3 MINUTE WONDER: OVEREXPOSED

Channel 4 Television, 4 x 3 minutes

Tuesday 1 September to Friday 4 September 2009, 7.55pm

Filmmakers ASHLEY JONES and MELINDA McDOUGALL collaborate with photographer JACK BARNES to make this series of beautifully shot, revealing interviews with people working in or affected by the UK strip industry.

Relaxed legislation and increased commercialisation has fuelled the rise in popularity of lap dancing and strip clubs. Since licensing laws changed in 2003, the number of these venues has doubled in the UK. Once confined to the sleazy districts of big cities, there are now over 300 clubs dotted throughout the UK's town centres and high streets. Strip clubs have gone mainstream and are now an essential part of stag parties, nights out with the boys and even corporate hospitality. At a time when campaign groups are lobbying for tighter controls, these films explore the secret worlds of a club owner, a regular punter, a protestor and a dancer.

Episode 1 - THE CLUB OWNER (Tuesday 1st September 2009, 7.55pm)

“I don’t think any mother would want their daughter to be a stripper. I’m sure my mum didn’t want me to be a stripper. Lucky for her, I didn’t have the figure…”

A club owner talks about running a successful strip pub with her mum.

Episode 2 - THE PUNTER (Wednesday 2nd September 2009, 7.55pm)

“Purely because you know you aren’t going to sleep with the girls, it makes it much easier for chaps to talk to them. They’re real people. They happen to perform naked.”

A regular punter explains why he loves the welcoming atmosphere of a strip pub.

Episode 3 - THE PROTESTOR (Thursday 3rd September 2009, 7.55pm)

“My daughter will be able to see this club from her bedroom window. I can’t imagine any father would be happy about that. I don’t want my daughter to think that’s normal behaviour.”

A protestor explains why he believes the lap dancing club opening at the end of his street is a bad idea.

Episode 4 - THE DANCER (Friday 4th September 2009, 7.55pm)

“Narrow-minded people do link strippers to prostitution... but I would always say that I’m not actually selling my body, I’m selling the idea of my body.”

A dancer reveals why she enjoys taking her clothes off in front of hundreds of men every week.

Many women i abusive relationships choose to stay in that relationship through fear, because of the hold their partner has over them. For those who decide to leave there are women's shelters they can run to in hope of starting their lives again.
But what happens when 100% of state funding for domestic violence shelters is cut? (they rely on 35% funding from the state) never gonna happen, right?

WRONG

Governor of California, Mr Arnold Schwarzenegger has done just that. along with:

$8.3 - California Conservation Corps
$6.2 - Aging
$25 - Community Clinic Grants
$37.5 - In-Home Health Services
$12 - Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Services
$16.3 - Domestic Violence Reduction Program
$50 - Early Start Children's Program
$4.1 - Mental Health Caregivers Resource Center
$2 - CalGrant Student Aid Commission
$25 - Funding for State Employee Healthcare Costs
$27.8 - Williamson Act (helps restrict land to agricultural or related open space use)
$24 - Department of Finance Emergency Funds

I am far from being a radical Feminist, but this is something that hits home to me. I know women that have benefited and have been able to put their lives back together after hideous abuse due to Women's Shelters and the staff that work there.

Surely SuperObama can step in ad bitchslap the Nazi sympathizer...

Josh Saco Knows Good Horror

2008-10-30T08:30:00.000-07:00

The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari - German - 20 - Scary? not the point. Beautiful. Inspirational. Ground breaking. You watch this film and spend most of it in awe, and once that wanes you spend the rest of it spotting all the things other film makers have nicked to make their film better.

Repulsion - UK - 65 - Most of the time when you think of Polanski and horror, you think Rosemary’s Baby, but this is his first non polish outing and is a wonderful creeping sleeper of a horror film. Days later you start thinking about this and relating. Also a pretty raunchy sex bit, which was a first.

Peeping Tom - UK - 60 - Before Psycho, there was Pepping Tom, Hitchcock took inspiration and managed to out shine this. PT destroyed an otherwise well respected director and he never managed to recover. For the first time ever, we relate to the villain, we almost pity him as he kills pretty girls on the set of a Carry On film.

El Orfanato - Spain - 07 - Creepy, positively creepy. Del Toro produced this masterpiece about a mother who’s child has vanished from the old haunted orphanage they just moved into. But then was what you just watched a horror film? or...

Tale of Two Sisters - Korea - 03 - The Koreans really do horror well. Breathtaking cinematography, gorgeous settings never fail to unnerve you. A classic tale of the two sisters and an evil step mother. About to be remade and destroyed in the states, see it now so you can be cool. Wait for the twist.

Honourable Mentions:

Ring - See it or you’re a twat

Devil’s Backbone - evil kids, nuff said

Hellraiser - But you’ve already seen this

Audition - Korea - What the FUCK is in that bag?!

Tombs of the Blind Dead - Zombie HORSES!!! Awesome!

Ichi the Killer - You can’t handle this much goreFaust - Horribly over looked classic Ils - Scary, scary French horror

Nikesh Shukla's top 5 scary movies

2008-10-28T08:36:00.000-07:00

1) Carry on Screaming - the fact that you could grow werewolves from severed fingers scared me so much as a child.

2) The Lost Boys - who says vampires need to be scary. Sometimes they just wanna rock out to Inxs and get juiced up.

3) The Grudge (Japanese version) - that low rumbling throaty noise that accompanies every sighting of the spectre is pretty chilling.

4) Blade - not strictly horror but anything with vampires and samurai-welding nutcases who don't do their taxes properly is alright with me.

5) Witchfinder General - quite chilling and full of boobies to boot, which made a nice contrast from all the gut-wrenching political evil and macabreness going on.

The George And Dragon

2008-10-08T02:14:00.001-07:00

Tony was a regular when the George first opened. He was a step up from a bum but was the sweetest guy you could meet and i used to enjoy him telling me tales of the merchant navy/east end life while i was working. He claimed to be Joan Collins cousin, i'm not sure if i believed him. above is a picture given to the george after Tony died.

this is pretty much what Tony looked like in his later years. sometimes i say hello to it. we miss Tony.
