Bryant Hall turns 50 this year but here are some anecdotes that are likely to be missed in the celebrations.

16


Kanye West ”400 years sounds like a choice” when referencing slavery. Seriously? Things that are choices include: Marrying a Kardashian; wearing a MAGA hat; waiting five years to drop a gospel album; almost everything else. Things that are not a choice: Slavery.

Vanessa Hudgens “Even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible... but inevitable?” When the world is faced with a global pandemic and we were looking for empathy and rationalisation did anyone say “I wonder what Gabriella from High School Musical has to say about this.”

Issue 21 8th September, 1996

Leah Michelle Maybe don’t say how much we need to recognise people of colour when you have spent your entire professional career marginalising them to the point where there are complaints and tell-all books. Just listen and be better.

John Mayer Apart from his relationship with a barely legal Taylor Swift, John Mayer also spent interviews in the mid 2000’s calling his penis a white supremisist. I think we can safely say that his is not the nuanced voice we need in our lives right now.

Kendall Jenner and Gal Gadot These two are put together in this because unless we have missed something, drinking a Pepsi didn’t fix racism and the first COVID vaccine wasn’t produced by synthesizing chemical’s with out of tune renditions of John Lennon songs. Just shut the fuck up!

Sad Songs To Cry To At 2am Hannah Petuha

Gossip Girl Reboot Pilot Bronwyn Laundry

From 2008 to 2012, Gossip Girl was my life, specifically the costume stylings, HBIC attitude and penchant for headbands of one Miss Blair Waldorf. With its mid 2000s status comes a lot of problematic baggage - an entirely white, cisgendered, heteronormative cast; toxic relationships; and an unhealthy dose of CW Cringe. With all that said, I downloaded the reboot pilot the minute it aired. The set up of the return of omnipotent Gossip Girl is extremely clever and after the necessary character exposition, (its HBO baby, they can say ‘fuck’ now!) we get a beautifully executed moment of Ariana Grande’s ‘Positions’ over Kristen Bell’s iconic voiceover. The main cast is more diverses, each character from the original is represented in some way with the new cast; including a pansexual Chuck Bass, a POC #influencer Serena, a bi-curious Nate and a blonde Blair, so there’s enough callback to keep OG fans interested while appealing to a new, savvy audience. xoxo

Nintendo Switch Version of Go Vacation Caitlin Walkers-Freke

Kahurangi Cafe- Passionfruit Slice A great option if you’re not into whatever kale and quinoa shit they’ve been offering all week.

Despite not being a massive gamer, a younger me loved playing Go Vacation on Wii. Thanks to my boyfriend, I get to play it on his Nintendo Switch, and I really like it. It was a massive hit of nostalgia. I spent about three consecutive days playing it. The mini games made me want to visit Kawawii Island in real life. I also enjoyed earning keys and hunting for treasure chests. However, some of the controls were difficult to use and some instructions were unclear but that may be a fault of my own, who knows? I also would have liked it if they added new costumes for the characters or items for the villas, so that the Switch version felt unique. Overall, this game was a nice way for me to spend my days at home. If you want a chill game and can find a pre-owned version at EB, try it out.
