(1/9) Big Ideas: Christopher Hitchens.

[grahamlaw85]

@TheServiceWeb There is no creationism- evolution debate! Creationism is a complete joke!

[grahamlaw85]

Had to turn this off after a minute the interviewer is a complete douchbag! I love hitchens to.

[AmuseD21]

@stevecrm114 He's an inner western hipster, it's what we do :P.

[Tredicity]

They say the Hitch didn't suffer fools; this interview is evidence to the contrary.

[herbs772]

@stevecrm114 calm down it was for like 2 seconds and he was probably just checking notes about key questions to ask.

[manonthemount]

@dizzythegreat or dying from cancer. douchebag

[sammagpie]

@dizzythegreat yes he was

[zackhanscom]

@stevecrm114 maybe he's checking the time. or it vibrated and he shut it off.

have some imagination.

[Cylixx3]

Poor Julian seems uncomfortable interviewing in front of such an audience. Still, he's an arsehole.

[Caydn]

@Cylixx3 and your not ?

[Cylixx3]

@Caydn

okay dude, its amusing having you follow my comments and trolling and such but seriously, im just words on the internet. in comments you displayed a total lack of empathy for ya fellow humans, so i arrogantly called you an idiot, I'm sorry for being rude.

[Caydn]

@Cylixx3 I have little empathy for humanity but Im more then willing to let the matter drop , have a nice day.

[rdvqc]

I don't always agree with Hitch but I always find him interesting and though provoking. If you have read Hitch 22 you would at least have a profound respect for the voyage of his life and the vast exposure and experiences he has had. I also respect is ability to evolve his thinking based on time and experience. None of us got it right the first time short of becoming "brain dead"

[FistPie]

You are interviewing Christopher Hitchens, an intellectual giant of our time. Put away your fucking phone. Where else do you have to be?

[bossmonkeykj]

@FistPie aggravating, I agree, but to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he needed the time on his phone to pace the interview?

[Tomekwinxs]

@stevecrm114 it's only Hitchens who cares.

[ulkien]

May I call you Chris? How surprising... the interviewer didn't actually read the book...

[ItsameAlex]

@stevecrm114

'you don't know how it ends'

unfortunately now we know how it ends

[zencat999]

@stevecrm114 looking something up. maybe a question from someone.

dont be so fucking jumpy.

[UnOxonien]

Wow, whoever that interviewer is, he is AWFUL. Stop cracking terrible jokes??

[anaemia]

This would be better if it were Hitchens interviewing Morrow.

[FaganRoberts]

I'm surprised Julian wasn't wearing a robe and slippers whilst smoking a pipe with a dumb blonde and an ale by his side to go with his "laid back" attitude. LOL

[Evolvedprimate]

The interviewers body language shows he dislikes Hitchens.

[hmsmatthew]

@Evolvedprimate I think he is heaps nervous and feels threatened, bad hot for an interview, hes a comedian not an intellectual

[zencat999]

@Evolvedprimate fuck "body language"...its bullshit

[G58]

@Evolvedprimate He's an Australian intellectual pygmy. Apologies for the tautology.

[bekka1969]

Love Hitch...wish him the best with his battle against cancer!!!!

[MrCuntyballs2U]

Great mind..... Shame about the body

[papavb]

julian morrow is awesome first of all, and if you don't think so, find the chaser's war on everything on torrents.

second, more hitchens = yes

[TheSpoonFedFukWit]

As much as i want to watch this, i can't take the interviewer.

[wilsopup]

Aaah I was there just sitting in awe of this amazing man.

[Airsoftaddict78]

@Fabstaire I'm seeing alot of people referring to the interviewer looking at his phone, which I agree is rude in this situation, but MAYBE he was trying to keep track of time?

[choney20]

@stevecrm114

phones do have a timer-function...

[richardcadbury]

@stevecrm114 u can see how he tries to hide it by putting it out of hitchens' view on his leg, and then glancing at it for a few very brief moments at a time. fail

[richardcadbury]

we used to call our neighbour "Commander Wilson" decades after his retirement.

[FAC328]

:-| @ Morrow.

[alexkx3]

@graemealee "The Church of England is to religion what the cucumber sandwich is to food" I love that!

