Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Much, much less than meets the eye

I was going to review Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Honest, I was. After all, I’d already covered the original cartoon television show as well as Transformers Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, so the new movie was a done deal, right?

But then I read this review over at io9 (Michael Bay Finally Made An Art [...]

Rove

So… watching Rove last night (international visitors, please replace the name ‘Rove’ (yes, name! Weird, huh? Us Aussies, we so nutty!!) with the name of your talk show host of choice) and Bruno was on, promoting his movie. And, as expected, Bruno was outrageous and shocking and the like. He peered down Rove’s pants, claimed [...]

Blogwatch

At 2MB Community Radio, Heather Mills is the subject of much courtroom mirth and Dr Ioan Gruffudd has timely literary and hygienic advice for Brooke Burke and her listeners. Meanwhile, at Drinks Break, the Australians are being urged to discard their very identity! Except for Cryin’ Shane Watson, who is injured again. And whatsername? She’s [...]

RIP Michael Jackson

And by ‘RIP’, I obviously mean ‘don’t return as a zombie’. Because that would be uncool. Or, on further reflection, incredibly cool indeed.

Because my site’s so old and obsessed with 80s pop culture, I’ve obviously commented on Senor Jackson and his antics before. Here’s my decade-old review of Thriller and a slightly later review of [...]

Heh. I’m assuming, strange visitor from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, that you’re looking for my friend Morgan’s blog. She’s my Heroes recapper of choice and renowned fan of Skulky The Turtle Wonder.

What Do You Want From Me? Blood??

I’ve been donating blood for a few years now (purely for the prestige and free Band-Aids™) so when the corporate bigwigs at the Red Cross offered me the opportunity to start donating plasma, I literally leapt at it (startling everybody, let me tell you). Because, heck, it’s one thing to supply my precious O Positive [...]

The Chinese Restaurant

Mmmm, I love dumplings. Took the missus out for dinner at a local Chinese restaurant the other night (‘Wok You Lookin’ At?’) and on the way there we saw about half a dozen newly hatched ones crossing the road behind their mother dumple. Frickin’ adorable.

Fun With Keywords – Special Slightly Delayed ‘Crown’s Mine, Bitch’ Edition

Oops! Sayid

As the heading would suggest, this week’s keyword fun is delayed for reasons that need not be explored outside the state judicial system. But, delay notwithstanding, here are the keywords the beautiful people employed in tracking down the site this week:

ana lucia trigger happy

The late Shannon Rutherford no doubt thinks so, yes.

Hmmm… you may be [...]

How I’ve Been Taught

Apologies for this thought. Y’all know I’m not usually one for spruiking empty tautologies. But, heck, sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

Blogwatch!

At 2MB Community Radio, it’s game show mania! Over at Drinks Break, the Australian cricket team settle into Leicester. And whatserface is living in a dream world again.
