Urgh . . .

So . . .

I live in a tiny, teensy-weensy little town in the middle of Scotland. Everything closes at like, 10.00ish, aside from a few bars (and we know I get ID’d for everything). Therefore it is typically the bore. And the weather is also crap: it's cold, it's dark and it's windy -- not suitable for a girl with gorgeous locks of hair such as I. Oh, no! But my night isn't all doom and gloom: I've had to move about like a truck-load of furniture (I have biceps of steal), and I've uncovered some old VHS and a stack of DVDs which I'd forgotten about . . . Bad me. But good in the sense that I now have a bunch of awesome crap to watch! I mean, Hostel Part II . . . I think that one was okay, wasn't it? Anyway, I know it's so 2007, but I plan on writing something regarding the "Torture Porn" subgenre pretty soon. Even though I'm not a particular fan: my interest stems from the exploitation flicks of the 70s and early 80s (which I am a fan of -- well, the history at the very least), and torture porn seems to regurgitate some of those ideas/conventions, if pushing the barrier even more so.


Films that I have watched recently are: The Wicker Man (1973) and Scar 3D (2007). One was bloody wonderful, and one was . . . well, rather shite. Can you guess which one, hmmm? I hope you said The Wicker Man was bloody wonderful 'cause then you'd be right. That reminds me, I was flicking through a DVD magazine, and The Wicker Man was listed as one of the "All-time Greatest Horror DVDs" or something, and it highlighted Britt Ekland's dance as one of the stand-out scenes. And if you want to know why -- or more importantly, want to check out a classic horror movie, then go get The Wicker Man. That's right! Get it right now! Just remember it's the 1973 version, not that 2006 pap with Nicholas Cage . . . shudder.

Thats nonsense, A beautiful young lady like yourself shouldnt get ID'd for anything. Especially not a Friday 13th Boxset from HMV. A worker might like you a bit much though)

As I was saying, You are far too Gorgeous and sophisticated to e ID'd for anything.

Oh and yes. Scar 3D was utter, dire, sheer shite.

Christine, you're such a suck-up.

Thanks for the compliments though. Getting ID'd is just down to my youthful appearance . . . just wait until the wine kicks in, and the cigars ;)I'll be a crusty old woman.

I shall have to laugh. As I will once again say. YOU WILL AGE RAPIDLY (evil maniachal laugh)

But see, there again, I give a compliment, I get called a suck up :(
Can you not just accept a compliment woman?

Anymore of it and I wont be using my aged and wise appearemces (And Id) to get your Friday 13th boxset, and then you'd have to suffer without (Another evil laugh)

Christine,

You just said: "YOU WILL AGE RAPIDLY". In what language is that a compliment?!

Besides, I'll get those DVDs if I have to raid out my birthday certificate . . . or drag my maw to the town! Or . . . if I start looking like you ;)

I said you'd age rapidly in a seperate comment, after being called a suck up :P

Plus it might be a compliment if you live in some kind of idiot village (Liek me)(Notice the intentional misspell)

And I'll have you know, Plenty of folk would LOVE to look like me. I am one of a kind beaty that can't be found anywhere else :D
