Mads Mikkelsen to play Thor 2 villain
It’s been a big day for Marvel baddie news, with the announcement that Mads Mikkelsen will be joining Tom Hiddleston’s Loki as a Thor 2 baddie…
Oh my god. Seriously? Please let this be true.
I can deal with this!
Is Branagh directing?
No, not Branagh this time. Alan Taylor, who directs Game of Thrones.
I have no idea what I’m having for dinner, but it’s certainly not the lasagne I thought I’d picked out of the freezer.
A: Because it will be 2 o’clock in the morning and I don’t think my neighbours would appreciate that.
I will start with saying that I love this album. I love the name dropping of Damien Rice, and I especially love the songs that are quite obviously inspirations from the greats; Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley, The Postal Service, Jack Johnson etc. My problem is in one song; “Wake Me Up”.
And I know you love ‘Shrek’ because we’ve watched it twelve times,
And maybe you’re hoping for a fairytale too.
And if your DVD breaks today,
We should have got a VCR.
Because I’ve never owned a Blu-Ray, truth say.
Hmm… this sounds like the sort of pretentious shit a little indie kid born in the ’90s (and thus never experiencing a video cassette first-hand would say to impress his friends by being so, so, very, expertly “retro”. A little Googling found Ed Sheeran to be born in 1991. I am not surprised.
Here’s a couple of things to learn, kiddo:
1) If a DVD breaks, the worst thing to do is buy a VCR. “VCR” stands for Video Cassette Recorder, thus even if your Digital Versatile Disc has broken from over-playing it, buying a tape player will not rectify that problem. Dick.
2) If by “VCR” you meant “VHS” (or by “DVD” you meant “DVD player”) then you should know that your enjoyment of watching ‘Shrek’ over and over again would have probably ceased long before your 12th viewing. VHS did not hold out (in terms of quality playback) over repeated viewings unlike more modern equivalents like, let’s say… oh I dunno, DVDs?
3) That’s great that you’ve never owned a Blu-Ray (bullshit, by the way. But beside the point) but Blu-Ray (players and discs) have absolutely fuck all to do with getting a VCR because YOUR FUCKING SHREK DVD (or DVD player) BROKE!
Silly, silly boy.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), I still can’t stop listening to this album on repeat. God, I hope my cassette deck doesn’t break, or I might have to buy another physical CD copy of this 12” record from the iTunes store.
