Cry Babies

I’d like to nominate people crying.

Recently noticed a lot of tearful types – hitching voice, tears streaming down their chops, bawling their fuckin’ eyes out, and when I realise why, its Brexit! Or some TV show or someone hasn’t bent over backwards because of their race, sexuality or beliefs!

Now I’m not heartless and everyone has a blub at some point in their life – death of a family member, extreme pressure, etc. However, call me old fashioned, but men shouldn’t be scriking their eyes out unless for a valid reason. It embarrasses me to see another man cry…makes me feel uncomfortable!

Unless your life is like a blues song, you’re back from a war, or someones died, dry yer eyes, toughen up, be a man and stop being a mardarse!

Peaky Blinders (BBC TV show)

Peaky Blinders is a cunt of a series, isn’t it?

Typical Al Beeb money-saving, budget tv: same grimy road shots, same fire blasting out of the same furnace, same pub and canal angles, shoestring bollocks. However, they didn’t spend the saved cash on writers.

In Peaky “Fookin” Blinders’ first couple of series it was daft: Sam Neill was a charmless Northern Irish policeman (Al Beeb not sympathetic to Narrthern Oireland); Winston Churchill wandering about, being corrupt, paying off people (Al Beeb never sympathetic to Winnie); Benjamin Zephaniah as a Rasta poet …erm, frequent in 1919 Birmingham (Al Beeb not sympathetic to historical truth).

Cillian Murphy is a boring actor. Lots of slow-motion shots of his Holocaust cheek-bones looking like Skeletor-in-a-flatcap while Auntie Polly acts like she’s the matriarch from Scouse comedy ‘Bread’.

Then it went ludicrous: Tom Hardy as a hammy, swaggering Jewish butcher; a token pretty millionairess who falls for the Skeletor bad guy; a lovely camp of gýppos, charming but poor, strong pîkey values, but moral and Zzzz….

Now it has a bigger Netflix budget for liberalism: Oswald Moseley storylines, Britain bad, foreigners good, etc. The writer even talks about, “the rise of nationalism, populism, fascism, racism blah blah – a huge sweep across the world… And you look at the world now.

Maybe, not such a great idea.” Zzzz.

Let’s not even begin to talk about the wonky accents..it’d be like sticking a pin in a map of the British Isles.

It’s had some decent bits, but has succumbed to the inevitable finger-wagging, moralising horse-shit. Thank goodness Al Beeb is there to correct our thoughts. From silly enjoyable drama to crippling mediocrity.

Peaky “PC” Blinders.

The Middle East

I’m sick to bloody death of hearing those three little words ‘the Middle East’. It’s a term that has become synonymous with misery, violence, and corruption.

For decades, if not centuries, the region has been wracked by political instability and religious intolerance, often exacerbated by meddling and interference by one or other of ‘the major powers’ in pursuit of their own interests. Despotic, tin pot regimes abound, propped up by fabulous oil wealth or religious fanaticism, or both.

Wars, civil wars, and insurrections are the order of the day from Iraq to Syria via Yemen and Kurdistan. Israel is locked in a state of perpetual hostility with her ‘neighbours’. All of this has generated a huge ‘refugee’ crisis which has placed a massive burden not just on the likes of Jordan and Lebanon, but which has spilled over into Europe, fuelling tensions here.

Now, with Iran hijacking shipping in the Persian Gulf and (allegedly) attacking Saudi oil installations with drones, we’re told that The Don’s trigger finger is getting itchy, and that the region’s once again ‘near to war’. There’s a surprise.

The Middle East’s a stinking shithouse. What a cunt.

The 1975

The 1975.

No not the year, I wasn’t alive then so can’t comment. I’m talking about the supposedly environmentally conscious pop band by the name ‘the 1975’.

There’s a few reasons for these new age, beta male, rent boys being cunts. The two I’m going to highlight, are for being hypocrites and for putting a recorded essay on their album from ISAC’s favourite climate mong, Greta ‘fetal alcohol syndrome’ Thurnberg.

Of all people, David Davies actually called these soy drinking, soft lads out by asking how they planned to travel for their world tour given their concerns over carbon emissions. Of course they have not replied.

Unsurprisingly, there were social media warriors quick to defend them, saying that the band and Greta, were working hard to try and make the world a better place. What, by jetting around the world to take in millions of pounds from doe eyed sheep who’ll listen to any shite that’s supposedly music, or from a 16 year old, retarded, school truant who’s sailing to America on a £4 million super yacht to preach about too many cars on the road?

Fucking wankers.

Films

So I glanced the septic tank that is Twitter today to see numerous reactions to the upcoming “blockbuster” ‘Terminator Dark Fate’, the second trailer. The reactions were all positive. I was intrigued. I watched and….

* I couldn’t believe how bad the dialogue and acting was from Linda Hamilton
* The special effects are outclassed by ‘Terminator 2’, released in the early 90s.
*Oh there is Arnold, looking old, bored and just wanting the nice pay cheque. Looks like he’s baking a shit too.
*Why does every “blockbuster” trailer these days have the same booming sounding effect, like a synthesised trumpet or a super mutant turbo elephant farting into a galactic sized test tube.
*And why is that followed with quick fade in/fade out shots of action that ends in this crescendo noise. Is it one guy in a shed and laptop who makes all these trailers for studios on Windows Movie maker?
*Another movie having a dig at men, misandrists still don’t exist in the media’s eyes I guess.
*Why am I not feeling the awesomeness others say it is?

There have always been shite films. I took a date to see Batman and Robin, for God’s sake. I even watched ‘On Deadly Ground’ with Steven Seagal when sober, but has big budget films ever been this monotonously dull and overly glorified? It’s not just this Terminator guff to be fair. I could give many examples.

The creativity is sorely lacking from reboots, to remakes, to sequels, to some special effects that somehow look inferior to effects done decades earlier.

What’s going on? Is the film industry a cunt or am I a bigger cunt than originally thought?
