Fall Over

Just back from Reading and needless to say I'm completely exhausted. No time at the moment for a complete rundown of events but it was just as good as it always is. Great bands, Good Friends and Muchos Partying. Now everyone get a ticket for next year! If you get the opportunity to see the highlights look out for Fall Out Boy's cover of R.Kelly's Ignition (Remix). It pretty much made my life.

On the subject of Fall Out Boy some people complain about their lyrics not making sense. But I put this question to you... WHAT THE FUCK IS A WONDERWALL?

Be Kind, Rewind

The best movie of next year?

From the director of Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind and Science of Sleep (You should see it if you havn't yet) and starring Jack Black and Mos Def. The trailer is better than many films I have seen. Knocked Up and The Bourne Ultimatum are also two films you should go and see. What are you waiting for? Go!

Furby or not Furby

So I've noticed that there seems to be a bit of a craze for turning toy lines into live action movies. Consult previous posts for me gushing about how Transformers got it so very very right. At the other end of the spectrum there is Bratz being released next week. To be fair all I've seen of Bratz is the trailer. However, if this is anything but one of the worst movies of all time I'd be shocked. The aforementioned trailer paints it as a sort of pre pubescent Mean Girls, why would anyone want to see that? I say go for The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I havn't seen it but it is Jose Antonio Franco's Fourth favourite movie of all time.

So whats next??? Power Rangers already had a live action movie (Ivan Ooze!?!) but I'll save that memory for another time. I think Hollywood is missing a trick. Why hasn't Furby: The Movie been put into production. I'll save the writers some time. The occupants of the planet Furbis are dieing from Furpes disease. The Furbis High Council elect to send their mightiest warrior KooKaLahCha to find help from an uninfected Furby colony on Earth. His spacecraft is struck by a meteor and damaged. Our hero is forced to land in the garden of 12 year old Aaron. Using it's basically retarded communication skills KooKaLahCha must get Aaron to help him save his planet by finding the lost Furby city all the while fighting the effects of Ferpes. Along the way Aaron learns about friendship and love and what it means to truly be a hero. It's a light hearted action romp for all the family. Sean William Scott has already expressed an interest in voicing KooKaLahCha. Shia LaBouef could play Aaron even though he is clearly much older than 12. Jason Biggs is not being considered for any part. I see it as a Franchise - Sequels, A Cartoon, Christmas Specials (A Furby Christmas Carol) and all the assorted Tie-Ins. If Hollywood is lazy they could just release Gremlins again with a different poster.

Slammed

Going Away / Birthday Party Bonanza + Pendulum + The Splash + Camping = Hangover! I think there might be a cosine function in there somewhere but you get the basic picture. After this deadly combo, I spent this glorious sunny day lieing on the couch watching Sky Movies Family, to be more specific I watched Cheaper By The Dozen 2. I couldn't handle anything taxing and this movie is pretty much the definition of not taxing. The characters were incredibly broad and their respective arcs were blindingly obvious from the start, still, in the state I was in I was nearly brought to tears on more than one occassion. Overall, the movie has Hillary Duff in it so you can probably just watch it without the sound on and furiously masturbate. The title bothered me slightly. They should have called it 'Cheaperer By The Dozen' or 'Cheaper By The Two Dozen' or 'Cheaper By The Thirteen' or 'Space Crusade'. They're all good titles. Also I think that whatever film Eugene Levy is in he should play a Dad if I see him in a film I presume he is a Dad. I wish he was my Dad.

One of yesterday's Birthdays was Liams. As is now the tradition we buy him pornography. I say 'we', Laura bought the magazine I stood behind her and said 'this is because you fail to satisfy me'. I thought Escort was a classier magazine than that. I'm sure Liam's enjoying it anyway. Maybe next year we will make him a porno.

You should definitely watch Entourage and listen to the new Yellowcard album. Probably not at the same time though.
