I reckon you can probably judge whether you’ll like this film or not, simply by looking at the picture below:
Are you thinking: “Cool looking comic strip villain” or “what a silly hat!”?
To me, that’s just Sir Ian McKellen looking a bit of a div. That makes it somewhat hard to take him seriously when he starts pulling the required villainous faces.
Not to worry. It is a film about mutant people after all, so you can’t really take it too seriously.
I would imagine that it helps to perhaps watch the first two X-Men films again. Oh, by the way, after the end credits have rolled - there’s another tiny scene… 6/10.
Picture the scene… it’s 6am, everythings quiet and I’m fast asleep. I suddenly wake up. I can hear a noise coming from the lounge.
*clonk* *thud* *thock* *clunk*
Yikes! What the fook is that?! It must be burglars!! The bar stewards are trying to half-inch my server. Either that, or they are trying to nick my 30 year old telly.
Now most people that know me, will know that I’m not ‘at my best’ first thing in the morning (or any time before midday actually), and that I tend to do very dim things before I’m awake. Anyway…
Completely starkers, I jump out of bed and fling open the bedroom door ready to give the ruffians a damn good beating. The fact that I was totally unarmed and totally nekkid didn’t occur to me at the time. Ooops.
So, imagine my surprise then, to find a big black bird flying towards me in a Hitchcock “The Birds” style. If you’ve seen Mission Impossible 2 and remember the awful cringeworthy scene with the slow motion dove flying towards the camera - you won’t be far off what I saw heading towards me.
Fortunately however, I managed to lead the poor bugger to the outside world before it pooed *all* over the place. You know that’s not quite what I meant about waking up with a strange bird.
Oh, and yes I know… ‘the early bird catches the worm’ phrase has never seemed more appropriate…
Late night insomniac telly trash Quizmania disappeared from ITV1 a while back, only to replaced by The Mint.
Although Kat Shoob has a, err, umm couple of good qualities, you just can’t beat Greggles for comedy value.
Rant time again. The other day it was BT, today it’s Monday. Literally.
So this new lottery then. Sounds like a great idea.
Ok, the rules aren’t exactly something you can easily explain in a sentence. But still. Can’t be that difficult surely. So you’re new to Monday? Perhaps the 1,764 words on how to play page will quickly clear things up. Yeah, right. That’s about 4 pages in Word - just to get started!!
Their website in general though, well, sucks. It really needs to improve very fast. Who on earth designed it? Technical glitches aside (early days, so I’ll forgive that), what’s wrong?
Well, the number selection process is cute but awful. Try it.
The little coloured balls that show the results are idiotically a different colour to the balls you’ve picked. Let me show you what I mean. Here are the results from this weeks draw on the Play Monday website:
Now let’s look at my numbers:
See what I mean? Why is 6 a different colour? Why is 49 a different colour? If they are different, why is 18 the same colour? Why are the results so small? That is a 6 right, or is it a 5? Most stupid. Anyway, I got three numbers. Woohoo!
If you want to find the odds of winning, you look in the FAQ right? Not quite. You need to click on ‘how to play’ then ‘game FAQs’. Riiiiiight. So if you’re looking for odds, you click how to play. Hmmm.
If I was going on holiday on Saturday for a few weeks and wanted to play in advance, I press what?! The FAQ says “Can I play in future weeks’ lotteries? Yes, you can play up to 16 weeks in advance.” Ok, want to give me a clue?
If I want to see the tickets I’ve bought - I click on a button called History. Jeeeez. Call the fookin’ thing TICKETS!!
Oh, the colours….! Man alive!
…and relax.
