Plot Holes In Star Wars

Have you ever noticed how in the whole of the last 3 star wars films (IV,V, VI), Darth Vader never turns to C3PO and goes "hey -chhehhoo- arn't you that I built -chhehhoo-" or R2-D2 and says "-chhehhoo- Didn't I used to own this droid -chhehhoo-?"
Or Darth Vader and Luke the second he sees luke hes all "-chhehhoo- Yeah thats my son -chhehhoo-" Because of the genetic link. However with Leia (whos his daughter) he never even noticed.

And one more thing...WHY THE HELL DID GREDO SHOOT FIRST!?!?!

Public Hoildays

The public holiday the ultimate balance between good and evil.
Good because its a day off, but then just to annoy you, they put in the bad aspects everything is either closed, or charging a 15% surcharge. I will admit there are a few honorable exeptions (God bless McDonalds) but otherwise theres nothing to do.
Another thing that pisses me off about Public holidays is that, even though you are paying an extra 15% for Burger King employees to come to work, the sevice becomes intolerable. A good 10 minutes of waiting to recieve 3 burgers that were sat on the warming trays, while 3 people in the drive thru got surved before me, it was ridiculous.

Weighed up the bad aspects clearly out weigh the good,
so im sorry public holidays but you: FAIL!!!

Films based on books

Films based on books. Good idea said someone in the past to a gut who was obviously a smart one. And at the time he was right, because books were shorter with less complicated storylines. Now Film/books are and awful idea. Take Harry Potter as a fine example of the downfall of Film/books. The first, second and thrid one were excellent. The stayed almost religiously to the story of the books. Then the forth one rolled up and that was o.k. a few bits missed out but none-the-less a good film. Then in came number five. The book of 'Order Of The Phoenix' was in my opinion the best of the seven. But the film frankly sucked donkey balls. They missed huge chunks of the book like the sub-storyline of Hagrids halfbrother Grawp, I will admit they didn't completely banish this bit from the film but basicly there was all of one bit that we saw Grawp. Another fine example of a shit Film/book was the Da Vinci Code. I was Hugely impressed with the film when i watched it, but now I have read the book, I feel the film was hugely lacking with a good 1/4 of the book omitted from the film.
Yet another crap Film/book was Eragon. The book again was brilliant, and is one of my personal favorites. However the film may as well have been two hours of a dog having intercourse with a squirel. Entire storylines were cut out, facts changed and things that were vital the the next book were overlooked.

Even though most Film/books suck arse there are a few honerables that were brilliant such as; Die Hard, The Grinch, Dracular, The Godfather, Hunt For Red October, The Green Mile and Lord Of The Rings.

The moral of the story is the best films availible are those which are original storylines or based on true stories.

Films based on books
Overall Score: 4/10

Easter

Easter: They day when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. A very noble thing to do and we should celebrate accordingly. However due to big companies such as Hallmark, the celebration of Easter has become matterial. If you ask a child what Easter means they will most likely say Chocolate Eggs, very few children will say 'The celebration of the redemption of our ancestors'. Because of the state of the world Easter has lost its true meaning, its true purpose, it used to be a joyous celebration of love and togetherness. Unfortunatly these ideals have been thrown out the window to be replaced by chocolate eggs and the easter bunny.

Hallmark is the sole proprietor of this and it is them I am angry at.
Hallmark has distroyed the true meaning of every holiday, from Christmas to Hanukkah by making cheap trinkets and cards.

So Bugger you Hallmark. Go stick your cards where the sun don't shine!
