Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

A laugh right where I needed it

Watched the preview for Just Friends this evening.

My expectations were low. Very low. I find Ryan Reynolds very hit or miss.

But this movie made me laugh my ass off. It's not mature -- the plot is predictable, the writing isn't great and the premise isn't terribly original. But the physical comedy is fantastic. There was some unduly outlandish stuff in it, yet I kept laughing. Why? Because some movies just have good comic timing.

Not for those who take themselves too seriously, or consider their favourite humour to be highbrow, but fuck... there is some funny-ass shit here. And some very fine sibling beatings.

If you don't find any of it amusing, you're likely an uptight prig or dead inside. It's as simple as that.
