Happy Halloween

Can't say I've ever celebrated Halloween, but the dressing up with your DT's over your pants I totally get, so I'm all for it. It is in this light that I wish you a happy Halloween the only way I know how - with the magic of Tengobalia and her leopard headdress.

I don't know why I find these videos so funny. Her face continues to be nearly as disturbing as her sweaty boobies. Watching her dance is like watching an car-crash not set in time to music. Either that or your parents having adult sexual intercourse. But hey that's what Halloween is all about scary strangers coming after you for your candy and sweaty tits.

Watching this I think I finally understand Dances with Wolves.

Ingoriest Basterds

Any film that involves strudel, the consumption of strudel or Kevin Kostner normally tanks at the box office (see Message in a Bottle, The Postman, Tin Cup and Waterworld). But luckily for the genre-raiding self-referencing genius of Quentin Tarantino (not to be confused with Her Excellency Quentin Bryce AO - her films normally feature way more gore and language that can't be shown in a general release) this strudel curse seems to be lifted by his latest effort Inglourious Basterds.

Despite it's slightly bloated running length the film is funny, gory, heavy on Nazi scalping (as opposed to the Nazi bikini waxing of Fran Drescher's underrated The Fanny series of telemovies) and filled with tension. The opening scene in the farmhouse is cracking. But the film would be nothing without the talents of Christoph Waltz. Man that dude can act. Comedy. Villainy. Strudel eating. He can do it all.

My scalps off to you Mr. Waltz. (See what I did there?)

What not to invest your money in during the GFC

The sky is falling, economies are collapsing, bankers may go without their bonuses, Kevin Bacon has no money left - the GFC is now officially and scientifically bigger than KFC. And no one can even agree, is it the GFC, GEC or the IFC? Either way I hope you have your money invested wisely and that you didn't take financial advice from that guy you know who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows Kevin Bacon. Because if so then you are well and truly fucked. But for those who need some advice above are some things I think aren't wise investments right now. If I was you I'd be putting all of your money into Kevin Costner's Water World 2, I know that's exactly what he's doing.
