8 Comments Most Awesome Awful Movie

Article written by the brilliant on the 14 May 2011 in Most Awesome Awful Movie,Review-De-Ville

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about awful movies (I’ve seen some recently, and I am not amused). And it started me thinking about how you can get awful movies that are just bad but you can also get awful movies that are truly awesome. I decided to dedicate some time to this topic and actually do some research into it (first time for everything ;) )

Movie PosterMy two nominees for Most Awesome Awful Movie Ever right off the top of my head are:

Drum roll please…

        • Spaceballs
        • Team America

 

I love these movies. They are awful, epically so, but so much fun!!!

 

So now, I want to hear your nominees. I will watch them all (if I can find them) and write a review on them. I’ve already started with my two nominees. I’ve also created a new page for this search.

 

After I’ve watched the movies, we’ll have a poll. I’m so excited for this :) I love awesome awful movies!!!

 

Leave a comment below for your nominees please.

K’thnxBye

No Comments Michael McIntyre is funny #thatisall

Article written by the brilliant on the 28 Apr 2011 in Just Saying,No Biz Like Show Biz

A while ago I discovered Michael McIntyre and his brand of brilliance. I thought I was special for discovering this gem of a comedian… Turns out everyone else has already discovered him…

Oh well.

He is funny! Ridiculously funny! And really really clever about his comedy.

If you haven’t seen his stuff, what rock have you been hiding under?!?

No Comments The Royal Wedding Dahlink

Article written by the brilliant on the 28 Mar 2011 in Girly Stuff

Engagement RingSo what will you be wearing for the Royal Wedding? I haven’t quite decided yet…

Wait, what? You don’t know why I’m asking about your outfit for the Royal Wedding???

Um, it’s only the biggest event of 2011!  In case you missed the memo, Prince William will be marrying the very lucky Katherine Middleton on the 29th of April in an lavish ceremony with much pomp and ceremony, as only the British Royal Family can pull off. And we’re all invited :) Thanks to the wonders of modern technology of course ;)

Now that we’ve established that we are not all flying to the UK to attend the wedding (only a special 1900 guests will be doing that). And we know that we will be watching in the comfort of our own homes… This is still the Royal Wedding. You cannot, repeat cannot, wear your fluffy bunny slippers and eat chips and drink beer! Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no…. No, just no! No! Once more for luck, NO!

So I repeat, what will you be wearing for the Royal Wedding?

I’m not sure yet, but I think I want new shoes for the day :)

No Comments False Lash-Vertising

Article written by the brilliant on the 07 Mar 2011 in Girly Stuff

It scares me to know how few people actually realise what trickery is going on in the world of advertising. It also scares me that advertisers are allowed to get away with soooooo much lying by using the teensiest of fine print to cover their rears.

A few years ago there was a massive scandal in the world of advertising beauty products (See here for the Kate Moss Mascara-gate Saga). Rimmel Mascara ads were banned and make-up advertisers were told that they had to put disclaimers on all their ads to warn the public that the models wearing the product they are selling you have been enhanced, ei. the model had been photoshopped and their flawless complexion was not as a result of this great new product you are being sold. (Via May Loves Makeup )

The biggest disclaimer which I have always laughed at is the use of false lashes in mascara adverts. I always go looking for the disclaimer because the fine print here really could not be smaller.

See the tiny little strip of white writing? That's the disclaimer making this legal!

Some ads, even though they put the disclaimer have been banned anyway because they are just pushing it too far with the falsies….

(Via: Makeup Savvy )

I know 1 product that can really make your lashes longer like they say in the ad... but it ain't mascara

Now I wonder if anyone will say anything about the latest ad from Maybelline? It’s one thing to use false lashes to sell your mascara and put a disclaimer on the ad… But can you really do this for Maybelline’s latest mascara? It just seems wrong!

 

I do hope the lovely use of irony is not lost on the advertisers!

No Comments How about some respect for Royalty?

Article written by the brilliant on the 17 Nov 2010 in Just Saying

When I heard the news yesterday about the Royal engagement, I was excited and happy for the couple. Call me old fashioned and a hopeless romantic but I think this is all really exciting. The wedding is going to be stunning! You know it is! And Kate Middleton will be marrying a bona fide Prince Charming.

But today I got really down… There is so much negativity about all of this. And so many people are making fun of Kate Middleton! I just can’t understand it. Are people jealous of her? I mean I can understand it if these people are… Kate Middleton is on her way to becoming Queen! Never mind being a princess, she will in all likelihood be the next Queen of England!

I also got upset this morning by some of the incredibly crude things that were said about the future queen. I am a British citizen and my parents are very British and very proud of the fact that we still have a monarchy. So here is where I get old fashioned: YOU JUST DON’T SAY CRUDE THINGS ABOUT THE ROYAL FAMILY! IT JUST ISN’T DONE!!!

So you know what people, please just put a sock in it if you want to be nasty to someone who hasn’t actually done anything worthy of being nasty about. And if you aren’t going to keep quiet, I hope that Queen Kate one day brings back the “Off with their heads” policy and turns it on all the nay-sayers :)

That's right bitches, I'm going to be queen!

I wish all the best to the happy couple for the wedding and their future!
