Mittins Loves Michael Cera

Michael Cera is quite possable my future husband. we would live over here but he would continue to be funny in Hollywood. maybe I don’t want to marrage him, but just live inside his shirt pocket that has a small hole in it so i can see out with tiny bunoculars. but also I would be very small, about the size of stuart little !

the telelvivivvion sow ‘Arrested Development’ is quite possable the best televison show america has produced. but it is also possible the creators of this show were too glorious. the show was cancelled. it was like trying to feed a eight year olds birthday party a fine array of aged cheeses, when all they was used to was old microwaved frankfurters.

 

fun fact – mitton has still not seen the final episodes of arresteted development. the thought that i have unseen treasure awaiting me comforts me.

i also have several love letters i have never read, and a can of crystal pepsi, as yet unopened.

so what now for the brilliant michael cera?

michael once was infact, alia shawkat, a girl.

i have strayed from the topic which is michael cera. well i did just see him in this video which to me is a lovely rendition of events which unfolded on the set of i heart huckabees. you can also it over there, on the right and down a bit where our vodpods are. down a bit.

he also has a website www.clarkandmichael.com where he lives on the internet with his bff clark. i live at home with my family.

i know alot of you are wondering, why am i writing about this? i don’t know why. i could have written about christian slater but there are only so many hours in my work-day ! tomorrow, frieand.

i guess i just wanted to put it out there. that michael cera is funny and in the future i believe you will all know it and i will be sitting in an armchair, by a roaring fire, sipping on 12yr old whisky, and chuckling to myself. the lights will be dimmed.

signing off,

mittins.

where that mitton done gone

today was a normally such a happy day. but it was just a hap of a day. people rejoiced in the streets, as they knew it was another super monday, the day of The Cauldron. but alas, it was a cauldron sans mitton. absent, for noble activities. shocks were felt across the fleetwaves. tears were shed. about a shed load were shed. those melancholy clouds. but your one, o’shenanigans, soldiered on regardless, chin up indeed, cwoffe in hand and served up a delicious musical stew. just like back in the long hot winter of ’73. baked in the hot gas oven that is the old fleetfm, the recipe is as follows:

wendy’s big burger bonanza

as the mitton said, your one shenanigans saw the filum ’28 weeks later’, and what follows was to be a considered review of said movie. however, after reading the mitts’ comprehensive review i feel that i should perhaps turn my attention to my post-movie activities, namely, the satiation of my post-movie hunger via a ‘meal’ procured from the wendy’s food chain.

having never used the drive thru feature offered by the larger of the fast food chains (as i don’t frequent such establishments; politics, dontchaknow), and in serious need of nourishment after enduring the above feature, i decided upon patronising the Dominion road Wendy’s for my repast, confident in the knowledge that i could order/pay/pick-up quicker than i can change my cotton socks, and then journey homeward to stuff the face hole. as well as the novelty of the ‘drving thru’, the decision to sample wendy’s fare was also made on the spurious basis that my fave 80’s pop icon (and subject of First True Love (not including imaginary girlfriend, one ‘Rasp’) was the Wendy James, former lead singer of Transvision Vamp, current lead singer of Racine, and i liked the symmetry. Regular listeners of the cauldron on fleetfm will no doubt have commented on my very healthy appreciation of this lady’s all round splendidness. a veritable spunk.

to the food, then. I ordered a simple chicken burger, complete with fries and a beverage (i have no truck with hamburgers. Where does the ham come into it?). Such was my hunger that i delved straight into the branded brown bag and crunched on chips, as i turned right down dom rd. If i were to describe my reaction as i muched that first fry, it would be ’emergh’. It tasted much as i would imagine a deep fried twig wood. A ha. Several grimaces later, i arived home, and opened a guady foil-esque wrapper containing the ‘burger. The chicken affair. As well as keeping the product tepid, the foil also acted as a high tech recepticle to trap any airbourne moisture and transfer to the bun. Maybe this is designed that way to keep the single sad leaf of lettuce limp and the sliver of tomato tense. As mentioned, the bap was crap. Damp. The chicken pattie was also affected by the steam, and as a result was chewable at best. As to any flavour, it was bereft. Luckily, by this point, i had dismissed any expectations. Need i comment on the carbonated sugar saturated beverage? It was just that. But with ice.

To conclude then, the food quality matched the movie marvolously, and as such i am left reasonably content with the symmetry of my evening. Would i revist the Wendy’s? i think not. even more so since i discovered of the homophobic nature of the FFG (fast food giant), during my research. Apparently, when Ellen Degeneres ‘came out’ as a lesbot on her hit show, the imaginitively titled ‘Ellen’, the FFG pulled it’s sponsorship. poor, i say. poor.

post script: although i didn’t really expect WJ to hand me my order from the Collection Window, i’d be fibbing if i said my fingers weren’t crossed in some vain hope that the vamp were on staff that night..

28 weeks later

last night shenanigans and myself were invited to a vieweing of the film ’28 weeks later’. it is a sequel to ’28 days later’.

except this time, it is weeks.

in the film, when english peoeple bite each other they get rabies, and run very fast in large groups looking for new peeople to bite. but soon everybady is running out of peoeple to bite, because of the no-bagsies-no-returns rule of rabies.

when the film begins, there are only a handful of english people left and the american army has come to rehabilitate england. they have lots of camoflage, guns, sunglasses, and helicopters. one englash family that got survived of the rabies is being helped by the americans and this is the basis of the next hours or so of the film.

 

one good thing that this film has brought to the zombie genre, is that these zombies can run very fast.

normally, zombies is all slow. but these zombies is fast. also, they don’t moan like normal zombies, they scream very loud. and they is very alert. old zombies are slow, and moan, and are kind of sluggish.

these ones is fast.

apart from this development in zombies, the film was dumb.

i didnt even want to go but we got free tickets and even then i knew i shouldnt go. i dont know why the film was made, and i only watched it because i was comfortable in the seat and i couldnt get enough quiet to sleep instead. the film had no people in the story that i didnt want to get rabies – they could all get rabies as far as mitton was concerned! also, there wasnt even any scary bits. apart from this bit :

when that bit happened i got a littel fright.

towards the end of the film, i was excited because i knew that soon there would only be the main characters left and the film would end. this is exactly what happened. all the rabies went away and everyone was safe again. even all the peoeple that died. even all of the rabies. everyone was happy again. and there was even a refund on all the bullets and grenades.

in conclusion, this film was dumb and i give it only 2 spells out of 5. only see this movie if you take ear plugs so you can have a sleep. also make sure you take a eyes mask, a wollen hat and some mittens. but not mittins, because i will not see this film again !

signing off.
