Is it tautou late to change my mind?

I think I was probably a little harsh on The Da Vinci code in my review to be honest with you now.
Thinking about it, I did really enjoy it, and it is an excellent story which does transpose onto the cinema screen pretty comfortably, and the actors in the movie are all great.
I think I was so harsh because it wasn't as good as I felt it should have been, if you get what I mean. But it is still a good film.
I'm going to go back this week and watch it again now I know what to expect, so I can make a fair judgment without having the massive expectations I had the first time around.
I think you could compare it to your first sexual episode really, you spend ages waiting for it and when it actually comes (excuse the pun) and goes you feel somewhat disappointed. Never the less, it improves with each subsequent time you do it.
Well that's what I reckon anyway.
Plus I have fell in love with Audrey Tautou, and it is going to take a hell of a long time to get over this one. She's just so damn beautiful.

The way Britain should be

I'm currently "bumming", as the popular expression goes, Dunhill. No not the ciggies you fools, the classy clothing brand.
Their spring/summer clobber is soooo good it hurts. Cricket inspired jumpers and bags alongside good old racing jackets and driving gloves straight out of a 1965 movie. All mished up with fine suits and shirts. Its exactly how a British bloke should be dressed, in fact, its how every British bloke should dress. None of these crappy and gimmicky fashions that keep floating about, (yellow tee shirts come to mind). The guys at Dunhill no what works and stick to it, thank God. And to add another string to their bow they've got my most favouritest man on the planet to be their model: Jude Law. Sadly he only features in their Asian marketing campaign.

Hairy issue

I have onced again reached that crucial and excruciating point in my life where i begin to ponder my next hair style. Now normally I would just reach for the nearest picture of David Beckham and take it to my nearest hairdresser. However, I feel it is time for me to grow up so to speak and get a real hair style instead of the sonic the hedgehog do i am currently sporting.
I have covered nearly every hair style pheasible over the past years, right from thug lovin crew cut all the way through to floppy Hugh Grant locks. I feel a change is now neccesary.
So I have taken the liberty of picking out 2 of my most favouritest hairstyles, both of which belong to very sexy actors, and would like you good people (meaning Garruff), to decide which one and to help me stick to avoiding hairdressers like the plague.
I have chosen Garruff as my mentor because he has done a damn good job of growing his hair and so I would appreciate a few pointers....

So dark the con of man

As you are probably aware, the Da Vinci code movie comes out in a little over two weeks. I'm going to be frank (no not that shit druggy chat line), and tell you to go watch it.
What do you mean: "why should I?"
You really need me to tell you?
Well OK I will anyway. Because it's kick ass. The book is fuckin thrill a minute fantabulous, so if the film is half as good it will be worth a watch. And by the looks of the trailer they have stayed faithful to the book. Best of all, they've got Tom Hanks playing the lead character, who is called Robert Langdon. He's a slightly geekified Indianna Jones. Audrey Tautou is playing Sophie Neveu, Rob's love interest plus she is pretty hot for a French bird. Plus a host of other cool actors like Sir Ian Mckellen and Jean Reno and Paul Bettany.
Its gonna be fuckin ace. I ain't been this excited about a film since, well since never basically.

WARNING: If you are a devout Catholic or quite religious then I'm sure the film will only make you want to rant about something so I recommend you give it a miss.

Mosquito bites

As you may have picked up on from previous posts I have become quite fond of the classy US sitcom (Sky digital spiel) Will & Grace. So much so that my day revolves around it. I wake in the morning to catch it on channel 4, then I go to sleep. Then I catch it on the afternoon on living. Then I go to sleep. Then I watch it on the night on living. Then I go to sleep. You get the idea.
I seem to have this uncanny nack of liking a show just as its in its final series, same happened with Friends.
Well anyway, the point of this exercise is to encourage you good non-student folk who can afford statelite television to watch the damn show, tis great.
You have Will, who is so funny, and so gay. And Grace, who despite being a red head and her bosom, or lack of it, is rather fit. And a whole host of other characters who are sure to make you laugh.
Adios

Things that go bump in the night

After reading another of Garruff's t'rific posts about dreams, it got me thinking about my own strange dreams I've been having of late.
Basically they have all been nightmares, and I have no idea why. I haven't been eating chocolate or cheese before bed, and I always brush my teeth. Yet the dreams keep on coming. I mean I'm not complaining, they are far more entertaining and bizzarre than any other dreams I've ever had but it's still a tad strange.
The best yet involved me wearing some kind of, well what could only be described as tin foil, arranged like a some kind of armour, running through a city wielding a large sword and decapitating anything that moved. I'm going to ignore the phallic and sexual undertones of the sword and decapitating people but what the fuck is the tin foil all about? I mean that scared me more than the zombie/retards who I was slaying.
I've had many others involving ghosts in the attic above my bedroom, which are kind of spooky.
Well if there are any dream experts out there I would be interested to hear your interpretations.

Pinched

I'm going to come straight out and say I stole this from my old mate Garruff, he lives in Wales you know, and he has this amazing love:hate thing where he updates folks on, well what he loves and hates, obviously. Quite why, nobody really knows. But hey, I'm going to steal the idea as I didn't see any trademarks.

So, Love:
I love at the moment: McDonald's ham & cheese toastie (only 99p and delicious), Tweed blazers (for no apparent reason, there just kick ass), Will & Grace, The Da Vinci Code trailers (TOm Hanks as Langdon is a masterstroke, plus its directed by Ron Howard), shoes (my collection is steadily growing and will be boosted by the arrival of some black Chelsea Boots and some brown monk straps this coming weekend, computers (I actually know most of what the fiddly bits inside are called now) and of course myself.

I currently hate: the fact that we will probably have a shit summer, the fact that I am nearly out of money and thus cannot add to my shoe collection, the fact that I am totally going to love the Da Vinci code and so will want to keep going to watch it but have no one to go with and cannot possibly go alone after the last time...

Well that was informative wasn't it children?!

Guess who's back?

And so it is, after a 3 month hiatus, I have come crawling back to my good ol' blog. Don't really know why I haven't been on here for so long though, guess its just like when you say to an old school mate: "oh yeah don't worry, we'll keep in touch". And you never do of course.
Anyway, lets get the formalities out the way: I'll give you the low down on whats happened to me over the last 3 months.
Well, basically, I have left college, I have set up a computer company for no apparent reason, I still have no girlfriend, I have developed a penchant for Will & Grace, I discovered a cure for cancer while sitting on a beach in St Tropez but forgot to right it down and so immediately forgot what it was, I have started reading books, I shaved off pretty much all my body hair, except my legs, and regretted it straight away (for those of you interested, it has all grown back now), and well that's it really. Such is my life.
Expect an influx of posts as I'm quite like Grant Mitchell (with hair of course (and I wouldn't shag Beale's missus)), I disappear frequently for no apparent reason but return with full force much to the delight of the nation.
