  As if you needed any more reasons to hate / mock Nickelback, take a listen to this: urlLink Right-click on Chad's mug and save the file, listen to it, laugh/cringe/get bored, and then delete it right away*. __________________________________ Finally got around to watching Big Fish after buying it from a dodgy bloke in Seoul.
I put it in last week, but got pissed off when it skipped every 5 seconds. Gave it another chance though, and the skipping stopped after 10 minutes. Bitchin'. Short review: Forrest Gump - retarded guy + terrific bullshitter = Big Fish. The cast (Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney , Billy Crudup, Steve Buscemi, Danny Devito, Helena Bonham-Carter) is pretty damn good too. __________________________________ Still on movies, Kill Bill Vol. 2 is either fucking amazing or really dull, according to urlLink Rotten Tomatoes : "Simply one of the best films, period. " -- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE "A powerhouse movie. " -- John Anderson, NEWSDAY "A film richer in every way than its illustrious, callow predecessor. " -- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE "A rip-roaring, highly entertaining, extremely enjoyable continuation to Vol. 1. " -- Paul Clinton, CNN "Kill Bill, Vol. 2 is every bit as wild a joyride as its prelude, but packed with richer, more resonant characters.
" -- Colin Covert, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE or.... "When not being a colossal bore, Tarantino takes pleasure in offending our moral sensibilities with his adoring portrait of a natural born killer with a thirst for revenge. " -- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH "Vol. 2 slowly wears out its welcome with its empty oratory. " -- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR ""Kill Bill: Volume 2" commits the ultimate crime of being boring.
What could have been one of the best action films of all time turns into a mediocre, frustrating film. " -- Michelle Alexandria, ECLIPSE MAGAZINE "An over-long exercise in resolution, denouement and style. " -- Mike DeWolfe, APOLLO GUIDE I bet those who thought it was dull were the same people who panned Jackie Brown , which I thought was great. Can't wait for this to come out. This, and Harry Potter 3. And Hellboy. And Van Helsing.
__________________________________ Arsehole of the day - ex-gf's fiance. OK, so her parents have paid for: a new apartment, a new car for him, furniture, and the wedding ceremony. They're also buying him a laptop (Koreans also exchange rings, but since he's a doctor and can't wear his ring at work, he figured he'd get more use out of a laptop). He's paid for: the honeymoon. But wait! Yesterday he had a change of heart, called ex-gf and said that she would have to pay her half of the honeymoon. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because Koreans also buy clothes for each other when they get married (wtf don't they buy), and womens clothes are more expensive than mens. Now, it had always been agreed that this honeymoon (5 day trip to Paris / Switzerland - cost: about 1200 pounds per person) would be paid for by him, and as such her and her parents had not budgeted for this extra expense.
Bottom line is... she'll have to take a loan out / borrow money from someone to go on her honeymoon. She turned up at my place in tears yesterday. She'll be marrying this absolute fuckwit in 6 days' time. I'll be there, taking pictures / superimposing his head on gay porn and distributing it throughout the Gwangju medical world. *for the lazy, the mp3 is two Nickelback songs being played at the same time. I thought only Britney Spears and the Vengaboys could get away with crap like this.
