The one with something you dont see everyday!

Whats the deal with the leopard? Obviously, a croc isnt on leopard menu. Maybe it'll use it to make a new pair of boots.....

The one where its all back to normality

Its been a long few days. Over the weekend, Gus decided to make shit of one of his nails. So in between binning a John Rocha t-shirt which got soaked in doggy nail blood and being up at the crack of dawn, Im counting down the days to the holidays, to say the least.

Anyways, thanks to all the staff at the Gilabbey Veterinary hospital for all their wonderful work as always. They do an amazing job in there. And to top off the nail fillet that Gus had to get, they had RedFM on in there as well., which is always a good thing! But the main thing, is Gussy is well and truly on the mend!

Well, as predicted, The Dark Knight gave Spiderman 3 a good few digs and beat its opening weekend record by around 4 million. $155 mill + for 3 days. Roll on Thursday afternoon. Full review online at some point that evening. Not that people need another review saying how good the damn thing is. But, it'll be on here, just in case there are still some people living under rocks.

On a final note, check this out.

And no it doesnt rip anybodies chest out their arse. Which to some, may come as a disappointment.

The one with nothing

Righto, no blog today as Gus has had to go to the Vet to get an operation on his paw. So tis all hands on deck, as opposed to all hands on keyboard :(

The one with the Wall-E Review

Back in the day, I don't know did anybody think that the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Project, would evolve in Pixar Animation Studios. When Steve Jobs handed over a few bob for them way back when, did even Mr.iPod think that they would turn out they way they did. For years, Pixar has set the level, to which all others have followed. Dreamworks got in on the animation deal with the likes of Shrek. Blue Sky Studios did the same with Ice-Age and ever since, we've been inundated with computer generated, animated movies. And unfortunately quite alot of them have been shite.

Pixar's work has always looked outstanding. That said, Dreamworks made Shrek look very good. Ice-Age turned out pretty cool as well for Blue Sky. But!!! And theres always a but, Pixar always had amazing stories to go with the amazing look of their movies. And thats where alot of other animated features have fallen apart. Their story side of things, couldn't even cut a sliced pan!

Wall-E is yet another amazing feather in the cap of a company I wished to work for, many years ago. Andrew Stanton is in the directors chair, who's previous writing credits include Finding Nemo and Toy Story. And man, has he come up with goods again.

In a little nutshell, which is the sweetest one you'll see all year , Wall-E is a robot. Yes, he's got the big eyes and the cute mannerisms, kinda like Johnny 5. His days are spent stockpiling rubbish on earth. Its a different Earth at this point though. Everyone has fecked off somewhere else. The planet is just one big rubbish dump. Skyscrapers of rubbish dot the landscape. All created by a variety of Wall-E's, who were invented to clean the planet up and load a few space ships with rubbish. The ships would then bugger off into space and get rid of the rubbish. Happy days, for a while.

Wall-E is the only one left on the planet and has only a little cockroach as a physical companion. That said, he has a huge collection of rubbish in his storage unit. Wait till you see Pong, or the VHS deck playing Helly Dolly, through an iPod video. After much of these hilarious antics, EVE arrives. She's looking for signs on the planet coming back to normality. Wall-E falls in love and follows EVE onto a rocket and the story continues in an intergalactic mode. As a gift Wall-E has given EVE a plant that he found, a sign that life is sustainable once again on earth.

From that point on, the story revolves around the plant and Wall-Es obsession with EVE. The plant is the key item for the intergalactic cruiser and its hover chaired inhabitants, to return to Earth. I don't want to give too much away from here on in, but its a great story. There are genuine moments in the film, towards the end that the whole cinema was absolutely quiet. Nobody farted, nobody even took a breath. And its moments like this that you know Pixar has done it yet again. They made you fall madly in love with an animated Robot. And keep in mind, this was a late show at 11:45pm with zero kids and nothing but adults in the cinema!!!!

Excluding the fatter, lazy human folks, there is very little dialogue in Wall-E. Beeps, Blips and a wide selection of robot sounds make up the conversation. There is no sub-titles or anything of the sort. You don't need them, because you understand every single thing that's going on. Every blip, buzz and motion means something. The man behind the sound of Wall-E, Ben Burtt has done an amazing job. But this is the guy that injected life into R2D2 back in the late 70's, so theres no surprises there.

Wall-E looks and sounds amazing. As a movie, this is one of the sweetest intergalactic love movies you will ever see, animated or otherwise. If this movie doesn't warm your heart, then there is a good chance your actually dead.

The one with Terminator Salvation

This appeared last night online



While its not pants removing time yet, I've opened my belt.

Im a huge Terminator fan, and maybe its just me, but the actor who brought the Terminator to life on screen and gave him his characteristics, is nowhere to be seen in this one. And at this present moment in time, and I never thought I'd say this..a Terminator movie without Arnie is just what the doctor ordered....maybe!

The one with the mystery sound!

Here tis la, it drove people nuts since Sunday. And no winner. No Cork Talks Back Mystery Sound Scene coming soon...



And, the angry kid. Being floating around for a while, but still absolutely hilarious :)

The one with the most random video you'll see all day

The one with amazing things....maybe....probably not

Some form of normality should return to the blog over the next couple of days. She who must be obeyed is on holidays and we decided to get a skip and get rid of some shite that's been hanging around for far too long. So Sunday was spent in Woodies deciding on which one of them Baby Skip yokes to buy. We didn't have much to get rid of, as I thought. In hindsight, we probably should have got the one that was capable of carrying a small ocean liner. Like a dirty, cheap hoor, we filled it up within 30 minutes. That took away a bit of blog time and other time, but tis sorted now. Not that anyone gives a flying fuck. Why would you?

"Oh yeah, yer mano from RedFM filled up a skip this week. And twasnt even a real skip. Twas wan a them bag jobs"

"Really, fuckin hell. At least he didn't kill any hookers this week or throw a few televisions, horses or goats through any hotel room windows."

"Yeah, that's true alright. Pity that"

One of the topics on the show last night, was a little bit titillating. Some might say, it was one of the breast topics yet. And so on and so forth. Come up with your own breast / chest pun. M&S are charging more for DD+ size bras. No, while this doesn't really bother me, I'm pushing a B cup, alot of the female audience are a bit peeved at the whole thing.
Is it not like other things, the bigger the size, the more expensive it is. XL and XXL and bigger sized t-shirts cost a few bob more. If something is comfortable, surely its worth an extra few bob.

Will the ladies of Cork start going around wearing smaller bra sizes? Will their boobs be bursting out of the said smaller bra sizes, akin to a fleshy version of Niagra Falls. I doubt it somehow. On the other hand, you can blame it on the recession if you want. I wonder how the people who have appeared on the front cover of National Geographic feel about it??? I cant see them paying extra for bras. They've got the right idea. Leave it all hang out. And worse case scenario, throw your tits over your shoulder!

The one with Boobies

The lads are looking for a charity to give all the proceeds from their single, Boobies (Out August 1st)

If your interested, drop by Shyhhy Records and email them.

Heres the vid....
