General Meh Lection

Questioning my own sanity is one of my favourite pastimes so I was delighted to see I hadn't imagined Michael Caine's verbal mistakes during his endorsement of the Tory National Service policy shebang.

“I’ve actually seen a government who is interested. This government, I think, is doing a wonderful thing with the National Citizen service, so let’s give them a second chance.”

Well he's getting on a bit and these actors are hardly renowned for their brains are they?. Doesn't say much about the rich old thesp that he's prepared to emigrate if we tax him a single percentile point more on his millions. Quote taken from The Mirror's website.

Some dim wannabe Scottish Labour mp dude Mclennan has got the boot today for failing to understand Twitter. His expletive laden rants didn't go unread and after a quick think Labour HQ has decided he should go. Guido has some choice examples and points out he's a Rangers fan which frankly explains everything.

Gordo has been interviewed by Politics.co.uk and has repeated Mandy's appeal that peeps should vote Lib Dem wherever Labour can't win - he doesn't have much confidence in a Lab win then? Good advice though as I've love to see the Eton boys faces if they lost.

The brilliant B3TA has an interesting link in this weeks mailout - VoterPower shows exactly how much your vote counts by postcode - stupid old Labour should have done Electoral reform in their second term rather than try and chuck AV in at the last minute.

3 films that sucked balls

First things first, bad movies aren't exactly uncommon but here's 3 I thought might actually be good but turned out to be steaming piles of celluloid shit. Kicking off the crap fest is The Long Weekend starring Jim Cavaziel, it's a remake of a 70's Ozploitation about a couple of tiresome townies taking a jaunt into the bush only to provoke Mother Nature with their littering, casual vandalism and a general ignorance of country ways. Dunno if the original is any good but this fizzles out into a whole heap of nothing not long after starting. You'd think the Outback would be the perfect setting to get tormented by beasties what with all the poisonous critters and that but no the filmakers see some dead sea critter as the focus for fear.

Legion next, another pile of cack. The idea of an angelic war on earth sounds like pretty lucrative plot ground to me and there's plenty of decent precedents eg Walken in Prophecy & a dozen or so eps of Supernatural but no they lumber around with zombie-possessed-by-angels cannon fodder with flashbacks to supercamp Camp Angel HQ and a forthcoming mysterious birth and about a zillion million plot holes. Not worth anything.

From Paris With Love - a competent but desperately unoriginal action movie from Besson is fatally flawed by laugh out loud casting. Fey Rhys-Meyers & aged Travolta stumble through the film trying to be the Willis of different shades but fail miserably, the same film with two different actors and a couple of more gags and it could've been worth watching.

Mixed bag of Crazy

American weapons from a particular company have secretly inserted bible references into weapon id numbers. Mmm America + dullwittedness + guns + bizarro-jesus + available targets that's a sweet bitches brew of corpses. Maybe Beck/Palin's juju is on the money?

It's ok Haiti the Scientologonks are coming, leading the way is chubby can't-actor Travolta who has offered to fly some lunatics into the site of a devastating catastrophe because tiresome half-assed, made up by a scifi author, pseudo scientific beliefs are exactly was these people need right now. What a guy.

Dennis Hopper, a unique individual I'd think we'd all agree is apparently approaching his end, eek, and he just divorced his wife mmmm classy, regardless he did provide us with many great things over his long career in a number of fields and here's a great spread of his photos from the Selma March via Vanity Fair appropriately enough for MLK day in the US.

Ocean of liquid diamonds on Uranus? or maybe even Neptune? well some well smoked boffins have pondered about recent revelations bout the results of melting diamonds.

Cartoonish megalomaniac Chavez has continued his campaign against video games with his latest well thought out criticism of the genre being that they are "poison" particularly Sony Playstation, guess he's a Xboxer then. Anyways he's, err, an odd one to say the least, if he's started making statues of himself I'd hope the populace are getting scared and not cause of the visage.

Feel for author when discussing errors in his newly published book, that's shitty, won't put me off buying one of the books, the blog is amazing, I'm fond of Weed-as-super-drug Chart, totally convinced me.

Haters just bumbling around like usual

Dang, apparently Jesus freaks aint keen on sci-fi, that is bad news. Thanks to EndoftheU.

Frenchy file-sharer haters Hadopi made themselves a laughing stock by launching their copyright crusade with a copyright infringing logo/font - genius. Via TorrentFreak

Ron Jeremy, of all people, decides to hate on video games. Cock.

Idiot JC pimp Pat Robertson spouts hate towards a country reeling from a devastating earthquake, he's got form I know but c'mon surely if the Big-G exists he'd have struck this cnut down already.

Must-See Shite-TV

Somehow somewhy I'm gonna watch more of this, caught 3 eps so far and it's special, very special. Ridonkulous in parts with Seagal espousing almost supernatural powers of observation then pulling over innocent bystanders for no apparent reason to the bit when someone has a sawn-off in their pants all casual like. Quite mad.

Hot Burp from the Usual Suspects

Massive fanny-who-scares-me Beck spouts such ignorance that sometimes I'm almost lost for words, I mean I start to feel sorry for Americans - they'll have to take responsibility for such an influential 5 days a week, fear flinging, drivelling fuqtard eventually or not. Anyways you want proof ? ta to the Daily Show even though they're slower than me


Somebody has the integrity to point out those munchkin brained celebs who strangely think they should pontificate on matters they barely understand.

Guido indulges in some strange wishful thinking today, I too watched PMQ's and thought ooh the strain of another budget cock up and decreasing poll margins seem to be taking it's toll on poor David but no matter, small cheese compared to grand event though.

PKD's estate sues Google for infringement? Dunno but it weirds me out more that Lucas has dibs on the word Droid, wtf whats that about build a Droid get the name otherwise

Hopkin's amazing ventriloquism

Cool I thought I was losing my mind, switched onto Tomb Raider tonight and caught Anthony Hopkins voice coming out of Voights puffy face during a comedic remembrance by a super pouty Jolie. Anyways I thought it must have been my imagination, erm, but I googled it and some guy on some website thinks the same thing, phew, that was a relief.

Obviously Voight wasn't capable of an English accent, no real surprise, he always struck me as a div, so they got ole Tony in to do his bits - should have watched the rest to see if there was more but I'd rather not. Hopkins isnt listed in the IMDB cast list tho. Maybe madness beckons after all.
