Eyeball injecting with Domestos

Line from a Fall song, 'Shakedown', which I find myself humming along to. 'If you do either strong pot or ecstasy imbibe, you will end up eyeball injecting with Dommestos...'
Haven't we all, eh?
Great line from 'Touch Sensitive', which is in the Vauxhall Corsa "hide and seek" ad they've started showing again..."They say what about the meek? I say they've got a bloody cheek." Don't know why I started with that, probably because I saw the ad at the cinema. Twice.

First feature was Little Tommy Cruise in 'War of the Worlds', in which Spielberg makes a film about post 9/11 American fears and nearly convinces us that Tom Cruise can be a slobby, selfish, crappy dad at the beginning of the film and end up being a bit of a better one by the end, and it only takes an alien invasion to bring this all about.

Two points; firstly, Fathers For Justice ain't going to like the way modern dads are portrayed here, and the kick up the aris some of them need. It's one thing to end up showing a dad bonding with his kids, but what about those shelves he was supposed to put up last year? Christ! If it takes the death of a chunk of the world's population to die before he can hug his son, who'll be left standing when he has to buy a training bra for Rachel?
Secondly, at least we see a change in the character, from bad to not so bad, which was completely missing from Episode 3. Like Mark Kermode said, Lucas had one job to do in the film, and that was to show us how a confused, but good lad, can become Mr Vader. Instead? Pretty pouty boy gets sulky, legless and ends up Johnny No Mates The UberGoth, and I couldn't tell you where the change happened and how little I cared.

But Spielberg did cock some things up. Aliens coming down in the lightning strikes and getting into tripods buried millions of years before? Nah, mate. The Weather Girls "Raining Men" video was more believable than that idea.
Apart from that, there was not enough Miranda Otto.

After that, Batman Begins, confusing and badly shot fight scenes, a philosophising mentor rip off from the Matrix, a love interest twist ripped off from Spiderman and still it was the best Batman debut since Keaton. (Adam West is untouchable, in a good way, and I've never seen the first one when B and Robin fight the Japanese in a wartime propaganda flick)I tried hard to not like it, looked for faults others would comment on, so I could be ready to defend it, and I found them. A few, actually. But, overall, this was something a dog would really want to lick. Both of them. And they're hairy.

But I'm tired and rambly and I might come back tomorrow to this and change it or add to it.

Yeah, yeah, mate, try Boogies.
