The first look at Back to Black has prompted anger for depicting the late singer as a cartoonish mess. Is it possible to make a film about an abused artist without repeating history?Marisa Abela as Amy Winehouse on the set of Back to Black.t’s only been a week since Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black began filming in London, but the backlash has already come thick and fast.
The difference is that Elvis died some 45 years ago and he enjoyed a long, successful career before his death; as did Freddie Mercury, whosesupercharged Hollywood’s interest in films about musicians. Meanwhile it’s likely that there are even some teenagers for whom Winehouse’s death is fresh in the mind. Her career essentially lasted just six or seven years, and for many of them she was pilloried by the public, slandered in the press and battling her own personal demons.

Media ‘refuse’ to cover Alice Springs crime because of the ‘original sources’Sky News host Paul Murray says the media are refusing to cover the issue of crime in Alice Springs “because of the sources that are telling the original story”. “They’re dismissing it because it’s The Australian; they’re ignoring it because it’s Sky News; they’re pretending it’s not real because it’s 2GB,” he said. “This will lead to half of the country not trusting the news.” Mr Murray said the Northern Territory has seen “an explosion in crime” after alcohol restrictions were eased in the state, yet the media refuse to cover it “at a time when the conversation is about Indigenous Australia”. “What does it say about the collective brain of the Australian news media, that supposedly they care about Indigenous people, but they won’t cover a story of a government decision in Darwin that has let the grog flow that now means crime is affecting everyone in the heart of Australia?” Um, isn't he the media? I've seen this story all day on Sky. What exactly is he trying to say here? Sky is so confusing 🤷♂️ Aren't you supposed to be a media site and here you are covering it so you are talking your usual 🐂💩 Where is the PaulMurray that’s in the ad?

‘Greens media’ hates the concept of a modern Australia DaySky News host Paul Murray says the media never mainstreams the Australia Day opinions of people on the right of politics, with people instead swamped by “Greens media”. Mr Murray said the invasion day narrative is constantly repeated and it is “all Greens, all the time”. “Good luck having a national day when you are working in tandem with the very media that hates the concept of a modern national Australia Day,” he said. Happens with most things, the minority flood the social media channels and the politicians panic and then make a rash decision they think is popular when in fact most times it's not. Perhaps you ruined their reputation with all the bullshit the spills out of your host’s mouths.
