...and put on shitty morning TV
Well I know I'll be the man who does the dishes next.
Off the back of a conversation that happened on Thursday (CoD night, which surprisingly involved no CoD, but lots of Fifa and WoW freakout kid) I would like to share some views about 2012.
So, apparently in 2012 the world is going to come to an end, and this is all "predicted by the Mayan calendar". Did anyone ever think that maybe the Mayan's ran out of time? or the dude who was in charge of carving the calendars might have passed on and they didn't trust anyone else, or there wasn't anyone else in the tribe who was trained to carve stuff?
I do have a few theories myself though, so if you're bored, or equally interested in this phenomenon, then read on :)
Now, some scientists believe that 2012 won't be "the end of the world" but more "the end of the world... as we know it".
So this doesn't mean for everyone to hit panic stations, get to Asda and buy 2 years worth of supplies and dig out a nuclear bunker in your back yard, but more take a step back and look at how the Earth is changing right now.
The British summer... it's been more like Autumn for the whole summer. A good few years ago now, there were scientists going on about how the world is going to spin off its axis and cause weird things to happen to the Earth. who's to say this isn't actually happening? hence why our summer time has been colder than usual, and hence how my friend in New Zealand has had some unseasonal sunny and hot days for their winter.
The floods in Pakistan... could this be to do with the change of the gravitational pull for all the water on Earth as it is shifting on it's axis?
Who knows... and maybe this is what theorists have meant when they say "the world as we know it will end".
So, what are your views? what does this "end of the world" in 2012 all mean?
Maybe there will finally be a zombie apocalypse and the undead will start to walk the Earth. So maybe we should all get to Asda and get our non-perishable items stocked up!
Get to Asda or Tesco, stock up on tins of Spam, spaghetti and beans and get your arsenal ready!
Baseball bats, axes and chainsaws for close ranges attacks and if you can get an air rifle, crossbow, or a bow and arrow, these will be perfect for longer range.
If you're in America, the local gun store would probably be the best place to raid!

Your mum's so fat.. she downloaded cheats for Wii Fit
LOL!
The things people say are genius!
Apparently the funniest one-liner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was "I went on a once in a lifetime holiday... never again!"
It did take myself and Beccy (my awesome one and only) a few minutes to get onto what it meant, but come on, its not that funny!
One of the funniest things I've overheard, and I reckon this could only happen in Liverpool, was "Lad, she done me 'ead in that much, I just wanted to shove a cheeseburger down her bra!"
It was said with that much conviction, that I think he actually meant it... then again, he was wearing Nike and North Face and looked like he had suffered the wrath of male pattern baldness at the age of 17

Garbage Days, Remember Garbage Days...
Defendor... GET ON IT!
Watched this film last night and oh. my. golly! It's flippin' awesome!
Woody Harrelson is possibly one of the most underrated actors and I really hope that Zombieland has revived his career.
What's this movie all about then... I hear you ask!
Well, just think Rain Man meets Batman, meets Kick Ass and that is Defendor in a nutshell.
It's an amazing superhero comedy brought to life by the skills of Woody Harrelson as Arthur Poppington, a not altogether there adult who has lived a not altogether there life... by day he holds a STOP sign for a construction site, but by night he adorns a duct taped "D" on his polo neck jumper, and a VCR on his back to record every move through his helmet cam.
He's on a life long mission to bring down Captain Industry, eventually aided by a call girl called Kat Debrofkowitz (Kat Dennings, Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist/The Forty Year Old Virgin) who has inside info about Captain Industry!
Armed with marbles and a trench club inherited from his Grandfather, Defendor takes us on a whirlwind ride through the mind of a man whose own delusion fuels his passion to bring down Captain Industry.
This movie definitely gets two thumbs up and a big fat high five to Mr Harrelson.
For a movie that wasn't majorly advertised, was released in 2009 and is only just getting a DVD release in the UK, this is definitely one to get hold of and spend some time watching

And so it begins...
So, for some reason, I've decided to start a blog.
Probably just going to be longer, more rant induced, lovey dovey, complainy, critical and potentially cynical status updates. Although most of it will probably just be reviews of the last movie I watched...
Cool pictures, things I've overheard or been asked, or just general philosophising about life and times.
This first blog comes to you from my living room... as will most of them I presume, and has been fuelled by a day off work sick.
Belly ache is NOT FUN! Especially when you feel alright one minute and not the next.
But I've had The Foot Fist Way and Soylent Green to keep me entertained up until now.
The Foot Fist Way, an awesome comedy starring Danny McBride (Eastbound And Down, Hot Rod, Pineapple Express) who plays Fred Simmons, a Tae Kwon Do instructor, who teaches people of all ages.
He takes his life of Tae Kwon Do very seriously, giving his every bit of effort to the cause, donning his outfit pretty much 24/7 and having pictures around his dojo of his one and only hero Chuck "The Truck" Wallace, who looks like a slightly less dishevelled Kurt Cobain, but still on the drugs.
The movie takes you on a trip through a couple of weeks of his life ... his whore of a wife, his Tae Kwon Do displays, and his final meeting of his hero, Chuck The Truck.
The cast aren't all that famous, but this isn't such a bad thing as we all probably know, so I would like to give this film a big fat two thumbs up :)
Definitely for fans of stoner movies a la Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen
Next would be Soylent Green...
made in 1973, this movie stars Charlton Heston and was the last ever performance by a man called Edward G Robinson... who I had never heard of until this movie, but he seems like a brilliant actor!
Heston plays a cop, Detective Thorn, who lives in an overpopulated New York in 2022. His housemate Sol (Edward G Robinson) is his investigator, the only person who has access to a mass library of books and information that can help solve the crimes that Thorn is investigating.
The leader of the Soylent corporation gets killed, and as Thorn uses the help of Sol to unravel the mystery of who and why he got murdered, they find out the real truth behind the food that everyone can't get enough of... and that food is Soylent Green.
The whole cast are constantly covered in sweat as this is supposed to be a message about global warming and it being pretty damn hot all the time, but whilst watching this film, you can't help but think it must have smelled like Jabba The Hutt's left testicle if he was holidaying on Tattooine.
I would definitely suggest both of those movies and can safely say I don't feel like I've wasted nearly 3 hours of my life between the two of them... as I did when I was forced to watch the Twilight movies. That was almost FOUR hours of my life that I'm not getting back... now meditate on that!
