Hmm, nothing very exciting to blog about. Yesterday I was running a Kids Club at church again in the morning, then I hung around with some friends, we even took an exciting trip to see Will's work in the pathology lab, 'cos he had to turn the machines back on as there'd been a power cut. Then we watched a film it was
The One and starred Jet Li. He was the good guy and the bad guy in a film about alternate universes. This bad version of himself was going to every universe and killing each other version of himself, each time the life force in the dead version got split between the remaining ones letting him get stronger, faster and smarter. He goes to the last universe to kill the last version of him, a cop. Sounds great doesn't it? It was just as good as it sounds! I mean, this film ranks up there with such greats as
Timecop incidentally did you know there's a sequel in production?
Timecop 2 I only discovered 'cos I was looking at the IMDB for Timecop. The sequel doesn't seem to have Jean Claude Van Damme in it though, how sad? Back to
The One, I'm being all critical and yes it was a film that didn't require your brain to be switched on, but it was quite entertaining. Certainly better than the kids film that we somehow ended up on after this one finished. That was
The Three Ninjas Kick Back, a truely appalling film, I know, it's for kids, but still, you'd think they could at least have some sort of plot and how annoying was the smallest kid? We found the fight scenes interesting, they didn't even bother trying to make it look like it was the actors fighting, the old grey haired guy (Mr Myagi's friend) suddenly got dark black hair when he fought and I think his clothes changed too. We didn't really even see how he suddenly saw the error of his ways and stopped being evil either, it just happened, like oh, yes kids, you're right I was so wrong, I'll be good now. I don't know why we kept watching, it was one of those just not changing the channel or turning it off things. After that we went to the pub for someone's birthday, it was incredibly hot in the pub, I don't know why. Overall I had quite a good day.
Helen has been talking about me again, so I thought I'd better reply, she said:
Oh, Ali thinks I was mean by saying the things about her that I did the other day. The musical taste things. She says she likes Blur. Well, three songs by them. (ONLY THREE?!) And she says she likes The Gorillaz. She'll only have heard the single versions, mind you. I don't think she'd like the album ones. I told her as much.
I didn't say I liked Blur, I just said that I do like some Blur songs, that I don't necessarily hate them, I wouldn't go as far as to say I liked Blur. I think I thought you were mean because you were assuming I won't like certain music when I haven't actually heard it. I might. I mean, admittedly you're usually right, but it's possible that I wouldn't hate something. However, it's entirely possible that I didn't really think you were being mean at all and was just whinging for the sake of it. Yes, I'm an annoying whingebum.
