Billy Talent anybody?

Hey folks! I bought two tickets to see Billy Talent in Glasgow September 15th a couple of days back. I thought that if I bought them I was more likely to go but there is nobody for the second ticket, so anybody up for it?!

I was at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh with the folks the other day and got some photos so check them out if you're interested. If you're in the area it's well worth going to. For the most part it's free but at only 3.50 GBP for the tropical greenhouses (the best part) you can't go wrong. Oh, and if you do go bring nuts - the squirrels go crazy over them and have bust ups with the flying rats pigeons.



Superman Returns Review

Amazing. Just amazing. I won't hear otherwise - because I'm right and you're wrong (I have to get into my critic persona). Okay if you want to say it isn't just leave a comment here - I'll listen. Oh and if you haven't seen the movie you might want to not read on but I won't be spoiling too much.

I thought the acting was amazing, especially from Spacey and Bosworth who even though is too young to be Lois Lane still pulled it off really well. There was so much about it that reminded me of watching the originals when I was a kid but it still felt new. The orginal music really made it and it wouldn't have been Superman without it - imagine Star Wars Ep3 without the star wars music,or Indiana Jones without it.

I did think that there were parts in it there were interesting yet left me thinking why?. Maybe scenes were deleted because it was too long.

There was talk before the film was released about Superman being a little gay - how can that be anymore wrong?! Here you have this selfless gentleman who's being called gay. Not so long ago girls would have still considered that to be amazing but these days qualities like that seem to be considered gay. I think he's just an old fashioned hero.

There are quite a few things brought up that have some kind of message I think... Father and son - any father must feel like Superman sometimes or are certainly thought of like that by kids.

Might just be me but even in a relationship you can kind of feel like Superman sometimes. Or you want to be for that person. Strong, kind... "always around".

There's a lot about the whole idea of Superman that applies to everyday life.

What did everybody else think of it?



A Tribute

To the greatest script in the world.

for (var i = 0; i < allWebPages.length; i++) {
allWebPages[i].innerHtml = allWebPages[i].innerHtml.replace('color', 'colour');
}

And you know I'm right ;)
