Can you smell what The Rock(tm) has stood in?
Well I was ready to leave after 20 minutes or so, but Buz was determined to sit out the entire miserable spectacle until its sorry end.
"My name is Alf and this evening I saw "Doom - the movie"."
"Hi Alf, you're with friends now."
What a waste of money. Last time I looked there still are people in this world who are starving, ill and in pain. The money shat upon this dismal excuse for 100-minutes worth of "entertainment" would have helped a lot of people. As it is, having bought two tickets for this shambles, another thirteen quid has gone towards the production of yet more mindless, worthless junk, quite probably known as "Doom 2".
I am not a fan of the "Doom" or "Quake" games. I can't play them like Buz (or that socially inadequate, fat, greasy, unwashed gamer sub-section of society with no ability to communicate outside of IRC channels). There were a goodly number of those at the showing too. The leader (I assume that's who he was, he was the fattest and loudest after all) spent his time commenting on the adverts for the just-released-today XBOX 360: "It's better than the Playstation". No shit, Einstein. Although if I was to compare your brain to my "classic computer" the ZX81, I think we'd swing towards the 1K home computer from 1981, fuckwit. (He did shut up when the Mars bar advert came on the screen though, I expect he was fantasizing about the selection of King Size bars he's got stashed in a drawer at home near his cans of pop).
Shit, sorry, back to the games. Hmm. No, don't like 'em and can't play 'em, however I can sit and happily watch Buz play through a couple of levels cos he's good at it. And I like to see people who are good at stuff demonstrate their skills. But this... this... Gnnnnh. My retinas need disinfecting.
The best things about going to the cinema this evening:
1. There was a trailer for "Underworld: Evolution" featuring the lovely brunette-in-skintight-leathers Kate Beckinsale back as the vampire Selene.
2. There was an Orange advert featuring John Cleese.
3. The curry afterwards.
The plan was to get a picture of Buz lookin' "well 'ard" stood next to the "Doom" poster outside the cinema, but we left in a hurry so people didn't notice we'd been to see it. So no pictures this time. Maybe next time. If you're lucky.
Time for bed. Have got to be up for 6:15am... what a frickin' idiot...
