A Welcome Message from Mike and Joe

On a trip to the lake district last year, we began making a "radio show" which basically summarised the events of that particular day. It was "broadcast" or played really loud in the house we were staying in, and after the trip we put it on iTunes as a podcast (Mike and Joe in the Lake District Show) for the group who went to download as a sort of souvenir type thing.
But for some reason, we had like 50 people download it, which was about 40 more than we expected. And its probable gone up since then.
So we decided to do a blog as well, just in case anybody still cared.

Chick Flick


As a group we often get together to watch a film, or three (Lord of the Rings). The past two occasions it has been the cringe worthy genre of chick flickyness.

The first film was Hitch


I could explain the plot of the film, but it is obvious. Guy likes girl, can't get girl because of X, Y or Z, ends up getting with girl.
Not only is the film terrible, but since you don't require any attention span to watch everyone talks, and when I say everyone I mean Amy.
"Where have I seen her from"
"What film has he been in"
It goes on and on...

Once we have figured out that the actor was in West Wing or something, we return to watching the film. Even though we have missed the past 5 minutes of drivel, you can pick up the film easily.

The second film in said chick flickyness is How to Loose A Guy in 10 Days


This follows the same pattern, even the characters have the follow the same personality. The guy is rich and has a jockish persona, and the girl is the independent "I don't need a man" type.

This film was so bad that we stopped watching it after 40 minutes, and without watching the rest of it the ending is incredibly predictable, the guy gets the girl.

Films need to have a good story line, impressionable characters, some special effects, and no "I want you but can't have you"

If we ever watch Twilight, I shall disown my group of friends and become a priest.
Joe
