The Half-Arsed Olympics
So the Commonwealth Games are on in Melbourne... just like a half-arsed Olympic Games. Some people say that having countries that you have never heard of finishing miles behind the rest of the field is what makes the Comm Games unique. I say its what makes them half-arsed. Of course the Australian media are are making the most of screwing it up for the rest of the country/world. I say 'Comm' Games because it seems that three syllables are too much for the average tv presenter or commentator. I can't wait until we have the Foot World Cup this year, the Rug World Cup next year and the O Games the year after (and there is the Melb Come Festival soon). Of course not content to shorten the name it seems that the medal ceremonies only have an australian component. If an Aussie wins gold then that's all we see, or gold and silver then we see them. Poor non-australians who win bronze... pfffft.

Of course the Commonwealth is basically a group of countries that England conquered so that they would have someone to play cricket against... and they dont even have cricket at the games!!

However, the free stuff around the games has been superb. A Festival with heaps of free entertainment all over the city, day and nite - and not a medal ceremony to be seen.

Movie Review: Match Point
Unless you have a thing for Scarlett Johansson, who gives her best performance(white linen blouse... lotsa rain) since she was the voice of Princess Mindy in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, then I can save two hours of your life. DONT GO!.
Is tedious, with two dimensional characters and an unbelievable plot. Woody, go back to making movies in New York!
