Isn't communication amazing? This morning Lorraine and I managed to communicate with each other in sentences of less than two words. This went on for a couple of hours and we understood each other completely. It's all in the expression and tone of voice.
Eventually I got bored, went out, visited the cinema and skulked at my Mom's for several hours. I didn't have the heart to spend the whole day at the cinema. In the main I go to the cinema to enjoy myself, and as I wasn't enjoying myself, it would have been a waste of a visit.
I saw an interesting film, though. "I Want Candy".
It's a classic British comedy. A breath of fresh air. Well written with great performances (Carmen Electra especially is a revelation as porn goddess Candy Fiveways and shows just what a great actress she is) and great production values. Stephen Surjik's film is a welcome addition to the pantheon of comedies dealing with the war between the sexes. Along the way the script makes several incisive points about the infiltration of pornography in modern life during the 21st century and asks probing questions such as, who exactly is exploiting who?
"I Want Candy" is a classic. It's a triumph!
Are you fucking kidding us, John?
Yes, I am. "I Want Candy" is a piece of shit.
There is one great piece of gross slapstick involving a male actor who gets a bit... er... carried away, but other than that I don't think I laughed once. Hell, I like a good sex comedy as much as the next guy, but this is not a great sex comedy. It's terrible. Awful, awful, awful. Shame on Ealing Studios being associated with such toss. (You see what I did there?)
Michelle Ryan looks very nice, though. Check out the picture above. (Pynchon plays a bit of Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady".)

I go to a pub just by Ealing Studios on Monday nights, I'll give them the Vs from you tonight :-) Still, they did give us Shaun of the Dead for which I'm tempted to forgive them.
I was surprised when you were singing its praises, it looks like a pile of shit from the trail.
Michelle Ryan does look hot doesn't she? The Bionic Woman series should be watchable at least, even if it's shit.

You had me going at the beginning...but phew my suspicisions were well founded with the phrase "I Want Candy" is a piece of shit.
Nevermind... did you ever expect it would actually be any good?
