Guys Who Get It Part 2: The Guardian Newspaper

Justin recently wrote one of the best posts on this here site about dudes who get it... Although this isn't film related, today I'm equally inspired by The Guardian Newspaper . The first newspaper in the world to offer full articles in their RSS feed. Dear ABC, Fairfax, News.com.au etc... I now suck in all 'print' knowledge purely via RSS, and only to feeds with full articles. Sadly this means i really don't know what the hell is happening in the world outside of Tech News, Mac News, Film News, and LolCats. Thanks to The Guardian, i realise we're still at war, which is a shame, and that there's been a spot of bother with the economy lately.  Thanks Guardian, for realising it is 2008.

Why I Love Twitter #7,430,683 - Or, the Blogs I'm reading now

Ok, i really need more links than this to justify this post, but I've recently fallen in love with 2 blogs from my fellow twitterers...  First of all, Amoir is fucking hilarious. Tell me you can't read this post without subscribing to this blog.  Second, R*YAN, a fascinating dude who writes as only i wish i could.  Actually, I'll stretch out this post a little by mentioning blogs I've loved for a long time:  Mattro - I love this man so much. Hey Internet - One of those groovy Tumblr blogs... Lots of fun stuff for your RSS Reader.  TV Tonight - Reminds me what non-geeks without media centres are watching on Telly. Expertly written.  ProLost - I've mentioned it on the podcast before, but its worthwhile pimping in text. If you dig indie film making, subscribe.  EditBlog - Ok, this is getting too technical, but if you be digging the editing, dig this blog.  Plus the usual stuff like Boing Boing, Cinematical, Slashfilm, Icanhascheesburger, etc etc... If you have a kickarse blog i havent read, let me know.

Creatio Ex Materia

It appears I've found myself in a Smackdown of sorts with my dear American friend Ted McNeil. Its seems that Ted feels the need to backhand me atleast once a month on his blog over something, this time bizarrely, its over Swedish Cinema. To be fair, Ted is a great friend of mine who would really love to live in Australia, but his personal politics of "guns for all, healthcare for no-one" is more suited to the American Dream. To be even more fair, Ted's blog Creatio Ex Materia is a great read, mainly focused on film, every now and then straying into political commentary, which really should be in your RSS feed. He's one of those Americans that remind you why we buy their products, watch their films, and despite their president, we believe they really do mean well... Tell him Pete sent you...
