Disappointing Endings
May 19th, 2008
So I recently finished Halo on the X-Box (after ripping through the last level in the jeep, falling 100ft down and not losing any energy, and then doing a runner to the big pointy space ship) and it wasn’t the hardest game in the world. This was probably due to the fact that I was playing on the normal level of difficulty. What did my eyes greet me when I had finished though? A short film of me blasting off saying in typical fashion, “I don’t think this is the last we’ve seen of them, in fact I think this is just the beginning.” Oh dear, are you setting me up for Halo 2? It was crap. If I had spent £300 odd quid on the console (remember it was free ladies and gentlemen) and then £50 on the game I would have been throwing my owl around in frustration.
Another disappointment was the last episode of Dexter. All in all I have no beef with it because it was exceptionally good all the way through and that they didn’t keep the other guy alive and he was forced to kill him was the best way but something so tacky as it being his brother? Predictable. Shod. They may as well have had the police chief in on it too and have some wise cracking good cop killed off a few days before his retirement. My loins hunger for more fufilling closing credits.
I might try ‘The Crying Game’…

Many things in life are disappointing these days, none more so than closing credits. Who gave them the right to cover our nice words and sing along music with voiceovers and graphics telling us what’s next on five other channels?
In The Crying Game, it turns out she’s a bloke or something. Stick to Spongebob Squarepants.

he could only cope with 3/5 of Brokeback Mountain last night, and that he had to watch through gritted teeth.

How do you watch it through gritted teeth? Does he have eyes inside his mouth?
If so I think he must be Harry Potter. That’s magical!

3/5 is good going for such a pile of fetid toss.

It wasn’t that bad Kev, just you couldn’t really tell what they were saying half the time.

The thing wot upsets me the most about Brokeback Mountain is the fact that Heath Ledger reminds me of Jonny Wilkinson and I cannot equate my lovely Jonny as a todger jockey.

Jonny Wilkinson? He’s made of testosterone. No crafty butcher he.
8. Kevil | May 20th, 2008 at 12:05
I dont know… he spends his time wearing a skin tight top and running round a field trying to hug men.
I’m just saying…

That and he’s a bit of a waste of space
(ooooOooooOOOOOOOO controversial!)

You’re playing with fire there, sonny Jim.

She’s heard it all before. If I’m not whispering comments during England games I’m stood laughing at the picture on the wall next to her desk that mentions all the injuries he had after the World Cup in 2003 🙂

Jonny Wilkinson – man of steel. nuff said.
13. Ian Mac Mac Mac Mac McIver | May 21st, 2008 at 12:35
Why did he get broke like thirteen times in two years then?
That’s not steel.
14. Kevil | May 21st, 2008 at 13:03
Because he was trying to hug all th real rugby players and they beat him up!
15. Chris | May 21st, 2008 at 13:24
What use would he be if he was made of steel? He wouldn’t bend properly.
Maybe man of balsa wood.
16. Kevil | May 21st, 2008 at 14:08
That could aslo explain why he breaks so often…
