Shaun at the pub

Avatar review

I wasn’t too excited about seeing this film which is strange because it must have been the most talked about film since the final Lord of the Rings film, but I did go see it as the reason it was so talked about was that it was the first full 3D non cartoon blockbuster and going to revolutionise cinema.

The good

Visually amazing, glorious special effects If you didn’t see this film at the cinema on the big screen in all its 3d splendour then it would be like going to a steak house and ordering the seafood platter. Not only will you hate yourself you will have missed out on the really good stuff. It was as groundbreaking as people had predicted before hand. Cinema is now going to change and the possibilities that will come from this will be also as ground breaking. (Like the decision to show the 6 nations rugby game England Vs Wales in 3D across cinemas this February more of this to come in another blog)

The whole world (Pandora I think it was called) that had been created for the film was amazing the concepts they had of being linked to the animals and plants and such like was brilliant, and also the colours and vibrancy of it was something to behold in its self.

The Bad

Unfortunately I personally thought the storyline was weak, predictable and used so many times before. As soon as the story of the big flying red thing was told you knew exactly how it would be back in the story, same with the animals that were too armoured to kill with bullets.

The length of the film also did itself no favours as it was a long time to sit in a cinema, they could and maybe should have made it shorter, being so long made you think about how uncomfortable you were toward the end instead of taking in the glorious special effects and 3Dness. I swear it contradicted itself with the atmosphere as well, but maybe that’s just me.

Verdict

4 out of 7 penguins, not even the brilliant special effects and 3Dness could turn this into a good film but nether the less a must see at the cinema for anybody even slightly interested in films/cinema.

Coleslaw

So Coleslaw......what do you have it with?

It comes from the Dutch word "koolsalade" which means "cabbage salad" and is dated all the way back to the Romans.

This side which basically is just shredded raw cabbage, shredded carrots, vinaigrette and mayo, is a taste sensation. But the real question I want to know is what in the blue cheese goes with it the best?

I don’t know where to start. In my humble opinion I think cole slaw or "slaw" is best at home as a side dish at a barbecue. Goes great with nearly all barbecued meats and very well with corn on the cob. Another favourite to me would be either chips or some kind of potato wedges or the good old jacket potato. Now I have seen on occasion that people put coleslaw with pizza which is fair enough but im not one to mess with my pizza but as a compliment to the crust I can see the logic. One gem I stumbled across just the other day was with Chilli. Chilli as you know needs to be seved piping hot. Either with rice or more preferbly with a jacket if you dolop a lump of the good stuff in with your chilli the contrast in the hot and cold adds something special to the dish. Well worth trying.

Stay safe

Hmmm

Sea Piracy! Argh?

Big News, it would seem that Russia's "top arms producer", a company named Bazalt has decided that the only way to deal with Ye Olde Sea Piracy is to fit anti-Piratey boats with MULTI-BARREL GRENADE LAUNCHERS! What are the chances of a company that produces these weapons, endorsing them too? Ahead of the curve.

I'm thinking the Bazalt MRG-1 would be sufficient and more affordable, but you can't discount the DP-65 with its remote controlness.

A Great Sunday Drive

We were all set, the perfect English Sunday afternoon. We had the folding chairs out, a couple of oranges for light refreshment, blue skies with a wisp of cloud here and there. We had pulled up to the village green and set up our seats up in the gantry. We had a great view over the goal posts to see the action. Shaun had just been sent out batting at number 4. Two of Islip's finest had already been sent packing with their tales between their legs and Mr Curtis, Captain Wonder, was now having to step up to the plate, and boy did he help himself to a man sized portion of the Titchmarsh Cavaliers' bowlers. As we were joined by a Curtis fan, Oliver, from down the road Shaun really started to turn on the style. It didn’t matter who was bowling or what was being bowled he was turning everything down his leg side. He then started playing the ball all round the ground BOSH another 4. Pace spin didn’t matter to him he saw the ball as big as a melon. At his first drinks break Shaun was on about 20 and looking very good for it. The sun was toasting his skin and sweat literally streaming off his face but he looked like a man possessed. I took this opportunity to get a few words from the every growing fan base. Alex noted "Shaun is playing really well, I though he could only play down the leg side but he is showing us all of his shots today". "He is now showing that raw potential that made people stand up and take notice as a youth" Oliver added. After drinks I received a phone call from a friend of mine, he had heard about the show Shaun was giving the soon to be record breaking crowd and wanted a piece of the action. As Stuart arrived he noted "Shaun looks a demi god out there". As the now record crowd watched with a growing excitement as Shaun edged ever nearer his first ever 50 a well warranted drinks were called. He was told he was on 49 only one shy. Anticipation could be cut with a knife, well to be honest even the bluntest of sporks would have cut this will Shaun make his magic half century. In his mind all he was thinking was, I'm going to do this the classy way and spank the ball over to the crowd who had all moved square of the wicket but on Shaun's on side. The bowler who was running on his very last reserves put up what Stuart would only call a grenade and Shaun saw his chance. A mighty swing towards the record crowd and then it happened, he had been out done by a crafty grenade. But don't worry this tale does not end badly. On the way back to the pavilion the scorers counted up again and Shaun had already got his half century. The day was complete. The crowd cheered clapped and congratulated the hero of the day even after all the anticlimax. The crowd soon dispersed and Islip against all odds went on to lose the match but in our eyes Shaun is the real winner.

Football!

Hey again,

I'm going to talk about football for a blog.

• Is it me or is the whole Ronaldo staying at United or going to Madrid situation just getting really boring i honestly now don't care what he does, why every summer we have to spend it talking and hearing stuff about Ronaldo is beyond me (its almost as bad as the Ashley Cole Arsenal Chelsea rubbish which went on for two summers.

• Why are so many teams interest in Adebayor, his only had one good season and misses a hell of a lot of chances, i bet Arsenal will be laughing of anyone pays 30 million for him. But then again its about time Arsenal sold players for more than there worth. Still don't understand Henry was sold for just 16.1 million when the season before Barcelona were planning to make him the most expensive transfer ever, Also Viera was rated at 30 million then a season later he was sold for 13.

Anywho peace out.

Fashion

Hi all,

I got bored with a pair of plain dark blue jeans so i decided I'd customise them.

Here are some picture's -

I would love feed back on them, as i'm trying to kid myself I'd make it in the fashion industry.

Does anyone think they are to plain down one side?

I also made a bracelet out of rope, no pictures of these though.

Peace Out.
