The battle for equality in sport isn’t a debate about which sex is
better but it’s more a fight to get women’s sports receiving the same respect
and attention as their male counterparts, and thus receiving equal pay for
reaching the top of their respective sports. Granted, sometimes this simply
isn’t possible especially when it comes to football where the attendance
figures, and viewing figures, of women’s football are too small to sustain the
wages that the men get but tennis is different altogether because both men and women’s
single events sell out equally. Nowadays the tournament prizes are the same
regardless of gender but in the 1970s this was not the case and this had to be
changed.

The Disaster Artist
Everything is wrong with The Room
from the dialogue to the acting, the lighting to the cinematography. Subplots
are introduced and disregarded and character relationships are unexplained. All
in all, it’s a terrible movie dubbed ‘the Citizen Kane of awful’. Despite this,
however, people still talk about it as it has developed a cult status like no
other. Midnight screenings are packed and Q&A sessions with director Tommy
Wiseau are sold out as people ironically, yet lovingly, laugh their way through
the stilted dialogue, terrible acting and nonconsequential plotting with a box
full of plastic spoons in the arsenal.
