There’s nothing more horrible than one’s own body decaying; whether it be illness, the passage of time, or in the case of The Carrier (1988), a virus on inanimate objects causing people to sizzle, smoke, and deflate like dollar store water wings at Six Flags. Unlike an amusement park however, The Carrier offers no pleasures for its cast other than sudden and irreversible weight loss; for the viewer it offers up myriad strange and wonderful regional delights.
Released by Magnum Video in August, The Carrier actually had some good reviews, highlighting the quirkiness of the storyline and its offbeat delivery; which is nice to hear, as its combination of wtf, low budget shenanigans, and questionable craft could be construed by some as low rent trash. These naysayers would be wrong.

A British TV anchor was left mortified after asking Bee Gees legend Robin Gibb if his brother Maurice Gibb was watching the interview - despite the singer passing away seven years ago. Sky news presenter Steve Dixon was quizzing Robin about his twin's affair with British actress Barbara Windsor on Friday, October 8 evening - the night before she was set to reveal all about her life in an interview with "America's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan on U.K. TV.

Robin Gibb has been forced to put on a brave face after an interviewer believed his late brother Maurice was still alive.

Britney Spears' lip-synching concerts shouldn't be passed off as live shows, according to an Australian politician, adding that the public must be warned before they buy tickets if the former Mouseketeer intends to mime in her concert sets in Down Under.
Spears is set to perform 15 shows in Australia starting Friday, November 6 in Perth to November 29 in Adelaide.
Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge said that she would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse performance," telling Australia's Daily Telegraph that there should be a disclaimer on the tickets to warn consumers that the show they are about to watch is pre-recorded.
Spears' tour director Steve Dixon defended the performer's miming, telling the paper that the show is a "pop spectacular" and people come for the experience.
