Bioscope

 


 

TCM plays the most beautiful classic movies such as Lawrence of Arabia and Girl Happy; yes I know the two are very different in that one is annoyingly  light and frothy and the other has political tones and racial subtext, but dangit both are good in their own respects. Girl Happy has really got me into this whole 'Elvis hype' I'm looking forward to seeing his other movies : Viva Las Vegas (1964), Change of Habit (1969) and King Creole (1958). Another Favourite of mine is Peter O'Toole, guy was HOTTT when he was younger, with the ginger hair and green eyes damn!!!! Well I love 'Lawrence of Arabia',' Becket' and 'The Ruling Class' and I cant wait for TCM to air those. And of course The IT man himself, Marlon Brando. The first time I ever saw this man act was in 'The Godfather', and he scared me. Then I saw him in 'A street car named desire' as part of my schooling at an art school and from that day on I've been a huge fan of the man, and not just because of the "Stella scene" or that tight t-shirt he was wearing. From this artist I would love to see 'The wild one'.

You walked lightly

You Walked Lightly You walked lightly into my life Captivating and lovely to my mind, At first, I never cared who you were Now I don’t know who I am without you, You kissed me I felt my world change, You held me I heard my heart awaken, You loved me And my soul was born anew You walked lightly into my life Now my heart knows who you are And with every breath And every step I take down lonely roads, Your hand is my staff Your voice is my guide Your strength my shelter You’re passion my awakening. You walked lightly into my life, And all my pain You took as your own, And all my fears You cast into the sea, All my doubt Lost in your eyes, You walked lightly into my life And no matter if you choose to stay or go, My life is forever changed, Just because you loved me For a moment in time. And because I choose To love you For the rest of mine. - Tracey Newson -

The riot has been televised : madness in protea south

The riots in Protea South in Soweto have left the residents of both Chiawelo and Protea North shaken, perplexed and genuinely confused. One who lives in a house cannot possibly fathom the problems a person who lives in a shack faces on a day to day basis. With that in mind I, as a resident of Chiawelo , cannot understand how the people of the shanty town in Protea south can choose to stay in an unsafe area that is not fit for habitation when a better suited area with houses made available for them  has been prepared. Never-mind the luxuries of having a shopping complex a five-minutes’ walk away,a police station a stones throw away, a main road that provides many modes of transport  and few services that are taken illegally, should it not be health that takes precedence over convenience in this case. This is just my opinion.

Nothing PAP about this flex

In the days before snap-backs and letter-man jackets were big in this hemisphere, when Kwaito was still King, Siyabonga Ngwekazi was rocking his own style. We should have known he would rise to the levels he has when we were tempted to watch that basketball show on a Saturday afternoon, knowing full well that soccer was our fix. We should have guessed that we would be hooked on this man’s style and charisma when he appeared on our screens again and again, first on Street Journal (2005), Real Goboza (2008), Metro FM Music Awards (2007) and when he graced the screen in 2009 with the now infamous Nonhtle Thema on Vuzu, we were sold. He branched out into the radio business, hosting a show with MTV’s Sizwe Dlomo on YFM – I remember a time when I didn't like hip- hop that was a time before “Seez and Scoop”. He now ventures into the world of fashion with his brand P.A.P, he calls the men’s clothing line “Pieces by PAP”, PAP ( Parental Advisory Productions) being a joint venture;...
