Convergence

A lager advert on the TV has Violent Femmes as a sound-track, which made me pop onto iTunes and grab it, as it made me think about Grosse Point Blank, one of my 20 favourite films (come on! "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork, how have you been?" Lines don't get much better). Riding back from Inverness today and the same tune came on my iPod, I think "must watch that film again soon" and lo and behold, right now on UKTV Gold, it's Grosse Point Blank.
*edit to add* just seen one of my favourite scenes on film. As a single guy I have a certain image to maintain as a climbing, boarding, kayaking, martial arts blokey bloke but the bit in the film with Robbie (at the reunion with Under Pressure in the background), it's just fantastic. If you've seen the film you'll know it. Just gets to me, you know. ;D */edit*
Score!
Tis a good day.

Also managed to get a few pictures of Scotland today as well, this is one of the better ones.

You know, I'm really lucky to live up here. I was faced with the dilemma of do I go snow-boarding, to the cinema, walking on the beach or walking on a snow covered mountain on my day off. Woosed out, went to the cinema, saw 21, not bad. Grosse Point Blank's better though. Mountains later, wine now.

Adverts part deux

It's been while since I went to the cinema, and looking at my finances it's going to be a while longer, but up here they have a few different adverts in the trailers. There's an organisation called Project Scotland that is trying to get people to volunteer for stuff. Doesn't sound very interesting yet does it? The thing is their adverts are brilliant. Warning: There's a close up of spider for about 2 seconds near the end.

I want to see teenage wizard transforming spider pirates 3!

It's a shame that these won't get shown down south, Ginger gorilla milky milky sounds just like that line from The Mary Whitehouse Experience.
Oddly enough, went down to London a couple of years ago to see a mate and we went out to watch the November the fifth fireworks on the Thames. His girlfriend and one of her mates were with us and we randomly got talking about the Mary Whitehouse Experience. Was quite a surreal moment.
