I recently sold my Telstra shares and they repay me with slow internet from hell. To be fair they did warn me that they were going to slow my internet down when I had 5 gig of data left for the month. When I received this email I thought ok, time to pull up on the internet usage, but alas 4 days later somehow I have blown through the 5 gig like it was nothing. Bull shit! Tesltra you are screwing with me I barely downloaded an email and it is gone. You are full of crap and I am leaving you!

In light of my internetless weekend (and coming weekend because I am only halfway through the freaking month!) I watched a few movies/shows I had on Foxtel (yes another Telstra product). I now list them so you can save yourself some time.

Righteous Kill
Staring De Niro and Pacino I expected a lot but was VERY disappointed. What a piece of crap. I have had drives to the supermarket with more interesting plots and the twist…. WHAT TWIST if it was any more obvious what was going to happen 15 minutes into the movie it could have passed as a romance-less Mills and Boon novel.

The men who stare at goats
I had been wanting to get an on demand movie (from Foxtel) for some time and finally decided this movie would get my $6. I love George Clooney and indeed would consider boofing him but this was a dog turd from death. Maybe I missed some crucial plot line but this appeared to be a movie made just for the sake of it. Had I known up front the worlds most annoying actor Jeff Bridges was in it I probably would have given it a miss but the faith I had in Clooney, Spacey and to a lesser extent Ewan McGregor gave me confidence it would be ok.

Its review lists it as a slapstick comedy war film. I review it as 17 rat hairs stuck together inside a bit of ear wax.

Brisbane Broncos
I am staggered Lockyer didn’t play and even more staggered now to hear he wanted to play and the coach would not let him. Most staggering of all is talk that Ricky Stuart could be the new Broncos coach. Mark my words, if Stuart coaches my team they lose me. I would rather support Manly.
