Human Giant is amazing
Yes. It has been a while since my last post. Been absolutely swamped with coursework, preparing for uni exams, and sorting out a job for this summer. But that matters not because nobody reads this site anyway. Here's another funny video:
Absolute genius. Expect more of this in the coming days.

Pie Charts
You may be wondering why someone would do a random post about pie charts. Me that's who. I love pie-charts and anything pie-chart related.

If you haven't heard of Zero Punctuation...where have you been? This is a British guy based in New Zealand (?) who does reviews of games in a very unique way. I would never class myself as a serious gamer, but I still find his reviews incredibly funny. Check out his latest one for Call Of Duty 4:

Juno Movie Review
"A comedy about growing up...and the bumps along the way."
Aware as I am that this movie has been out in the UK for a while, I still think if I've taken the time out of my busy schedule to watch it, I might as well review it. Juno is a quirky film about a 16 year old girl Juno MacGuff who unexpectedly falls pregnant. She eventually decides to give up the baby to an adoptive couple and the story progresses as things start to unravel. The film earned notoriety pre-release because it's screenplay is the brainchild of a stripper/first-time film-writer.
First and foremost I have to acknowledge the performance of Ellen Page for her excellent portrayal of Juno. Even though Page is not called upon to show huge emotional range over the course of the film, she fills out the character of Juno with a real truth and you can imagine Juno as a real person. The rest of the cast including Jennifer Garner and Jason Batemen give solid performances as well, but Miss Page really shines. My only slight gripe is that Michael Cera yet again gives the EXACT SAME Arrested Development/Superbad awkward male teen performance he always gives. I love Michael Cera and I don't dispute he plays the role exceptionally well, but I must admit it's getting a little tiresome seeing him play the same character over and over. Especially this time without the funny lines.
For me this was a good solid feel good film. From the opening credits this flick has Indie written all over it. Juno is fairly unique in terms of style and this gives it a fresh feel when placed next to the typical lazy Hollywood Rom-com we're usually fed. Special mention must be made for the film's soundtrack. While I would not go as far as to say it is exactly to my personal taste, it matches this film to a T. Totally spot on for this movie It is a perfect example of how the correct marriage of music and film can work beautifully.
After hearing all the critical acclaim, for me this film is just a touch overrated. No argument when it comes to Performance by an Actreess in a Leading Roles, but the Oscar nods for Best Film and Original Screenplay are a bit of a stretch. For the first half of the film, the dialogue of every teenager simply isn't believable in the slightest. In my opinion Juno uses way too much witty incisive adult language for her age and it breaks the illusion of reality.
"I'm telling you I'm pregnant and you're acting shockingly cavalier..." and "Yes, hello, I need to procure a hasty abortion...I’m sorry, I’m on my hamburger phone and it’s kind of awkward to talk on. It’s really more of a novelty than a functional appliance..." While they are delicious lines, they're totally unrealistic out of a 16 yr olds mouth. Also, calling this a comedy is also a but much. I chuckled maybe twice, but never laughed out loud. Criticisms aside, I really enjoyed this intelligent "comedy" and I definitely think that if you like your movies quirky with razor-sharp dialogue you'll love this.
8/10

Because there aren't enough videos
Ok, so I've gone a bit crazy on the videos of late. But to be fair, nothing interesting seems to be in the news right now (other than the Ledge that is Corey Delaney). Rather annoyingly it's all Britney Spears at the moment. Apparently it's news because she's running round buying pregnancy tests and has just developed a pseudo-British accent. Her advisors aren't even trying to stop it anymore, that's the least of their fucking worries. They're just glad she's not shaving her head and attacking people with umbrellas. You can just imagine a whole team of people at her PR agency answering 2 phones at once going, "Hello...she's what?....She's shoved a chicken up her minge again??......no comment".
Anyway, on an unrelated note, here's another funny video by Jon Lajoie. His site is linked in the sidebar on the right. Check it out because his videos are hilarious. Here's his take on an Everyday Normal Guy:

Corey Delaney: Party Liason
This guy is a legend! Van Wilder meets Napoleon Dynamite in this unbelieveable Australian news interview. A 16 year old throws a house party, 500 kids turn up, cause huge damage and terrify the neighbours. He goes on TV to tell his side:
Btw, the name Worthington is just a fake name he gave to the reporters initially to avoid getting in trouble. His real name is Corey Delaney.
The exchange at the end is simply genius:
UPDATE: Looks like the Australian justice system is booking Corey on child porn charges. WTF?? Read the story here.
UPDATE 2: Corey's made the front page of the Timesonline website!! Check it here!
