George Galloway -- A short BB Obituary.
In the end it was rather an anti-climax, I think the only thing that could have escalated the tension from the previous night was if the ghost of Jack Ruby had burst through the crowd and shot Galloway as he made his way past the press on eviction.
It was interesting to note that when Davina said she had a special message from someone that Galloway instantly said “Tony Blair”, such is the blinding arrogance of the man.
Burns is a malevolent, contorted, disfigured creature but it is straightforward malevolence, Galloway is a wholly other beast. He is charming, loquacious, eloquent and even witty yet not far underneath you feel lies a darkness so deep and pitiless that it has a gravity of it’s own. This is a man of whom Nietzsche would be proud, he is an abyss that Rodman stared into and didn’t come back from.
In the end my overriding emotion in regards Galloway is fear, fear and a desire to understand the people who, like Rodman, fall under his spell.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine
†
Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso
†
Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
I think I know what you mean. I look at him, I see him smile and I nearly think - you are OK, a fine human being. He has charm but it’s a veneer - he is vile.
Next for the chop. Pete Burns I hope, then Barrymore. I liked Maggot best but he has sat on the fence too much. Mind you in there I’d have been sitting right beside him. Scary, scary people. Chantelle or Preston to win.
