Revenge of the phone company
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.
12 Rat hairs from me
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.

“Men Who Stare at Goats” is far too intellectual for a dumb dumb like you SJ. I have in fact been able to utilise similar powers to those discussed in the movie and therefore found the movie quite intriguing. What you find difficult to even comprehend, I study, master and harnass for good.
I have inside info from the Roosters that Ricky is definitely included in the Broncos future plans.
You have an internet fairy stealing all your internet. Typical that you would blame everyone else for your troubles.
Sorry Iamasmartman I have it on good authority myself that Ricky is not going to the Bronco’s. Ricky has nothing to do with the Roosters anymore so why would they have any inside info?
Interestingly I recently saw Righteous Kill and thought nearly the same thing. Why did two of this generations greatest actors sign on for this movie.
Give it up with the Broncos they are a lost cause.
Rob, you disappoint me. Of course Ricky still has connections at the Roosters. He won a premiership with us. That doesn’t die. Also, can you not fathom that Bruno would have wanted to discuss Ricky’s performance and culture with the executive management team Ricky once reported to??I didn’t realise that the losers on this site had impacted your intelligence so substantially. You used to appear a cut above the rest of this rabble. Now it seems that you do NOT understand the politics of big business or professional sport. DO NOT comment on such matters from now on!What ‘good authority’ do you have?
Scott, where have you been?
Trouble in paradise Iamagayman and his boyfriend Rob B are fighting it out like a pair of Queens on Oxford St. Watch your eyes guys, you don’t want to blind each other with your girly scratching!
I found men who stare at goats funny. You must be smoking the loopy weed if you think it was intellectual Iamagayman.
As usual guys, Nothin is way off the mark & has missed the point on everything. Sadly he doesn’t realise we’re all laughing at him.
Sorry did that hurt Nothin?
I think we have seen the last of him finally
I have been around. Are you some sort of policeman?
Nah, he is just a complete knob.
