*You're not offended by the occasional fuck, shit and c%&t.
*You like good writing, original photography, and crazy sex (not necessarily all at once or in that order).

If that sounds like you, hang around. Check out what's inspiring us on this here blog, and if you like paper, buy a print issue of Corker magazine, if you like trees, buy the iPad version.

We chatted to Calvin Hannaford from The Australian Ballet, before the opening night of Bodytorque.Muses, about inspiration. Here’s what he said. About losing inspiration… Calvin: When you do something you love so much, and maybe it feels like you’re not improving, just go back to that feeling you first had when you originally started. And remember why you’re doing it. I remember back to when I started dancing at the age of five and getting out on stage and that feeling of … I don’t know … just performing, really. CORKER: Try and explain that first feeling. Calvin: Just the excitement … I don’t know … It’s so hard to explain. Like [Calvin pauses and takes a deep breath] once you get off stage, there’s something running through your veins. You just feel on top of the world for hours and it takes a long time to come down. And that feeling … you’re always trying to get that back. CORKER: It sounds like a high. Calvin: Yeah, definitely.  It’s pretty awesome actually. It’s very addictive. CORKER: It’s better to be addicted to dancing rather than a narcotic [laughs]. Calvin: Exactly [laughs].

YOUR QUESTION: Should I spend $18 on a ticket to watch Barney’s Version?OUR ANSWER: It’s definitely a more productive use of your time than having “fun, fun, fun, fun” petitioning Rebecca Black to teach the local ESL class the order of the days of the week. But, if you’d like to be sure, we’ve compiled a short quiz for you. If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, fork out the moolah. 1. Are you a fan of the book the film was based on by Mordecai Richler?2. Do you like your dramas interspersed with dick jokes? 3. Have you always wondered how grumpy old men got that way? 4. Do you like dishing out awkward truths, such as “Better that the guy lives a lie instead of inconvenience the family”?5. Would you like to see any of the following people have sex:a) The balding dude from Big Momma’s House? (Paul Giamatti, not Martin Lawrence - we didn’t say the “guy in the fat suit”.)b) Felicity’s hot piece of man-ass? (Evidence: http://bit.ly/gvI4dv)c) Minnie Driver (Um, we’re trying not to judge … )We answered yes to all of those questions, except the Minnie Driver one, and we gave the film 4/5.Barney’s Version opens in cinemas across Australia today.
