It has come to my attention that the eighth post was a little on the 'grumpy' side. I re-read it, and I concur - it was a little irritable and ever so slightly self-loathing. Well, that was the mood I was in, dammit! I have now recovered from the spatula incident and my life is restored to normalised levels of introspection. Lessons learned and all that.
Although I do have to note that smaller and smaller things in life are really starting to bug me, to the point that I am worried that my distaste will reach such a microscopic level that I won't be able to step out of my front door without noticing some new fluctuation on my irritability-meter, like the fact the neighbour has a new Audio A1 in white - I mean - seriously? And the fact he spent half an hour reading the manual before taking it out for a drive. Jesus Christ buddy, its not a bloody washing machine, despite the ridiculous colour. Also, why is every man in Soho wearing those 'preppy' style, skinny, rolled up shorts? It's like Abercrombie and Fitch have dropped a fashion bomb on the entire place. Fat men - these DO NOT suit you people. Even thin men look like they're trying to be teenage boys and failing miserably, but at least they're skinny. Whilst we're on the subject, I can't stand people who write what they are actually doing out of the office on their out of office automated responses. 'I am out of the office on a shoot'. Who cares? 'I am out of the office on holiday in the Pyrenees.' Who cares? 'I am out of the office returning on...' will suffice thank you narcissistic morons - who cares what you are doing on your out of the office day? Just give me someone else I can email with my complaint.
All that aside - I am really enjoying 'Top of the Lake' on BBC2, wow that rocks. And lets be honest here - 'Furious 6' (to give it its correct title) was awesome, easily the best film of the year (in the Hollywood Summer Blockbuster category anyway, I'm not that shallow). Don't even argue that it was 'Man of Steel' which was bobbins, or Iron Man 3, which was perfectly fine but not as good, or Star Trek 2, which was despicable. At least now the good and generous people of the interweb have someone else to hate now other than George Lucas. Way to go JJ.
This is not a film blog. Repeat ad nauseam Nev: 'This is not a film blog.' etc.
