I paid off my credit card the other day.

Mutterings continued.
 
And you know what that means -  I've bought more stuff on the net!  Two of Leece's hippogryff totebags and a couple of Professionals DVDs going cheap at Blackstar.
 
Only junk mail in the letterbox today.  V boring.
 
There's a very funny Greenpeace ad on the telly - has Eddie Izzard, Jim Broadbent and a couple of other faces I recognise but can't put names to.  The premise is that they are a group of aliens deciding whether to invade Earth or not.  You can see it
here.  "What's email?"  "An early delivery system for pornography."
 
Matt and Trey's next foray into
films looks interesting. 
 
"The script opens in Paris, where any good MISSION IMPOSSIBLE-esque parody should begin. There's not even too many easy French cracks, although the country does lose its Eiffel Tower and most of the Louvre in the opening sequence. Some terrorists are bedeviling the city, and most of the city is saved by Team America, an “international” peace-keeping force that nevertheless uses the red, white and blue motif on its plane and uniforms, has “America” in its name and even has its own theme song:

Comin’ to save the motherfuckin' day!Fuck yeah, Ame-ri-caaa!

Things go right and then wrong for the team, as some puppets on both sides (French puppets, too!) are violently killed. Something about marionettes cursing and killing one another violently is already inherently funny when you picture this on the big screen, but the ultra-cornball action-flick dialogue makes it even funnier. The chest-beating, flag-waving team of (international) patriots suffers a loss and heads home."
