Vision In Blue

It's about that time again... to sift through the hundreds of movies coming out in 2017 and start planning how I'm going to afford all the popcorn that will be required! I don't know how I'm feeling about all the remakes I've seen... especially Sister Act, I'm really hoping that that one is a horrible horrible joke. I would assume that there are a lot of films that are due to come out that I won't have seen online, as with my 2016 list. But let's get started! January 20th: Split - James McAvoy looking particularly scary. M. Night Shyamalan, could go either way. 20th: Table 19 - Wedding comedy with Anna Kendrick, I enjoy both of those things! 20th: xXx Return of Xander Cage - Wait... isn't he dead? February 10th: The Lego Batman Movie - Another one that got an automatic slot on the list. Possibly the only time this year I won't be disappointed by a DC character. 17th: The Dark Tower - I'm nervous... Stephen King ...

Score one for being super organised. for months I've had a ticket stuck on my fridge door... and after all that time I nearly forgot about it. It's all very well being really organised but it does help if you remember when you're actually going! So Saturday saw me taking a trip to Colston Hall in Bristol to see Sarah Millican's show Outsider. It's a lovely venue and I'll definitely be booking tickets to see something else there. There's nothing quite like being serenaded by a three piece band when you walk in the door. The crowd was what you'd expect... I'm not being judgemental, after all I'm about to tar myself with this brush too... barely anyone under the age of 30, groups of women or couples and small clusters of gay men. My kind of people. We're not rowdy, we don't do raucous behaviour... we generally only do laughing until we're worried we might pee a little. Although there was an anecdote about one of her crowds getting...

Joe is an ordinary boy, who loves his mum and wants her to be happy. So when she finds out they've closed the park she works in all he wants to do is find out why, and how it can be fixed. It sounds exactly like the way every great political career should start, with concern and a drive to make things better. "Oh, will you shut up, you bumbling great warthog!" With that one line, Joe is thrust into the public eye and goes viral... the internet kind, not the ill kind. Maybe it's not the done thing for a kid to stand up to an adult like that, but he has some good points. All he wants to do is save that park for his mum, and for kids like him who want to have fun... and when it looks like he's going to get what he wants he's so excited by what the prime minister is saying to him that he signs the bit of paper put in front of him and becomes the Accidental Prime Minister. It's happened to all of us hasn't it? We sign bits of paper without read...

I love stand-up comedy, I remember enjoying Jasper Carrott and Lenny Henry when I was younger and its stayed with me. "Who's your favourite comedian?" I wouldn't ask you who your favourite child was so don't ask me such a difficult question! I tried to narrow it down but it won't happen... the best I can do is a selection of my favourite comedy moments. - Jasper Carrott's magmaloo - Morecombe and Wise's breakfast sketch - Michael McIntyre walking the bus route - Bernard Black's wine lolly - Four candles - Harry Enfield and Ronnie Corbett "My blackberry is not working" - Drunk English in an Indian restaurant - Rhod Gilbert's luggage - Doc Brown singing pretty much anything - I Like Trucking - Who's On First - Abbott and Costello spitting water In The Navy - Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock - By the power of Greyskull! So many I haven't listed... I've been looking for others but I've been going on ta...
