WTC 7...WTF ?
1 + 1 = 3 WTC 7 is destroyed on 9/11 at 5:20pm. Although hit by WTC 1 debris and partially in flames, this 47 story building was never struck by a plane. So why did it collapse almost symmetrically into its footprint? See how the drop actually accelerates, as per a falling object meeting no resistance. The roof dipping first is a sign of controlled demolition. Puffs of smoke from windows running up the side are also visible. Fire fighters were told to evacuate six hours earlier. GIF credit: 9/11 Oz

website intro
Welcome to my personal webshite. It features many varied topics but covers none of them comprehensively. Updates in some form now happen almost daily. More than anything I have escalated my weblog scribblings, perhaps to the detriment of review output. Such bursts of activity are always cyclic, so I expect to burn-out and shift focus sooner or later. Copies of my drawings will appear once I buy a scanner, which might goose me into producing more art...the weblit here on Toxic Waste certainly doesn't qualify!

   censorship meltdown »

The Bill Henson imbroglio has died a death at last, due to the OFLC awarding his "contraversial" photographic exhibition a laughable PG rating. Common sense prevails, although this outcome will no doubt turn many raincoat perverts and gonzo art gawkers like myself away from his installation. Just remember that the methodology and guidelines behind this ruling also causes dozens of tame X 18+ hardcore pörnography titles to be banned locally.

Refused Classification has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto IV was pre-censored by Rockstar before submitting the game to the OFLC for classification. Rockstar originally stated that the Aussie release would be the unmodified version.

Banned by OFLC: Go Boss Go, Finish Erotica II, Belladonna's Butt Whores, Hustler Barely Legal 1, Coming Out Bi, Stop or I'll Squirt!, Slaves to Passion, Xcalibur: The Lords of Sex, (the mind boggles), Girls Gone Wild / Spring Break / Sex Riot,Clubgallery.Com: Hotter Than Hell, Her First DP Volume 4.

R 18+ Outbox: Boogeyman II, Story of O: Part II, Descent (not the UK chiller), Lust, Caution, Reservoir Dogs, Slaves to Passion (cut version one assumes), Rambo (will it be gorier than the cinema print?), Halloween DC (uncut version of the remake), Xcalibur: The Lords of Sex (with cuts), Penn and Teller: Bullshit (this played on TV), Gozu, Masters of Horror: The V Word, Born to Kill? (also shown on the idiot box), Freakshow, The Cell (this re-release should be uncut again).

MA 15+ Outbox: Quest for Fire, Madhouse, Sex and Breakfast, American Gangster (extended version I hope on DVD), Orgasms Explained, Strapping Young Lad 1994-2006 (the metal band), I Am Legend (DVD release), Weirdsville, Rats: Human Harvest, See No Evil (yes the old 1980s non-classic), Underbelly, Loch Ness Terror, The Living and the Dead, Bachelor Party II (the inevitable sequel), Hitman (extended version), Saw IV (uncut version).

Lord of War should be the US unrated version on local DVD.

The Toxic Avenger II seems to be the uncut version on local DVD, according to the reviewer for Michael's DVD Info Page. I asked him to check that the wheelchair disembowelment was expicit. Yes was the answer.

Saw IV is on DVD in the US as an unrated DVD. I never caught the local theatrical release, assuming it would be the cut version. Hollow Man director's cut does seem to include scenes removed to keep it in the US R rating guidelines (whatever the fuck they were that week). Die Hard 4.0 is now out in its uncensored version on DVD, but the HD releases are of the censored US PG-13 version. Ouch, tough break. Not that most consumers would know...

November's digital screenings of Blade Runner represent the first time the movie has ever been released in Australia uncensored. It only took 25 years. Catch this unmolested pre-MPAA version on DVD in December.

Given that I'm almost pushing 40, it was about time I posted a more recent photo of myself. With all the deceit and obfuscation on the Internet these days, one must strive for honesty.
