“Yeah”.

Oh dear, the stupidities we commit
while young.

And now, I won’t‘ bore you with the
slow change of my musical alliances, I
love it. I listen to the breakfast show
every morning, possibly because my
flatrnate is the DJ and runs a very cool
show, and regularly tune in during the
afternoons and during paste up for the
paper. I don’t like all of it, some of the
techno doesn’t thrill me and I’ll never
get into jazz, but that's my problem, not
theirs.

And the ads, one just played which
said “99.4fM, it’s got‘bubbles." I really
like the ads.

00 oo 00, and the DJs too, they’re
really funny, specially when t[...]n air though.

So, take a risk and have listen to the
station for a week, not just for a day,
for a decent enough time that some of
the songs become recognisable. I get
sick of people w[...]r
30 seconds and, when they didn’t un-
derstand the song, quickly ran back to
the security of the Spice Girls and other
marketing breakthroughs.

Tune in to the station, ring up the
DJs and request a song, ring up the DJs
and just chat, ring up the DJs and scare
them because you’re a strange wee girl
who always rings up the DJs.

Lastly, the best thing about the sta—
tion is that it is yours. While I can’t see

out of our fees this year, I encourage all
of you to make use of this service, the
week after Easter when we can complain
that we didn’t get enough chocolate from

Oh yeah, one other thing. I have to

Soon enough, however, we hit the hard stuff: the

beginning to wish that the p had been gate-crashed
by Darth Vader and a squad 0 Storm troopers instead.
Then we could have had The Ewoks Exterminated,

Speaking of drink, the other bonus of early morning
TV is the ads for the toys, such as, and I am not

The next cartoon was Phantom 2040, a futuristic

Weget voice-overs from the main characters, Sam
Rothstein (Robert De Niro) and Nicky Stantoro' (Joe
Pesci], on how Vegas and, mainly, the casinos work
and how they took advantage of the system to rise to

the introduction of Ginger McKenna, masterfully played
by Sharon Stone. Ginger is the most powerful and,

Sam has lots. The stage is set for a disastrous fall
from power, which is hinted at in every scene of the
film, but only revealed in the last reel. What is so
remarkable about "Casino" is that is seems to be the
culmination of several films Scorcese has directed over
the past few years. Besides the obvious comparisons
to the physical violence in "Goodfellas" and "After
Hours", some of Scorcese's last film, "The Age of
Innocence" appears here - mainly in the form of social

commentary and the society of the time. Robert De
Niro gives another marvellous performance as Sam
Rothstein. He does more than the typical mobster
figure from "Goodfellas". he tries to overcome his
Mafia ties by immersing himself in the culture of a
city where iHegal ways are worshipped. De Niro provides
the king around which the kin dom comes crashing
down. Sharon Stone, surprising y, is great. She starts
out as the typical mon —grubbing woman of dependent
means but takes the c aracter to another level as her
marriage becomes destructive. Her downward spiral
is perhaps the most heart felt in the film, a remarkable
feat by Stone since her character is despicable. Pesci
is great, but this is the same as his performance he
gave in "Goodfellas". He is the stick of dynamite with

It is very violent, with lots of gruesome gangland gore,
and the three—hour running time.wi11 no doubt bother
some people. Scorcese knows exactly the story he
wants to tell you and will not compromise his art.
You just have to go into the film knowing it's long and
completely absorb yourself into the plot, which is
complicated, but never boring.
