This morning on my drive into work I got stuck behind this moron who was refusing to take over a cyclist. He had plenty of time to take over this cyclist, but I can only reason that, because he wanted to turn left, he didn't think he would have enough time to do so. I, on the other hand, could clearly see that he had time in abundance to pull off such a maneuver. Then the cyclist stuck his arm out to indicate he was turning left as well, so I got myself over the other side of the road and proceeded to take over the dawdler. As I was over taking I glanced over to get a look at the numpty &, as chance would have it, he also looked over. So I gave a very disapproving shake of my head at him and went on my way. The best was when a little way down the road he beeped me, it must have taken a few seconds for my disapproving head shake to sink in & irritate him & he reacted with a beep of his hooter. As soon as I heard this I knew I had got to him and began to smile. Even typing this now, and recalling the incident, makes me laugh.
This is the list of films that I've watched from 17th August to 16th September; a one one month slot for this little lot:
The Watchmen
Knowing
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
What Doesn't Kill You
Moola
Preminition
The Hangover
I love You, Man
The Haunting In Connecticut
The Damned United
Bronson
Bruno
Angels & Demons
The Last House on the Left
In the Loop
The Devil's Advocate
Fifty Dead Men Walking
Outlander
The Hurt Locker
Terminator Salvation
The Uninvited
District 9
Public Enemies
Ghost Town
Randy & the Mob
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Adventureland
I think I can safely say that Bronson is easily the most psychotic film of the bunch. Of all of them Moola was the biggest struggle, just because it was so poor. On the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed District 9, probably the pick of the lot; followed by Bruno & Fifty Dead Men Walking. Randy & the Mob was a strange one, I nearly turned it off after the first half hour but then this really funny character came into it and I have to say I found it highly entertaining from there on in. The Devil's Advocate is the only one that I watched on TV, it was on BBC3 and I hadn't seen it for ages so gave it a viewing. Ghost Town was the only other film that I had seen before, but I hadn't seen it since viewing it in the cinema & wanted to watch it again. I think probably the most mental act contained in all of these films is to be found in the last scene of The Last House on the Left, where a live man's head in put in a microwave. Knowing was excellent until the ending, which was a bit daft, but it had a superb train crash, so it gets a let off for that.
I should point out that the films are roughly listed in the order I watched them in, from the 17th August. Thus Adventureland was watched last night. I found this film to be a little soppy, I was expecting far more comedy, and I therefore say it was average. I won't be watching it again in a hurry, let's put it that way.
