Sunlight Plays Upon Her Hair
Terminator Salvation looks like a good film from the trailer. Christian Bale has yet to turn in a bad performance (although he has been in some bad films) and the special effects look incredible. What I can glean of the plot is promising too. And yet. And yet it is a McG film. And he is one of those rare people with a reverse Midas touch. I’d say he is the anti-Christ of American cinema but that is unfair: the anti-Christ could at least blame his upbringing and parental pressure . . .
The Sunday Express has a headline screaming (I am paraphrasing) “Gordon Brown least popular PM since polling began – Worse than Michael Foot.” Now, I am confused. I know I was but a small child but I am sure I would remember Michael Foot’s triumphant victory following the Falklands War and headlines such as “Incontinent PM soils himself at peace summit” and “The wheelchair’s not for turning.”
The Inbetweeners finished a triumphant second series in the week. Not the saccharin ending of the first series, a savage and very funny look at exams and heartbreak instead. Often intermingled. Quite simply this series has been one of the funniest things ever broadcast and I would recommend everyone seek it out and hunt it down.
