So they're just closing for a month to refurb - confusing wording though! xx

Cellar 35 are closing up shop :(. https://www.facebook.com/Cellar-35-120556733157/?fref=ts xx

Meant to throw this in there too, but the movie IS catching some genuine criticism for being a bit racist. Yes, there's an all-female cast, but that cast is still made up of 3 white scientists and one sassy black girl from da hood. http://www.polygon.com/2016/7/21/12239704/ghostbusters-is-still-haunted-by-negative-racial-tropes xx

Good question. I'd say that it is, but only IF you went in with an open mind. Like, if you went in being all James Rolfe-ish about it (see video below) and come out saying that, based purely on merit, that it's a shit movie.. then nah. I'd say your biases meant you wouldn't enjoy it regardless of the quality. However, if you went in like "yaaay new Ghostbusters movie and I am happy/neutral on the subject of recasting and rebooting" but afterwards was like "nah, bit shit really" then fair cop I'd say. The real source of friction seems to be the style of the comedy - particularly based on the trailer. It has the same director and a lot of the same cast as Bridesmaids. A movie which I expected to hate but ADORED. It's more of a modern, almost slapstick comedy than the dry wit of the original and people seem to be pissed off that it's not the same. That and the "Ghostbusters is a bit sacred to me" type of mindset seem to be the two main bones of contention that aren't fucking chimps screaming about reverse sexism. BTW: James makes some fairly solid points in the video below, and I'm generally a big fan of his work, but even sitting and calmly making good points about the subject, am I the only one who sees a grown fucking man sulking and spitting the dummy? OPINIONS. XX

Started watching Spotless - new one on Netflix. Loving it so far. Feels a bit like Lock Stock meets Dexter. xx

Jesus, I love the guy's work but I dunno if I love it £50 a ticket's worth! xx

Not all leave voters are racist, but all racists voted leave. More generally - office chat today is refreshingly un-racist (other than the complaints that the Geneva Convention is bullshit and our soldiers should be allowed to kill the fuck out of baddies even if they surrender peacefully...) but one point that's been raised about IndyRef#2 is that, while there have been mutterings from Germany and France that they'd welcome Scotland into the EU, the suspicion is Spain won't and one Veto will block us. Anyone have an opinion on that one? Or any interesting articles to read on the subject from the first time around? I think IndyRef#2 will be more successful because we can answer some of the questions Salmond fumbled over. Currency? Probably the Euro but the Pound is dogshit now anyway. EU? I imagine Sturgeon will have some long chats with all the Veto-holding countries and get answers from them (if she's nae fucking daft she will). My NO voting friends from before did so on the basis that they think Scotland will be better as part of something larger and most seem to agree (aside from the odd fucking moron) that being part of the EU is a fuckload better than being part of the UK. xx

This one actually meet the hype? What I've seen looks pretty ace but I always hesitate to get new FPS games before the price drops as so many of them are amazing for, like, 6 hours then just never get touched again! EDIT: Also, is the campaign any good? xx

Yeah, she's really in a bad way :(. Sad to see anyone in that kind of state, especially so publicly. xx

Am I the only one taking the high road here, hoping for the tragic and untimely demise of relatively young and healthy people? xx

Absolute highlight is at 2:08 in the second video when the dude dancing CLEARLY falls over, but they cut away before impact to try to make it look less embarrassing. Amazing. xx

Heaviest metal I've heard. xx

YOUR BAND IS A BORING RIP OFF OF MY BAND. I hope people start calling each other cunts soon! xx EDIT: calling me a cunt would be acceptable, but less entertaining.

Bad music is the best music! xx

Quite honestly that sounds like amazing fun. xx

You're the best kind of terrible person. xx

Fuck all y'all. I fucking LOVE Chopped! Cutthroat Kitchen is the best one though. You get a wad of cash at the start and bid on penalties for your opponents, and at the end you only win the money you didn't spend bidding. It's amazing. I love seeing the cocky ones strut in claiming that they'd have Michelin stars if it wasn't for THE MAN keeping them down, then they're told they need to cook a fillet steak using a kettle and they lose their shit. Haters gonna hate but I love it. The sob stories can get tae fuck though. xx

Her career would get a lot more... interesting... if she still was! xx

On the subject of Facebook related grievances: when you see an interesting article, click it, read it, return to Facebook with the intention of sharing/commenting/whatever, but it refreshes your timeline and the motherfucker is gone forever. xx

Totally deliberate. The fewer people use the Most Recent newsfeed, the greater control the algorithms have over what you see. xx

GOOD. xx

I'm also definitely adding Rocket League to my wishlist! xx

Started playing Half-Life again. Man, this game really, really deserved all the fanboyism. xx

I play bass and would be keen for a jam, fire over a PM. xx

Who the fuck shows up to the cinema so late that they risk missing actual movie time in the queue? Maybe you should sort your fucking life out and leave me to eat my picnic basket full of popcorn in goddamn peace, assbutt. xx
