An action film complete with explosions, punching, partial nudity, more explosions, men gritting their teeth and saying things like: "Get me the President!", An attractive woman running hand in hand with the bruised and battered hero as a warehouse or other large building blows up in the background; all that.

Voice Over:

The voice over is, well, limp and casual and not the gritty, dramatic voice you usually hear during such trailers.

"He's a cop. A cop on the edge! He's been accused of a crime he didn't commit AND his partner was killed by the biggest drugs baron the world has ever known. As you can imagine he's a little annoyed! He's got forty-eight hours to sort things out and get revenge!
The, uh, film is only ninety-minutes. Ninety-three minutes if you want to get into semantics. Anyway, what was I saying? He's well miffed and he's got scores to settle and he's going to settle them with knuckles, bullets and language that would make your mother blush. Starring that guy who was in that film with the kid who saw dead people, the old black guy that was the best thing in 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves', that young guy who was in that film where aliens take over a high school and they kill them with biros and some attractive woman who I've never seen before but is likely to feature in a kinky dream at some point in the future.
'Bang Theory' is out this summer.
Watch it! Certificate 18. May contain instances of scenery chewing and two roundhouse kicks."

Thanks to everyone for an awesome weekend. Lots of things went on. Here is a list of random happenings:



The Steve putting on a stage show at The Planet after the screening. The man has to be seen to be believed. He dances up a storm and such.

D. J's house party on Saturday which was just like the old days, better in fact. The place was packed and it was packed with decent sorts.

Stephanie played hockey in Chris S's room. She's got a few bruises blocking a speeding puck with her legs.

David J Showed me his snake and I don't mean that in A 'Carry On' way. D.J has a new pet which I was allowed to play with (This isn't going to sound good no matter what I write)

I played D.J and played some killer tunes for Nick and Matt to jig to.

We all had 95% vodka in a spray.

Some more...




Aloofus, Aloofus...

So, it’s 2018. I’m staring down the barrel of my 40’s but with the same goofy mindset I honed in my 20’s. Mentally, it doesn’t feel as bad a...
