Not HNT, not even HNMonday

I found out about HNT quite recently.

It reminded me of one of my favourite quotes from this film (incidentally the best film ever...)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261392/

Jay: What the fuck is the Internet?
Holden: The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.

Now HNT isn't porn. However the internet is a communication tool which you can use to get semi-naked in front of lots of people who don't know you in realspace. Cool, huh, especially if you are a bit of an exhibitionist.

"Soon to be departing these fair shores Evie" mentioned that I should do something with my back, seeing as how I was boasting about it the other week. Well, she totally called my bluff and whilst I spend the next year hauling my sorry ass down the gym to try and look like an extra in "300" I suggest you go have a look here in the meantime

Best film of all time ... ever

The best film of all time ever is.....


With '000s of quotable quotes, a great story and lots and lots of excitement, it's hard to beat.

"Hot as hell in here"
"Yeah man, but it's a dry heat!"

I will kill your monstah!

Beowulf. It's a bad film with Ray Winstone.

However not as bad as "Monster Ark" (which doesn't have Ray in it, just to be clear).


Much better films with Ray in are:

"Love, Honour & Obey"
"Scum"

& of course

"Sexy Beast" which completely changed the way I view Ben Kingsley.

Art and real life

Went to see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" last night. I thought it was a good film. One of the signs of a good film for me is that I am still thinking about it the next day.

It has me thinking about the impermanence of life, its ultimate futility and the challenges associated with knowing this and still trying to live a life that is full of meaning (however you might judge that).

As an aside, I bumped into 3 groups of people I know as everyone was leaving the cinema. HK is a small place, but I think we all know that.
