Goodbye old friend
Pint-sized Canadian popstar Justin Bieber is making waves in the Twittersphere this morning after Paramount Pictures released a trailer for his upcoming bio-pic.
Yes, that’s right, next February fans will be able to see the ‘struggles’ that the 16-year-old has been through to get to the top of his game … and what’s more it’s in 3D … like everything these days, even real life.
Entitled Never Say Never, the trailer is a celebration of the human spirit, reminding us we must never give up on our dreams … however old we get … that’s right, if you’re 15 and still trying to break into the music industry, there’s still a chance.
‘They said it would never happen, they said he would never make it … but YOU never stopped believing’ … and now YOU’VE reaped what you sowed.
Of course Bieber online is a phenomenon matched only by the might of Lady Gaga, so the hashtag #neversaynever3D has rapidly ascended to the the number one Twitter trend today, largely fuelled by adoring fans watching the trailer (which you can see here) again and again.
However, as always, not everyone has nice things to say about the youngster, as perennial Twitter cynic Lord_Voldermort7 (I don’t know what the other 6 are up to) proves with his rather witty and astute point: ‘Bieber’s movie’ll be in 3D? So it’ll seem like he’s in front of you, but you can’t hit him? It’s like a nightmare!’
Elsewhere, the news that the Sony Walkman will no longer be made has been attracting attention in the Twittersphere for a couple of days now.
Yes, that’s right, although no one has bought a cassette in over a decade, little did you now, Sony have been plugging away all these years producing Walkman’s still, presumably exclusively for museums and landfill … well, it’s over, Sony have said enough is enough … they need more time to concentrate on their new ranges such as portable laserdisc players, 8-Track players, minidiscs and the quite revolutionary portable LP player.
Richardroeper summed up what we were all thinking when he said: ‘Sony announces it will no longer make Walkman cassette players. In other news, Sony was still making Walkman cassette players?’ and DjinnieUK struck a chord with my childhood when he Tweeted: ‘I always wanted a Walkman and all I ever got was portable cassette players, much like those kids with shitty mp3 players who ask for an ipod’
RIP Walkman … you would be missed … if it was 1995.
And finally, talking about 1995, that was the last time #takethat toured together as a five piece.
I love how Justin is still a “pint-sized popstar”
He’s like 5’6. xD lol
