Oh, and my elbow is stuffed. Ouchie.

So this morning a bomb blast in the Phillipines kills at least 19 people, tragically some of them were white. I don’t usually post about this sort of thing, but at this stage it’s been attributed to a group called Moro Islamic Liberation Front or MILF… Now, in trying to find out more about these scumbags, I found… What?

Right, so obviously these are groups of people trying to expose these fuckheads, providing information about their war on terrorism?.. Something like that, yeah? Nup.

Apparently today is kick Morgan’s arse Tuesday… So get in quick and there might still be sometihng that hasn’t been smashed bashedo r thrown on the ground.

Oh, no, too late already. *cries and cradles elbow*

Such a pussy. Forgive me..

Went out to Bethells with young Dylan again yesterday, good fun… Took my new bodyboard and played with that a bit, and also did some bodysurfing… Clever Dylan managed to get himself stung by a bluebottle, was quite cool, left a trail of about 20 or so venom sacks stuck on his back. Pretty.

Later a quiet BBQ… Then off out to the Chinese Lantern Festival in Albert Park, that was pretty crowded, and good fun watching the fireworks, they opted for crazy-wall-of-light-and-noise-that-lasts-for-ages over the more popular gigantic-explosions-every-now-and-then, much better than last years occasional-fizzery-bang-in-the-sky.

All good fun.

Damn it’s hot today, big humidity. Nice though, even the momentary dash of rain was okay. Pity me, though, I’m going to be suffering through a wedding wearing a suit & tie later on… That’s going to be very sweaty, I’m expecting.

Also, being a trickerer on Valentines Day is fun. 🙂

After that, maybe something positive.

Movies I’m looking forward to this year:

1. The next Matrix movie…
2. Then the one after that…
3. Daredevil (featuring John Favreau as a guy with no super powers).
4. Some other movie I haven’t thought of, but every time I see the trailer I think ‘sweet’ like Solaris or maybe Nemesis, something like that, perhaps even the hulk.
5. Probably the last Lord of the Rings movie, but that’s way off in December, so it’s hard to be at all excited about it. Also, see the other days big rant.

Funny to hear that Peter Jackson has been snubbed for Best Director @ the Oscars…

He blew his image (which was as a kiwi battler) well and truly by being such a fucking whining wanker bully last year… Which, I’m sure, has nothing to do with the snubbing, but…

… The movies just aren’t that great.

Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of great moments in The Two Towers (and Fellowship, but who cares about old movies), the opening sequence with Gandalf & the Balrog, Gollum doing his multiple-personality stuff, the Ent that ran into shot to put it’s burning head out at Isengard.

Most awesome: Legolas pulling himself up onto the horse (with Gimli?) the wrong way around, that was just fucking awesome. Actually, pretty much everything he did was awesome, except stumbling when he was running, which seemed very un-Elf-y to me.

How can you take all this cool shit that happens, and lots of great scenes, and still miss the mark? Anyway, Hollywood obviously hates the little fucker, teach him for coming from Wellintown, won’t it?

You know one way he blew it?.. What the fuck did he think he was doing putting Liv Tyler (Arwen) in there?.. Nasty skank.

The whole ‘going from kiwi battler to fuckwit in no time at all’ trick is similar to what the Wood boys managed to do with ihug. Once you’ve done it, you can’t go back.

By the way, I know that Two Towers has been nominated for best picture, refuting most of my diatribe, but I’m sick of people wanking about how great the movies are, and this is probably one of my few opportunities to rant and yet be somewhat topical.

I’ve got a feeling I’m one of few people that feels this way, let me know how wide of the mark I am.

Heh, I’m a rambling ol’ drunkard even when I’m not drunk.

Thanks everyone (mum & Claire especially) for making yesterday so cool. 🙂
