There’s oodles and oodles to say about this book and I’m going to try and say too much and get muddled up and not say anything, so please bear with me, but first:ĭoes anyone else think Tim Burton (not current Tim Burton, but like Tim Burton from 1993) should direct a film adaptation of The Master and Margarita? I think the two aesthetics would really jive together.

So, yes, the book at hand, The Master and Margarita, one of my favourite books ever.

And I wonder when – as I snap and revel and bitch and seethe – it will really dawn on me that all this snarling long ago broke free from the confines of my treatment of these distant figures on TV.GOOD GOD THERE ARE ACTUAL TIMES WHEN WE’RE SUPPOSED TO UPLOAD THESE BLOG POSTS!ĭoes anyone know of a phenomena called Bengali hour? More commonly known here as Filipino hour, but I’m just saying, South-West Asian people tend to be late for everything. I wonder how many times I’ve screeched in disbelief at some horrible cruelty on the screen before snarling something 10 times worse minutes later. Part of the appeal of all this conflict, misdeed and emotional destruction is the opportunity to join in, consequence-free: to heat up that hideous roiling boil of a group of girls piling on top of each other. I say “we”, because I would not watch any of these alone.

“Can’t believe she said she looks like a cross between Big Bird and the Joker!” “But to be fair that other one looks a bit like a haunted doll.” In one series that I won’t name, we cackle whenever one cast member cries, which she always does. Characters we pathologise appearances we tear apart. The things we now know better than to tweet and have always known better than to say in public still feel acceptable in the privacy of my home. Georgia Steel on Love Island 2018 (Photo: ITV) It’s how nasty I’ve become while watching it. Except the meek wee virgin Matt, who – spoiler alert – got over his 29-year fear of intimacy about five episodes in, but that didn’t stop the narrator referring to him as “Ex Virgin Matt” for the remainder of his time on the series.Īnyway, as I say, it’s not the show that’s giving me a headache. I watch in amazement as this lot careen through the weekly challenges as if love is not the product of romance or connection but the double-negative of hatred and spite.

The core experiment in this Antipodean version appears to be what happens when a TV casting director corrals the most impressively profane bachelorette in the southern hemisphere into a bullring with a kind ex-stripper with an eyebrow piercing. Married at First Sight Australia (Photo: Nigel Wright/Channel 9 Australia/Endemol Shine) A grossly protracted (40+ episodes) and dramatically distorted version of the original Danish “social experiment” in which relationship “experts” matchmake singles, who then meet at the altar, it follows them as they kiss, shack up, manipulate, deceive and derail, all to see whether it’s possible to fall in meticulously engineered love at first sight (no). It’s not just the show itself, which is, by the way, one of the most alarming series I have ever seen. On Sunday night, I had to go to bed at 8pm because I’d spent 15 deranged hours watching E4’s Married at First Sight Australiaand the stress had given me a migraine.
