Hellboy, Death Races and Big Brother

Whoo hoo!

Big Brother is over for another year!

Who won it? I dunno some Rachel person I think, but to be honest I couldn't give a rats ass.

Every year we have to put up with this shit even though it's becoming more racist and mind blowingly bad every season. This is, what, the 8th or 9th Big Brother? Yet it still won't die like a certain yellow family in America.

But who do we blame for it still being on the air? The Producers who realised that it's cheap yet makes them millions? You the audience who watches every moment just to see who shags who first?

No.

I blame it on one of the original contestants 'Nasty' Nick Bateman.

If he hadn't cheated then I like everyone else wouldn't have watched him getting caught by the other housemates at cheating and then getting thrown out and subsequently watching the rest of the series until the end!

If he hadn't cheated then Big Brother would have just been a failed blip of a TV show that people would look fondly back at and wish they would bring it back even though it never would.

But he did and they got huge publicity and now it's still on the air.

Shame on you Nasty Nick! Shame on you!

Anyway on Wensday I went to see the Movie Hellboy 2 with my Counterpart Ben. Had a bit of an incident with me panicing after losing my phone and looking around the lobby using bens phone to ring it only to return to my seat and finding out from Ben that it had simply fallen out of my pocket and fallen down the back of the deat. Oh was my face red. =P

I've gotta say I didn't have high hopes for Hellboy 2 but I came out with a smile on my face. It was far far better than the first film and the designs of the monsters were great. I was glad they got rid of the John Myers character from the first film. I wasn't really a fan of that character, but I must say that I really loved the new character that they introduced with the 'Gas in a suit' man Johann Kraus . His character was a real breath of fresh air and very funny. I was really suprised to discover that he had been voiced by Seth McFarlene of Family Guy fame! I didn't recognise his voice at all!

I also got to see another film for free the same day!

Well I say film, it was actually the trailer for Death Race but it saves me having to see the movie anyway because like all movie trailers these days it GIVES AWAY EVERYTHING IN THE FUCKING TRAILER!!!

What happened to the days where they made you guessing the plot? Sure they might show you short clips of end scenes but they didn't tell you EXACTLY what happens!

The Trailer for Death Race however does! It tells you why the main character is in Jail (set up to make it look like he killed his wife) forced to race in a death race with prisioners to win his freedom and are viewed via the web around the world. It's revealed that he was once a top racers and THEN it shows the person who really killed his wife THEN it showes that he really was set up to go to prision just to race. So there we go, there's the plot twist over, and just like all other films he will no doubt surpass the odds to beat the death race, kill his wife's real killer then kill everyone else who put him in, take down the tv show... and then escape to freedom.

The End.

'Man what a weak plot' I thought but then I saw it was written and directed, written AND produced by Paul W. S. (I ruin every movie I base on a computer game) Anderson and it all made sense.

That man should Not be allowed to write or direct!
