Toddled on to see this much awaited film courtesy of www.movies.ie (i fully reccomend you get your butt over there and register for all the movie goodness they have to offer!). I hope it just isn’t my warped sense of humour but i firmly believe if you are not hurting from laughter from the opening scenes in this film there really is something wrong with you!

The film is about a handful of actors (and their egos) are thrown into a battlefield / action film and they believe it’s purely acting but when people start blowing up and actors are getting ransomed the comedy of this film really turns up a notch.

The characters played by Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise make this film for me.

Ah dont read the script dammit, script reads me. .

Not gonna bother commenting on the whole use of the ‘R’ bomb in the particular scene. Obviously there are people who have their own individual reasons for not wanting to see the film, and that’s fine. To me the film surpassed all of what ended up being a small enough portion of the film.

I would reckon this film is one to watch in the cinema. I’ve never been in a screening where so many people laughed so hard and together at what was happening on screen.

I had always toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo along the way but the whole permanent thing just did never sit well with me. I don’t wanna be sitting there aged 60 with a ed norton style swastika that was on my chest swinging around my ankles but another reason is I would be completely afraid of this shit happening. Gettin some bone head idiot completely miss spelling what i wanted would be another primary reason i would give it a pass. I’ve seen too many of those ‘no no its the chinese symbol for free spirit’ when clearly it more like resembles egg fried rice down the local curry shop!

I wonder can you actually sue someone if they did this to you? I mean in all fairness you’d be there when it happened so you’d be as much of a bone head as them.

For a few more. .

tanning bed baby

Come on admit it, apart from the cute pudgy aspect, babies should really worry about their appearance more. Playschool can be vicious for a toddler if they don’t go in with the right approach and you certainly don’t want your baby being bullied by some other 18 month old chubbster…appearance is everything, or so they’d have you believe!

Are you tired of sympathetic compliments like these?

    “Your baby is sort of cute. Is it sick? Because it looks so sick and pale.”
    “I think that your baby should probably see a doctor.”
    “My God, its like your baby has no skin at all. I’m so sorry about your pale, hideous baby”

If it’s on t’internet…it must be true!

baby thrown clear

Ludwigshafen, Germany - If there weren’t pictures to prove it, people might have a hard time believing a loving father threw his child multiple stories to waiting rescuers below. This dangerous gamble was taken against an almost certain death in a smoke-filled burning building where, in the end, nine other people perished. The baby, however, survived. Rescuers managed to catch and save the baby from below.

What people fail to realise is that the baby wasn’t being thrown clear at all. In fact this photo clearly shows that the fire emergency services were trying to throw the baby back into the smoking building. Only in Germany.
