It may be considered a classic, but I am afraid it is a piece of shit
Rant // Jim // 28th May 2003
Stop believing everything you are told and start to exercise your critical facilities, just because conventional wisdom says that something is good doesn’t mean you have to like it.
Go on - try forming your own opinion, you’ll feel much better, honest.
In the short term you may have no friends, but eventually everyone will know you were right.
Probably after you are dead though.
---Films---
The Birth of A Nation - Considered one of the most important films made by many
cinema experts, also used as a recruitment film by the KKK. Say no more.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - Evil Reaganist/Thatcherist nightmare including
the oldest “teenagers” committed to film.
Casablanca - Play it again... and I’ll break your fucking fingers
ET - The only thing that made me cry was the quality of the pirate video.
Raging Bull - I really want to like this, but I am afraid I don’t. Sorry.
---Music---
What's the Story Morning Glory - Over-hyped Beatles tribute
cack, not a single song on this is worthy of licking the balls of anything off
their first album.
Or any other album for that matter.
Pet Sounds - I spent ten pounds on this and it is making my head hurt... a lot.
Do They Know Its Christmas? - Worthy? Questionable. Dogshit? Certainly.
Tonight thank God you won’t have to sit through Live Aid this summer.
Frank Sinatra - Talking slowly and loudly doesn’t constitute singing, referring
to your penis as “big frankie” is a bit sad too.
---
Any Other Business---
Shakespeare - Speak English boy.
Wagner - Music best used for frightening naughty children.
Michael Jackson - Man best used for frightening naughty children.

what about sports?. well as you ask, here’s what i think:
gerard houlier (and all the shit players he bought last season)
gary mcallister (played wank last season, his performance as manager was even worse though)
and before i go, he’s not considered good or nuffin’ but tim westwood is a giant dollop of cold dogs wank.

The Beatles. Just fuck off and die. Oh, some of you already have.

2001 Space Odyssey - the monolith, the baby at the end and oh my god all those swirrling colours. People may rave about it but watch it too much and it’ll send you mad!
Well I’m at it what about Monty Python - for those men that think they are young boys and cool to like stupid humour. Overrated. Just get over it.
And to finish .. my last gripe. Ask Jeeves. Stupidest search engine I’ve ever come across. Designed for people that think they are posh and like a butler pandering to their needs. Never comes with anything useful. Just shit.

oh er uhmmmph....
excuse me mrs peel !!!
the ending of 2001 is a masterpiece of conceptual avant garde film making (hehheheheh) and is not meant to be understood by mere enhabitants of this dimension - just ask stanley j - he’d back me up ......

COLDPLAY.
the r word?
RADIOHEAD.

I think we may be entering the realm of the over-rated band - a subject that wiil be receiving the proper attention of paper-jam in the very near future…
Jim : 03/06/2003 23:00:00
No. Radiohead, not overrated. Just shit. Same with Coldplay. Maybe we’ll have to disagree about this one....
Also, DFA-produced much feted NYC band The Rapture are shit, despite the predictable dick-sucking from the press and some websites. Have we mentioned the Vines yet? Jesus.
steve : 04/06/2003 22:11:06
nooooooo no nono
radiohead are good.
i also like the vines.
coldplay’s first album is good, the second is worthy of being shoved up my cats arse and being shat out again.
listen to the bends, if you dont like it then by all means beat it round your enemy’s face till his eyes and his mouth look like each other.

uhhh… if we widen it out to films, “apocalypse now” is one from the canon that is sadly overrated i’m afraid. They say it’s not about how long it is, but how long it feels (settle down at the back...) - imagine forever, plus about ten minutes, and you’re about there with the length of this.
I gave up caring who lived or died, just as long as I didn’t die before the fucking thing ended. So I turned it off five minutes before the end.
But hey, it’s got Harrison Ford looking very young at the start of it.
