon film / major rule change."
But I get the feeling that, like the Melrose Place writers, I'll start off with lofty aims like a "90210 but with more adult stories", but end up a few weeks down the track going: "Catfights in the pool! That is so totally awesome! Why didn't we think of this earlier?"
Again. Totally awesome. Glutbusters might be a bit more serious. Not much, though.
