2,000 hamsters can't be wrong.

The Unfortunate Villain 

The problem with being a fan of someone who tends to play the villain or any other expendable character is that they usually die during the first half of the film. No matter what, they will die in the most horrific and/or tragic way. I am looking forward to both The Great Raid and Aeon Flux these next few months - and yes, there's a connection there. Seems like Asylum could be the exception to the rule, but I'm not sure yet.

We went to see The 40-year-old Virgin today, after another dreadful visit at the local Barclays branch. The film was just like we had anticipated: Funny in many places, embarrassing at times, and then a bit slow in between. All in all enjoyable and right out laughing-out-loud several times, but I wouldn't flesh out more than five quid to go see it, so if your nearest cinema is the Odeon, or if you live in Norway, wait for the DVD rentals to come out, or even better, wait until your local TV station shows the film.

Am I the only one sensing a slight musical link between Texas's new single, Getaway with one of the songs off Briskeby's debut album (can't remember which one)? It feels like I've heard parts of it before. Oh, who cares.

Also, I would like to know who came up with the idea of calling a shade of grey monkey. Monkey is by far my favourite word these days, since we saw an episode of Hornblower where this animal was referred to - I had seen the episode before but never thought it to be funny at that time, who knows why.

Current track: U2's newest single, I believe, on The Hits (TV)
