Alright, firstly Maggie Gylenhal isn’t ‘beautiful’, unless the Joker was being a twat. But she’s not. She’s indie film ‘doable’, like she’s a quirky girl who owns a coffee shop and wears primary colours, but she’s not beautiful like Jennifer Connelly, or that chick in the ‘Crying Game’ (got to finish watching that film). If I was one of Jokers’ hired goons and was told to go and catch Maggies’ character with the description ‘ a tall, slim, beautiful brunette’ I’d have kidnapped someone else, like Famke Janssen. Then no doubt Joker would have freaked out and started telling me a story about how he got scars on his mouth and it would all have ended badly.

Secondly Morgan Freeman is increasingly starting to piss me off in films:

Christopher Nolan: “Okay Morgan, your character is a jittery neurotic with a lisp who comes from France.”

Morgan Freeman: “How about I play him as a cool, dignified American man, who has a knowing twinkle in his eye, who just comes across as a smug bastard.”

Christopher Nolan: “Well… Erm… I was hoping you’d actually try acting in this film Morgan.”

Morgan Freeman: “And I want it written into my contract that there’s no laughing on set.”

Christopher Nolan: *sigh* “Okay Morgan, we’ll do it your way.”

Morgan Freeman: *smiles knowingly whilst his eye twinkles, although he just seems like a smug bastard*

Anyway, the first 40 minutes are pretty good, then it goes a bit awry. It is a film where you don’t quite know what’s going to happen, at least more so than the other 90% of action films.

I’d give it a solid 7/10. Definitely worth watching if you imagine that Gylenhal’s character really works as a quirky flower arranger who’s an aspiring go go dancer and you imagine punching Morgan Freeman repeatedly in the face every time he acts smug (97% of his on screen time). Better than the first of the new Batman series (which was also good), but not as cool as the ‘Mystery Men’.

BTW does anybody know of a Morgan Freeman film where he doesn’t play an annoyingly smug man with a knowing twinkle in his eye?

Awesome to the max.

Hitchens does seem like a bit of a gent. Apparently the journalist in ‘Bonfire of the Vanities’ is based on Christopher Hitchens.

This book is on my ‘must get around to reading’ list.

Yeah Mike, you’ve really got to stop buying that tat.

I don’t remember Sorceress being quite that sexy. I wouldn’t mind plucking her!*

*’Plucking’ sounds a bit like fucking, indicating I would like to bed her. However it also works on another level as Sorceress is dressed like a bird, and I could also be indicating that I wanted to pull her feathers out. I wasn’t though as I’d do her good, and then Evil Lynne for good measure.

PS Neon. I need some muscle tomorrow for going up to Manchester. Feel like a road trip? Just feel I might need some protection. Now I will take my cricket bat, but I am afraid it will be nicked before I get a chance to use it in defense.

I thought you were Dutch?

Shouldn’t you be employing the skillz of the brothers Brown in any en devour regarding muscle? I thought Max was going to be taking over from the lead singer of ‘Right Said Fred’ and jacking in his job in IT?

I’d love to help out in North vs South brawl, but I’ve unfortunately grazed my elbow and the doctor says I’ve got to take it easy until it heals. Although if Insane is questioning my scraping abilities…

*Shakes fist*

One problem Max:

I don’t think you’ll be able to use your existing profile. Maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t it only 5 accounts per game copy, all of which you have to create yourself?

Anyone?
