A night at the flicks

We went out to see a movie last night, 'My Super Ex Girlfriend'. It starred Uma Thurman basically playing an autobiographical role (nah just kidding, but she is a foreboding woman) as G-Girl superhero / Jennifer Jones mousy and glasses. Eddie Izzard plays Professor Bedlam, her arch nemesis. Luke Wilson is Matt Saunders who starts dating Jennifer Jones who then reveals her true identity (G-Girl) to him, but problem is he's in love with someone else. Matt breaks up with her, and you know what they say about a woman scorned.... and she's got superpowers (throws a shark though his window, takes all his clothes when he has a company meeting, etc.) A good comedy, but the night we went the cinema was packed and had a smelly person sitting in our row. Also resent being asked to pay $5.50 for a pack of M&Ms. But the movie was worth seeing if only just for the bed scene. And Uma Thurman either really is crazy or a very good actor.

England took our degrees

Melbourne had a record low temperature this morning of 2 degrees centigrade. I heard on the news that there were delays at Tullamarine airport cos of having to de-ice the 'planes. Delays at the airport, imagine!

So whats happened to all our sun? Its beaming down on good old blighty, where there are temperatures in the high thirties. All sense of law and order has broken down, The House of Commons issued a special "shirt-sleeve order" allowing journalists covering Britain's parliament to break with convention and enter the chamber without a jacket.

What next??

wrong proverbs

Tonight on Big Brother, Darren was insisting that the phrase 'six of one, half a dozen of the other' should be 'six, or one half dozen of another'

how many other proverbs can be bastardised? here are some suggestions:

- Absence makes the heart Jane Fonda
- Actions tweet louder than birds
- Better the devil you know than The Locomotion
- Too many cooks spoil the brothel
- Surly to bed and surly to rise
- Fools rush where angels brought me here
- Let bagels be bagels
- Nothing is certain but death and taxis

Feel free to add others.....

Big Brother

Big Brother - the show no-one admits to watching but everyone is talking about.

No, dont worry, I'm not going to go in to the whole 'turkey slapping' incident leading to 2 of the boys getting chucked out, thats been done to death in the media, but something else far more upsetting this week: Krystal getting through to the final of the very intellectual show 'Big Brother Friday Night Games' and then not wanting to compete properly because she might damage her false breasts.

Maybe she was pondering the comment from Perry ealier on in the evening who stated "Krystal, you cease to amaze me". I think it was intended as a compliment but came out wrong and ended up as a Kath-&-Kim-ism, like "I'm not a pretty face you know"

disclaimer: anyone outside Australia will have no idea what this is about
