Movies

It takes something to be voted the best movie star of all time AND most irritating actor. Not sure about either but he is definitely one of the biggest names in Hollywood and not one of his movies have ever ended up in the red. he was good in Magnolia though but that was probably just great directing by Paul Thomas Anderson (who wasnt even 30 when he filmed it)

Confession: I have never been able to watch any Stanley Kubrick movie to the end.

Rage

You know if given a choice, and the alternative was having a 4 hour delay coz of one idiot, Id rather have him shoved into one of those little carts that the trolley dollys push around while they are trying to sell you overpriced tie clips and little model aircraft.

Either that or pack him up with the cargo. Do you know that some of the larger aircraft have a capsule size elevator within them to bring ppl down to the cargo hold and staff sleeping quarters?

Genius

It's been a while since I've seen such a bad idea.

Cant even begin to think of the things that could go wrong.

This on the other hand, SEEMS like a brilliant idea except for one thing. The people most likely to want to sneak beer into a function probably already have a NATURAL beer belly. What are they going to do then?

Facts

thanks for the link to Suresh, my worthy pub quiz opponent. (King Lear is set in Denmark I tell you!). More trivia for you.

Incidently, if No78 is true and I am on a a first name basis with at least 100 ppl, then at least 5 of my immediate acquaintences have something to show me the next time I see them.

Hair

I wasnt going to post this photo coz its a bit gross but when I read through his comment, I couldnt resist. Well I suppose at least he is an optimist.

And I quote;

"God has been very kind to me."

Table

In case any of you are decorating and are looking for suggestions on a dining table. Seats 5 uncomfortably.

Vodka

I fancy this kinda defeats the purpose. I mean why else would you drink except to relieve yourself of sobriety?

Anyways in Russia, where the Vodka consumes you, they obviously take their drinking very seriously. This one is for the Grey Goose fan who used to line her stomach with a tablespoon of butter before a drinking session.

Osama

One of the weirdest articles Ive seen in a while. Pictures of Osama bin Ladens' niece posing half naked. So she is using the "fame" of her uncle to gain publicity. Paris Hilton must be her hero

2005

Pictures of the year. Warning some of them relating to the tragedies and disasters are a bit traumatic

Handstand

What arse luck, your sitting down chatting with your friends and some idiot from the second floor uses u to break their fall. Of if only that girl was 1 meter to the left I would be able to put the guy up for a Darwin Award.

xmas

ok there are a few things I dont like about Christmas time.

1. is how ppl call it xmas. whats up with that?
2. xmas carols repeated over and over again ad nauseam through every PA system
3. how Christmas has become a completely commercial holiday under the guise of a religious event.

For example this whole thing about a christmas tree. There is no concept of Pine trees in this religion and yet that is the first image that springs to mind when talking about Christmas (and dont even get me started about the "white christmas" thing)

ok enough of that, im off to buy myself a xmas present :)

cute overload website in the link as a reward for reading though my rant.

Honda

I guess this ad is a follow up to the domino chain ad for the Accord that was all over the internet last year or so. quite kewl and although I drive an Italian, have to say that Honda make fantastic cars.

Also if you have the time and a fast enough connection, check out this short film. I'm guessing its a social commentary about apartheid but this seems to be an overly simplistic view since Neil Blomkamp could actually be reversing the roles as a commentary on affimative action. powerful stuff

Let it load in the background and its definitely worth the 20mins it took me to get the whole file.

Cats

ok I want you to click on this link and have a look at the criminal in the photo. Real Bad-Ass ya?

Now try to imagine him sitting around with all the other inmates explaining to them how he was caught and put into jail by 3 (three!) housecats named Tigger, Thomas and Max.

Warning, multiple cat cliches in the article although not one comment about incriminating pussy hairs. (sorry i couldnt resist)

Lokap

Never knew that Malaysians had such a daring sense of humour :)

Mobs

I believe this just happened over the weekend in Sydney with co-ordinated groups of ppl attacking others based on their skin color.

Somehow if you have enough people in a group who think roughly the same way, the self-reassurance of grouping with like minded people tricks them into beliving that any actions of the individuals of the group are endorsed by all the others. It then follows that the the norms of society no long apply to them as they have the anonymity of the crowd and the implicit approval of each other as they carry out their acts.

It explains why when enough people gather below a potential suicide jumper, eventually the crowd will start chanting "jump"

There is a branch of psychology dedicated to mob mentality. I have read that it links back to the time when we were herd animals and had to perform collective actions in groups for the sake of ourspecies.

Frankly, I think explanations like that are just insulting to other animals.

Kong

I have read that the Peter Jackson decided to be a director after watching King Kong, and his version is a homage to his inspiration.

Anyways, have a look at this list and you will realise that it definitely takes more than a big budget to make a good movie. Most of the top 10 most expensive movies ever made suck big time!

99p

I havent decided if this is genius or just plain silly

Ajinomoto

Just incase anyone wants to read a 2000word article on MSG

I dedicate this post to anyone who has ever poured tomato sauce into their instant noodles (I know you are out there!)

Gates

Ok Im often going on about Micro$oft and their evil overlord, but the fact remains that as an individual, Bill Gates has dontated more to charity than any person ever.

He has been on public record as saying he intends to put aside USD300m for each of his kids and all his remaining wealth will be donated to charity. In particular he pays particular focus to third world development and erradication of preventable diseases.

Maybe my next phone will run Windows Mobile after all.

Lost

The next episode will only be shown Jan 11th so here are some glamour photos of 2 of the stars to keep you going until then.

Prediction

Two years ago, I heard a very bold prediction, that Renault would win the World F1 constructors championship within 3 years. Even no less than Jeremy Clarkson struggled to believe at the time.

Loyal visitors (yes both of you!) will remember the time when I stood out on a limb and predicted Nick and Jessica's divorce.

For my latest entry in the time capsule, I have read that within 10 years time, Google will be more relavant and pervasive than Microsoft. Bolder words are rarely spoken.

Razor

oh man the guy on in this picture looks like he is having way too much fun for doing something so gross. Personally my back is like something out of a horror movie but since I never have to (or can) actually look at it myself Im not too bothered.

10 points to anyone who dares to click on the video demonstration.

ABBA

ok im dating myself (cue to the jokes here) but just thought I would inform my friends that NO, there will NOT be an ABBA reunion tour that they could attend. What is not mentioned in the article is that the idea was mooted about 3 years ago and that the whole tour would bring in the 4 members of ABBA in excess of, wait for it, . . .

ONE BILLION DOLLARS (USD)



they must really hate each other guts to turn down USD250m each

LBA

Just incase you thought this blog was getting too guy-centric, I present to you the website of Lip Balm Anonymous. Having said that, the only person I know who actually has this problem is a guy. Dont deny it man "The First Step Towards Solving the Problem is Admitting You Have One!"

With a choice quote;

"I don't think there's any coincidence that as tobacco declined, lip balm usage picked up"


Now if only I could find the link for the Compulsive Hand Cream Addicts. . . .

75

This is a picture of 75 rock bands. Sounds confusing but you will understand once you click on it. Blow it up real big and see how many you can get.

To get you started....on the bottom left hand corner is a cart which has 3 bouquets of Guns and Roses.
