White Lies – E.S.T

If you tell me to jump then I’ll die
In my dreams I’m there
I always hoped that I’d learn how to fly
In my dreams I’m there

You can tie my hands to the walls
But you can’t tie my dreams to this place
I might fall like a rock from your heart
But you won’t see me fall from grace

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you’re told

If you tell me to jump then I’ll die
In my dreams I’m there
I always hoped that I’d learn how to fly
In my dreams I’m there

I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor
And my fears with the nurse on the stairs
I’m only going where you’ll be some day
So don’t say rest in peace in your prayers

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you’re told

I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you’re told

I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never forget about me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you

Happy Birthday to……

Sarah Michelle Gellar!

 Yes. Buffy herself turns 32 today! I grew up with SMG playing Ms Summers and IMO it’s definitely one of the best shows ever. ( Even if only for introducing to the world David Boreanaz and James Marsters )

(THERE IS, OF COURSE THE AWESOME SPIKE/ANGEL PAIRING. FOR ALL THINGS SLASH I SUGGEST YOU VIST HERE, HERE OR HERE! )

Buffy Sarah had a pretty succesful post-Buffy career in the films starring in: ‘ I know what you did last summer’ , ‘Scooby Doo 1 & 2′, ‘The Grudge’ , ‘Simply Irrestible’ , ‘Scream 2′ and others. I think it’s fair to say though, that her most memorable film role will always be as Kathryn Mertuil in ‘Cruel Intentions’ and that kiss with Selma Blair….

Buffy Sarah hasn’t been making any big movies recently. She married fellow actor Freddie Prinze Jr in 2002 and if rumours are to be believed the couple are now expecting their first child.

Reading 2009!!!

Yeah Baby! Come August bank holiday My sister Melissa and myself will once again be having the time of our lives at Reading Festival! This year we will be joined by SOB and my brother Alex. As the song says, ” Things can only get better messier! Cant. Fuckin’. Wait. When the line up was unveiled last week think there was a lot of jizzing in pants. ( And that was just us girls )

MOVIE REVIEW: Pineapple Express

Released: 12 September 2008

Director: David Gordon Green

Cast: Seth Rogen (Dale Denton) James Franco (Saul Silva)  Danny McBride (Red) Kevin Corrigan (Bludofsky) Craig Robinson (Matheson) Gary Cole (Ted Jones) Rosie Perez (Carol – female cop )

Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city’s most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him–and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they’re not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.

Saul: It’s almost a shame to smoke it. It’s like killing a unicorn… with, like, a bomb.

One thing we need to get outta the way. James Franco : You So Would….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s Franco’s performance that makes a lot of the movie for me. His low level weed dealer Saul could easily have come across as a complete douche. Instead, it’s hard not to fall in love with Saul. He bundles along with a mixture of high intelligence and sweet naivety. Seth Rogen also puts in a gem of a performance. True, his character is not a stretch from those he’s played before – especially ‘Knocked Up’s Ben. The two form such a great duo you find yourself rooting for them with passion.

The film mixes some hilarious dialogue and truly laugh-out-loud set pieces – the fight at Red’s house and cop car chase being two of the highlights – with some real action shoot out and by the end is looking like something Michael Bay could have produced. You almost think you’re watching a serious action film then something will happen such as a slow-mo Dale walking from a building carrying Saul. In his pants.

 

The film has been described as a ‘Stoner Comedy’ but don’t let that put you none-smokers off. In short the film is funny as fuck. That’s high praise coming from a cynical sod like me. Now, I just need to get my hands on some of that Pineapple Express and I might be able to sit through anything….

 

 

It’s like I never went away……

……….Kinda!

But I’m all good, and proof that a few months away from the internet will not cause one to wither and die. It will, however, free up time to work on an already impressive alcohol and partying habit. Hey, what can I say….

So I know you’re all just dying to here what’s been happening. Here’s a few updates:

• ‘White Lies’ still the best band around.

Yes, I know I may go on about this band a lot but seriously – I’m going to convert everyone. The boys scored a #1 album in the UK with ‘To Lose My Life’ and rightly so – its genius. There’s nay a filler on here. The band are fantastic live and they’re  about to get bigger…..

E.S.T Live

Kanye West Cover – better than the Original!

 

• Prison Break

Yeah yeah. I know I’m 5 years late but I finally got round to watching Prison Break. I luff it !  have managed to catch the first 3 seasons ( so no spoilers after that please. Now I can kinda see what people see in Wentworth. He’d still not make my top 10 but hell yeah! Also watching PB has reignited one of my more – unusual – crushes. This guy:

I think it got started by the film ‘Go’ – specifically this scene:

 

• It’s Nearly Summer!!

Well. That’s if we get one this year. Our last two have been none existent. Yes I am one of those people who shows great excitement at the slightest bit of sun. Summer though. What’s not to love??! Cold beer in the pub garden, going to the beach, fit men in shorts, evening BBQ’s with friends, fit men in shorts…