[th3magicnumber]

Christ! I want to hurt the interviewer. Not just for the fucking ridiculous phone business, but watch whenever he laughs at a joke, he immediately stops laughing. Fake ass mother fucker.

[TheIkaraCult]

So, im watching Hitchens do his inimitable thing, Im listening, im enjoying, Im learning. But every time Hitchens says something interesting or funny, all i can think is PINK BLOODY SHOELACES?

I couldnt bring myself to leave the house in pink shoelaces let alone sit in an audotorium interviewing Christopher Hitchens. Thats like meeting Nelson Mandela whilst wearing a pair of comedy tits, this man has no respect.

[theREALshafan]

@TheIkaraCult

he's a comedian, and he's Australian. Australians have a much more casual culture than Americans or Europeans in regard to social situations, dress, satus, etc.

It's not a lack of respect, its just casual australian social culture.

[kevrs2]

@stevecrm114 i noticed that as well,its as if that asshole,couldn't wait to get out of there,that would bug the life out of me if i was being interviewed ,by him ,how the hell could one keep a train of thought...unbelievable!!!

[Jason011987]

For Christ's sake! I'm 18 seconds and Julian Morrow's already acting like a fuckwit. Right out of the gate, he laughs at his own pitiful attempt at a joke, looks to Hitchens for reciprocation, and... nothing. What a dipshit.

[fishnchimps]

I'm sorry but I can't watch this. The Hitch is always worth listening to but his awesomess is overshadowed by the dumb numptiness of the soggy, weak, loser of an interviewer.

[Akatam0t0ma]

I had no idea he hates being called Chris. Crap, looks like I've committed some blasphemy... :-(

[myjizzureye]

Oh jesus, the interviewer fucked this, i cant watch more than 5 mins

[Krumbz2003]

Such an interesting, intelligent, well read character Hitch is.

[deelnyc]

this guy doesn't know who mother Teresa is and he wants to be an interviewer?WTF!

[omgwtfemo100]

@deelnyc In australia Julian is a massive troll. He used to write/produce and star in a show called "the chasers war on everything". I bet he was trolling hard up here, to be honest I have no idea how he got this interview.

[rothery86]

@deelnyc That was a joke. But yes, he isn't the best interviewer

[payn0094]

"This time it's personal" :-D

[Hool39]

The interviewer makes this series painful to watch.

[gizmofsu]

Awkward Australian interviewer, not uncommon.

[SecularResponse]

@Fabstaire This had me stopping the video to think about it for awhile! This is a profound comparison that has me in awe of the man! And anyone who's read Chaucer knows exactly what he's talking about! Hitch is one of the sharpest tacks in the box!

[polymath7]

@SecularResponse "...one of the sharpest tacks in the box!"

One must admit he shows all the sharper for so often being seen in the idiot box. He is one of the very, very few "public" intellectuals, or semi-regular televison commentators, to display any wit or erudition whatsoever.

In the land of the blind...

[SecularResponse]

@Fabstaire It all starts when he suggest Christopher's Aunt was looking for the word clitoris online. You could see it on his face! What a fucking moron to say that! No excuse for that kind of idiotic statement! Still, the questions drew the conversation in interesting directions, and even squeezed a few nuggets not in the book!

[Airsoftaddict78]

@stevecrm114 and yawns!!!!!

[SecularResponse]

In defense of Mr Morrow, he asked bloody good questions, didn't he? It's not a complete loss as Hitch could make paint drying interesting!

[ThotherBrother]

When I think of what I would give for a chance to talk with CH...

Julian Morrow is a moron. He appears as a toddler who needs to pee.

[Bangell99]

The interviewer is a total moron... >_>

[jerryhello100]

@Bangell99 No, I think he's just Australian.

[jessekoptie1]

Who is the questioner? I can't stand this motherfucker. He looks at the crowd when he asks a question. Cunt!

[ytfmichaelxu]

4/5 of all the audio transtions are wrong. What horrible beta.

[arex1338]

What a numbnuts interviewer.

[arumugamyau]

Thanks for sharing !

[qwer4o]

Thank you!!

[dewinthemorning]

Very touching!
