Friday night, at last!

“Independence Day” is on tonight. It’s one of those movies that are just SO great. I’m not joking. It’s absolutely brilliant; all the elements of the perfect film are there. Will Smith is at his best, and so is that Jurassic Park scientist guy (Jeff Goldblum? Is that right?). And in between, during the commercial brakes, there’s all these happy people drinking, eating, enjoying Spain, buying stuff, saving money on car insurance and taking care of various aspects of their appearance. Ironically, a successful advert about a product that helps people improve themselves is (statistically) viewed more people that can’t be bothered doing anything else than sit on the sofa and watch adds on the TV, instead of doing anything more constructive, even if that is to stop watching adds.

(Counts to ten. Slowly. Very slowly. Sighs)

In other news, I’m bored, and for some reason I’m also feeling angry. With everyone and anyone really, so nothing specific (I think). I’d like to be able to stick my brain in a bucket of ice, lime and something alcoholic – vaguely rum. I got wine, though. Hell yeah, I gots me some wine, partner, have a sip!
I’m not even funny anymore. I’m bored. Maybe I should spend some time with my miniature Zen garden….

(Edit: By far, the best part of the movie is when Will Smith and Jurassic Jeff are inside the alien mothership, have realised they're stuck and accepted that they'll die. 
Will Smith gets ready, shouts "Peace!" and shoots a nuclear bomb into the spaceship.
That's classic!
Oh, and I feel much better now. Never underestimate the power of a good film!)
