People say the silliest things
Just been thinking recently of some of the funniest things people have said to me over the years.
I lived and worked in Manchester over a 4 year period, the city is an excellent city, i made lots of good friends and met alot of nice people. 2001 -2003 I worked at Salford Qauys in the Lowry centre next to lowry theatre, War Musuem and across the quay was Old Trafford stadium home of Manchester United
I worked in the cinema which was in the centre, up the stairs and had a 20 foot enterence which said cinema on it. Salford is a true working class area, just like any town and city in UK it has its good things and its share of bad things, but the area is renowned for its scallys, chavs or neds (whatever you call them in your area). As you do as a usher im standing at the enterence into the lobby where the fim screens are and I collect the tickets and send patrons to there screens, so incomes a scally topped out in his latest burberry cap, reebok shellsuit and the bottoms tucked into his white socks and walks up (in a Noel Gallagher walk) to myself and says
“er mate where;s the cinemaa?”
first of all i said to him first “sorry mate I prefer Casulty” basically make a fool of his er part as you know ER the American Medical drama and Casulty is a British Medical drama. The scally hasnt even notice massive neon sign he walked under which said CINEMA, plus the many posters also around the enterence which promoted the current films. It was like that Dom Jolly tv programme Trigger Happy when he does the sketch and stands in front of a 20foot poster of himself saying “Dont trust This Man” and he then asks the public for help, this scally was the same the area was covered in sinage to say you are in the cinema!!! Outside was the canal and a bridge over the canal so I told him to take the escalator downstairs take a left out the centre go halfway over the bridge and go right (which of course meaning he would half to jump in the canal!!!). So he turned around and thanked me and left.
Other crakers Ive heard where in the centre of town I was in the Poundstore (where verything and it was when I just moved to Manchester to go to university and some of my family came with me the weekend I moved as it was only a few hours drive away. It was great as I got alot of food, essentials for my university room, so in the pound store my mum says to me i like these i think ill get them and turns to the store assistant
” excuse me, how much are these?” it didnt dawn on her at first but when myself, sister, niece and brother-in-law and the assistant all started laughing she realised she was in a shop which everything cost £1!!!
In the cinema I heard alot of what I call Homer Simpson talk, silly talk like at the box office there was a offer of buy one movie ticket get one free and a man couldnt understanding what the price of the free ticket cost, he stood and argued with the manager and finally realised the second ticket was free. Other classics
“How much is the free popcorn cost?”
“What flavours are in the Vanilla and choclate chip ice cream?”
“The cinema closes at 11pm theres still 30minutes to go its only 1130pm”
These little Homer simpson talk just make this world a wonderfull and funny place to live.
The last few days the first trailer for Ricky Gervais new film The Invention of Lying has been posted online. The film is set in a reality where no one has ever lied, including politicians right upto the common man or woman. In comes all time looser Mark (Gervais) finds the ability to suddenly lie and he reaps the rewards until everything spins out of control and the whole world depends on every word he says.PLANET 51 – trailer
I like my animation and like it when its a little different and PLANET 51 looks like it’ll be a good one.
We are always seen films and animations about aliens coming to earth and the paranoia of alien invasions, what if the roles where reversed? Well Planet 51 thats what happens when a Shrek like inhabitants of Planet 51 paranoia kicks in and a astronaut from earth, Captain Charles “chuck” baker (voiced by the only and only) Dwayne ‘Rock’ Johnson lands on the planet and he befriends a young resident and helps Capt. Baker avoid capture and get back to his ship and return home.
This will be one enjoyed by evryone as they’ll be jokes the kids will love and the adults will like too. There looks like they’ll spoof up alot of old classic sci-fi, the best one been Planet 51′s pet ‘dogs’ which resemble little Xenomorphs or the things from the Aliens franchise. Theres a massive cast of actors who lend there voice talents to this movie including, sean william scott, justin long, jessica biel, john cleese , Gary Oldman and rupert degas.
The animation is been released by Columbia Pictures and will be out in UK December 4th so this will be one to watch over the Christmas period.
2010 bits
Whilst researching my next post (be on online hopefully next 24 hours), I was browsing throught the movie magazines and 2010 there alot of interesting (if not excellent) film projects on the way.
I was disappointed with the first film and havent seen Prince caspian but next year Voyage of the Dawn Treader which is regarded as the best of the bunch as its set on the sea and the films heros will be up against dwarves, merfolf and lost warriors as they edge closer to the edge of the world, unfortunately December 4th is when well be able to see it on the big screen.

The Box – Trailer 1 online
The first trailer for Cameron Diaz’s Horror/Sci-fi THE BOX has been posted on line. The film also stars James Marsden (X-Men) and Frank Langella (FrostVsNixon).
“Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger, delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. But, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don’t know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity” – Warner Bros for IMDB
The film is directed by Richard Kelly who brought us the fantasically dark Donnie Darko back in 2001 and the film is based on a short Story by Richard Matheson called Button,Button (he also wrote I am Legend, Shrinking Man) who is one of my favourite authors.
The films is been released by Warner Bros and will be out in UK December 4th
