I'll start off by saying what has recently updated in my life is there is a job that I'm hoping to get which is a post for a Junior Clerk which just so happens to be 2 minutes down the road from me, tomorrow is the last day to apply though I sent my CV in on Thursday but I'm going to phone to make sure the manager/boss/head clerk has gotten it, y'know just in case I lose my chance. In other recent updates Dan got his charger lead and his docking station, after getting his camera working, all good on the computer, taking films of gerbils and dropping the camera in a bowl of milk, we're more or less ready to start our introductory video tomorrow evening for DNPD which you can read all about here:

Finally I managed to pay my rent this month, the last of the ebay items I bought arrived, which was my Pikachu shirt which looks so awesome and I also managed to finally buy my boyfriend his birthday gift which is about time too.
In short, the above is all about my life, don't care much for my life? That's fine, read the next bit. Though it makes me wonder why you'd be reading a blog at all if you had no interest. Whoa 30 minutes left!
And now for a little critising rant. Recently I watched the end of 'Great Movie Mistakes 2: The Sequal' I thought to myself "Oh this sounds like it'll be good. I might as well watch the last 15 minutes before Family Guy." Boy was I wrong.
First to be kind I won't mention problems with the presenter, you can't blame one person talking for making it a shit show, afterall I love the show 'Freak Like Me' though some say though they like the show they find the presenter to that freakishly annoying. So let's forget about the presenter for a moment.
Instead let's talk about what the show believes to be THE WORST MOVIE MISTAKES EVER!!!!!!! Now most of it was really stupid, things you'll never ever notice while watching the film, and if you do, you'd think nothing of it. Things like there being 1990 cars in the background of a film set in the 1960s though it only showed it for a second. The air stripes from a plain or a jet accidently thrown into a scene with clouds in a film set hundreds of years back. Most of it was new stuff accidently shown for a split second in a film set decades ago like Starbucks appearing in the reflection of a car windscreen. Like for most of these while watching you're going to shout out "OH MY GOD I CAN READ STARBUCKS BACKWARDS IN THAT CAR AND THIS IS SET IN 1950 WHERE THERE IS NO STARBUCKS OH MY GOD THIS HAS RUINED THE FILM!!!" It's for a split second, and unless you pondered on that for hours which the makers of 'Great Movie Mistakes' probably did, you're not going to notice the Starbucks sign which is clearly in the wrong year.
Now this is where I can talk about the presenter; Robert Webb. No offence to the guy but he has the most boring voice I've ever heard on television, and the way he talked about the problems with the films it's as if he thought the directors to all of those films should have been shot in the face.

So it wasn't untill he was talking about one scene where a man was talking, it cut to a woman in which case both the man and the woman had snow around them. Robert Webb said "Oh the snow machine must have malfunctioned" As it switched back to the man and you saw no snow. Back to the woman Robert says "Oh look snow but with the man...yep you guessed it no snow." Here it cuts back to the man where it is most proudly showing off a lot of snow, here you can faintly hear Robert Webb whisper; "Oh wait there is snow here." Was this scripted? How embarrised and stupid he must feel after that moment. The film should really be called 'Great Mistakes Robert Webb Can Make While Presenting a Great Mistakes Film Film'
In short, I thought Robert Webb and Great Movie Mistakes 2: The Sequal was a load of crap.
Ahh it's 1am. Still I write on...
I was going to write a bit about Antiques Road Show, a show my Grandparents are particularly fond of. I figure I'll only write a small piece as it is so late. Have you ever stopped to look around your household and think "Wow that could be valuable." or "That looks quite old, I wonder if any famous people may have created it." my Nan owns a big set of tea pots, all fine painted and crafted to a great design, it's definally old and probably worth something, the glass cabinat it comes in with its glossy gold design and wonderful looking clock centre piece on it is also probably worth a bit. Not that I'd want to sell it of course. I wonder a lot whether anything is worth something, and I also wonder are we ever going to run out of finding so many rare and valuble antiquties? Things are created all the time and years to come they'll eventually be worth something. Man I want to buy all the old gaming systems.
Well I think that's it for now, I'm 7 minutes outside of the time I wanted to finish at and I'm not even in my pajamas yet or brushed my teeth. Harsh thing is I really could do with a cup of tea. Ah wells. This didn't turn out to be the big amazing blog that I thought it would be, I expected a lot more talk and interesting stuff to say but I figure there are a lot of interesting stuff coming up, DNPD for one which I hope starts off with a bang. See you next time!

YOU DIDN'T POST THIS TO FACEBOOK YOU FOOL!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I've seen that show before, it irritates me how petty it is! Like you said along with his nit-picking gormless voice, as if his commentations have just single handedly humilated the film industy.
Ahhhh DNPD I be lookin forward to that! Sayin that I Shall head off soon/.
Ah, Robert Webb's really shit voice. I too have noticed that. I think he's the reason I don't like Peep Show.
