biggest bitch of the week award
so, i am shopping in a fucking home wares store and looking around at things.
admittedly i am touching alot of the little weird objects and looking at them and all that jazz.. and then she fucking opens her mouth...
bitch retail slave - are you okay there? or are you happy playing?
ben - PLAYING? i'm LOOKING!
ohhhh... that is all it took for me to be on my fucking high horse and saying into the bin. this bitch thought i was a fucking child and needed to be monitored whilst i was in her fucking shitty home store... GGRRRR...
and for her to not know anything about me and say i was playing? who the fuck are you lady?

lame asshole of the week
customer - yeh, do you have any HD DVDS?
ben - no, we don't have them anymore they don't exist.
customer - YES, they DO exist... just some stores don't have them in stock.
ben - yes, so, they don't make them anymore. they don't exist.
he looked at me like i was a fucking idiot and then i looked at him and gave him that "err" face where you stick you tongue under your bottom gum.
and then.... he says after i have walked off but because he doesn't know i have excellent fucking hearing...
customer - (to counter staff) they do exist. he was wrong.
god bless you sir, and you're children. you are awarded the lame asshole of the week award!
ben - no, we don't have them anymore they don't exist.
customer - YES, they DO exist... just some stores don't have them in stock.

movie time
snowcake
alan rickman, trinity from matrix and sigourney weaver star in this drama about death, dealing and some snow. after killing a hitchhiker, rickman goes to meet the mother who is not all there... great performances and realistic dialogue make snowcake entertaining and engaging.
*** 1/2
28 weeks later
the sequel to 28 weeks starring full monty's robert carlyle. "upping the anty" from the original, 28 weeks is bloody and violent and packed full of hand-held camera work. some good performances from rose byrne and michael from lost. london looks fantastic as an abandoned virus hot-spot. watch out for the possible trilogy!!!
*** 1/2
once
an amazing film with a fantastic soundtrack. shot on handycam and with non professional actors, once tells the story of random and not so perfect love. the two leads give powerful performances as boy and girl who fall for each other and then have to go back to their lives. watch this film not once, but twice... and then download the soundtrack...
**** 1/2
superbad
not bad at all this film. pretty dirty in terms of its humor. michael cera and jonah hill are great not to mention the other kid who kinda steals the show with his mc lovin character. bill hader and seth rogen are also great as dum cops. funny and outrageous situations make superbad a pretty fun and silly little trip into the lives of these 3 kids who just wanna bang chicks and go to a rad party.
****
cars
another pixar movie that i just couldnt even get through. i cant really call this a review because i didnt watch it but let's just say that it was soooo disappointing and felt more like a bad dreamworks movie than pixar. they dropped the ball on this one that's for sure!
**
oceans thirteen
all the gang are back plus al "scarface" pacino in this fun fun fun heist movie. soderbergh handles the action and dialogue with great ease and this film just rolls by its 2 hrs running time! great music and production design. bernie mac isn't around anymore so check him out in one of his final roles... he doesn't get much to do but he is there. twists and turns and fun for all the gang.
*** 1/2
human traffic
not about what you think this brit flick stars martin someone who played the master is season 3 of dr who. anyways, great music and atmosphere about london night life and drugs and partying and having fun. not the best thing i have seen but it was okay.
** 1/2
knocked up
rogen and heigl star in this apatow flick about getting pregs. great dialogue and naturalistic performances like any of his previous films. good to also see some of the gang from other projects popping up.

look at me now
yes i am turning 22 in a couple of weeks but that does not stop me enjoying the simple pleasures of footscray.
donuts, vietnamese food and trying to fit through a random circle while waiting for the 402 bus.
donuts, vietnamese food and trying to fit through a random circle while waiting for the 402 bus.
this here is the circle in question... i was actually a little worried that i might become stuck inside and i would be featured on the news as the segment at the end that is funny and then the sports man and the news-reader make jokes about it and somehow tie it all back to the sport with something like "a hole in one also for tiger woods" blah blah...
anyways... after an initial hesitation i entered previously photographed circle with amazing results. unfortunately i wasn't able to capture the event as my company tried to pretend that they did not know me...
but this lovely photo should illustrate the joy and happiness one got after getting through the tiny circle!!!

the end.
