h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So you're a hitman for a Russian mob boss. You're the best there is.

You fall in love, you get retired , you get married.

Then your wife dies.
You're alone with your beautiful car and a puppy she gave you.
And the idiot son of your former employer steals your car and kills your puppy.

Much killing ensues.



This is one of the advantages of having an unlimited cinema card thingy: you can go see pretty much any movie you want, and if it turns out not very good, all you've lost is 2 hours of your life.

Like for example if you go watch Ninja Turtles.

But the hitman movie, John Wick, I really rather enjoyed.
It *is* violent (enough for it to be rated "not for under 12s" over here), but well made and it ends on a nice touch.

Watching Ninja Turtles, it's not just two hours of your life, it's the brain damage.

"So you're a hitman for a Russian mob boss. You're the best there is"
I TOLD them that I wanted to remain incognito
new identity needed now shucks!

Oh dear, and there was me thinking the Ninja Turtles might be fun. I It's pure nostalgia isn't it? I must be getting old.

I saw "Nightcrawler" on Monday. Truly epic camera work, and great acting all around. If the mindset among freelance filmers of accidents and murders is at all like what the film portrayed, then I need to be *very* careful when I go out at night.

On Tuesday, I saw "Birdman," which seems to fall somewhere between Tennessee Williams and magic realism.

I like to see movie trailers so I know which movies to avoid. Hitmen and assassins make for boring cinema, in my opinion. After the first two or three murders, you know they're not going to vary the pattern much. Rather than stay for the first twenty minutes and then leave, I save my money and go to other kinds of movies....

Oh Prof! I blew your cover!

Sol, it's not even nostalgia. The cartoon ninja turtles from 20 years ago were at least a little pretty. These new ones look like the love child of Rambo and a giant tortoise or something.

Paulh, I wouldn't say it was boring. Repetitive, yes, but not boring.
... If that makes any sense.

s'ok loveI'll just don a cape and put my underpants on the outsidemaster of disguise

Make sure you're wearing clean ones, then!
