I left it though, told people about the song and omitted the god-bothering stance they had, thankfully most people don't even understand that Maccabees itself is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccabees" target="_blank">biblical reference</a>. However (as anyone who followed the link to their page will now know) the story of Jesus bringing them all together has since vanished ... speaks volumes. Good tunes and looks aside...

I have to admit I liked it when they gave him the black costume (in the comics) but I also liked it when they reverted to the blue and red, have to say though I'm <a href="http://books.monstersandcritics.com/news/article_1093393.php/Spider-Man_has_become_a_new_man_with_a_new_costume" target="_blank">pretty glad</a> I'm not still reading comics. Maybe in one of the 'proposed' further 6 movies they'll do a cross over to the Iron man movie(s) much in the way they are introducing the Silver Surfer in the next Fantastic Four movie ready for his own feature. Maybe. Hopefully not though.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">Speaking of the Fantastic Four any geek worth his weight in trading cards has already seen the <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2006-11-29-fantasticar_x.htm" target="_blank">fantasticar</a>... snigger.

Better quality version of the trailer <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/picturehouse/panslabyrinth/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">Next I have a couple of film-related articles which I never got round to posting at the time they were current.

It doesn't really matter what it's about it's Neil fucken Gaiman man.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">Finally someone should really consider severely maiming Nicholas Cage, he's only good playing stoopid so if he were truly retarded we'd all be a lot better off, I say this not because he's playing Ghost Rider I'll reserve judgement on that and I'm not precious on the character anyways, but to remake the Wickerman as badly as he did he should have been SHOT until he was dead of it. Again that is not why I want him taken out; <a href="http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2006/11/15/2364982.html" target="_blank">this article</a> talks about how he want's to play another hero of some sort, who cares right?

I should be expecting my i-pod shortly in the post... oh by the way the last offer I took up was with Gala bingo (U.K.) and they match your initial bet up to £10 - I won £200 so if yer feeling lucky (and the offer is still there) try that link.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">So there you go begging for a free i-pod, I feel strangely dirty and hopeful, or is that because it's Saturday?</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">I don't think I have anything else for this post except... did anyone see these: <a href="http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HS85772C" target="_blank">ohmigod</a> I am <a href="http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?prod=1&ts=2006061901&number=HS87046#LargeImage" target="_blank">too excited</a>, somebody slap me.</p>Whoozeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558533018750975367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11668985.post-1150739170204224342006-06-19T17:42:00.000+00:002006-06-19T18:03:42.443+00:00Something to make you smile<div class="flickr-frame"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15556440@N00/170618453/"><img class="flickr-photo" height="272" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/75/170618453_1159c1305c.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /></div><p class="flickr-yourcomment">Well hopefully anyways.... first up has to be the photo, it <a href="http://monkeysaurus.net/321/moore-goode-dick.htm">happened</a> months ago but I've been so busy and lazy by varying degrees that it's only happening now for me...

Not only are <a href="http://www.cazals.co.uk/music.html">Cazals</a> pretty decent but they have a nicely designed website; all funeral parlour Victoriana. Another band with a really pretty website are the <a href="http://www.goodshoes.co.uk/">Good Shoes</a> but it is also worth popping along to their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/goodshoes">My Space</a> page and check out the video for we are not the same <a href="http://media2.7digital.com/motion/Good_Shoes_We_Are_Not_The_Same_Med.mov">here</a>, sweet lil indie boys (link courtesy of <a href="http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/downloads/we-are-not-the-same-good-shoes/">the beat surrender</a>)</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">To 50's obsessives <a href="http://www.thepipettes.co.uk/">The Pipettes</a> love the look love the <a href="http://static.memphis-industries.com/yourkissesarewastedonme.mov">sound</a>, can't help but think of Sarah Blackwood from <a href="http://www.dubstar.org.uk/">Dubstar</a> (remember them?) when I hear the blonde do her bit, apart from the nose job she would have needed and the fact that she is now in <a href="http://www.client-online.net/">Client</a>, I'm pretty sure it's not her.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">Another band with the .tk suffix are the <a href="http://www.theholloways.tk/">Holloways</a> and they are <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theholloways">fantastic</a>.

Wigwam for anyone who doesn't yet know are 80's pop icon Betty Boo with Bassist from Blur; Alex James and what the hee-haw it's kinda fun. I like the nonsensical bits in the middle where she makes mad cat-like noises and the video is funny if slightly reckless; encouraging violence against policemen, like they haven't got enough of that already >snigger<</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">So this year is already lining up to be a goodie first this fezzie and so far I've got tickets for the O2 festival on the night with Bauhaus, Goldfrapp and Depeche Mode; tickets to see the Knife at la Scala and Radiohead at the Hammersmith Apollo... nice...
