List

I have nothing constructive or positive to say so here is a list of things I hate:
The Hobbit
Chase & Status
Scouting for Girls
Chris Martin
V Festival
David Guetta
Alesso
Swedish House Mafia & all of them individually
Armin van Buuren and all of the other producers that sound ball-achingly similar.
Robin Thicke
People who have a problem with people who own Apple products
A middle-aged man I met at the pub who thought The Rolling Stones and The Beatles never made a bad song
Anyone who dislikes Ricky Gervais or Kanye West
Anything that has left Eminem's mouth post 2003
Wax crayons.

The Weeknd- Live For Ft. Drake

The alleged beef with fellow Canadian and sort-of mentor turned out to be largely nonsense, which most of us already knew. The result is another cut from The Weeknd's first proper full-length Kiss Land. Due next month. Feels like a bit of a lazy hype song, sadly. What do you think.

The Hobbit

I never bothered going to see The Hobbit because it didn't tempt me. I didn't like the book. So when I found out old Peter was turning a 400 page book into a three part trilogy I became rather aggravated. LOTR was a bit erm wordy at times and that had three books to draw from. There is an interesting (to me) fact somewhere that represents the seconds of screen time a page in LOTR has to the second of screen time a page in The Hobbit has. Obviously The Hobbit has a lot more because there is a lot less material.
But I've waited until now to watch it for two reasons:
1. It's free. Literally. Every time I don't have money to pay for Netflix I just make a new e-mail address. This month I am 'cooper976isthebest@hotmail.com'. FYI a man trying to flog me 3 months of LoveFilm created this account for me. When I say 'trying' I mean succeeding. I buckled and bought into it.
2. I am a stubborn follower of critic reviews as I believe they know more than little people. So when I saw Rotten Tomatoes 68% rating I ignored it. Even though everyone I know told me it was 'amazing' I knew they would be wrong. They were.

I watched 1 hour 49 minutes last night before a horrendously over-sized moth distracted me from viewing. I owe it thanks. I'd say thank you but I killed it. In n hour all that happened was some singing and a wizard stroked a hedgehog. Shooting in SUPER HD (I made this up) hasn't really helped either and has made everything look a bit well fake, instead of magical. There are still another two and a half films of this to go. Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen are superb as ever, but surely Peter could have resisted the dollar signs and made one incredible three hour film out of this much loved (not by me) book instead of filling it all with large sections of sub-standard dialogue.
BLEEEHHHH.
