Dec. 19th, 2003 10:27 pmFirst day at McDonalds went okay, except for the whole hating every minute of it part. And £4 an hour is less than minimum wage (I think restaurants are exempt from that any how)
It will be the death of me so I've decided I can only hack it for a couple of weeks, i.e. till the end of December, then I'm leaving January free.
Got to see 'Five Little Pigs'. I would compare it to the book except Mum has lost the copy. Which lead to me finding out she'd been rooting under my bed. Yo, Mum, my room, my stuff, leave it alone.
Anyway a short review - Aiden Gillen's character had the worst haircut ever. But he was good.
Toby Stephen's cannot act, but he looks damn good while being unable. He can stay.
Marc Warren wasn't playing a creepy, psycho-sexual type of character. But the character was still highly strung and nervous. (PS - These are the best pictures I can find of him, his face might ring a bell - http://www.sutv.zaq.ne.jp/maze/gallery.html)
The female actors were all fantastic. I would put names to the faces but IMDB hasn't and I can't get to the video.
The make-up crew need to go back to beauty school to learn how not to make their female characters look like hag-ridden zombies.
I really need to get a copy of the book to see if the writers were just texting subtext or whether they were just adding in some of the romantic subplots for the hell of it. Knowing Christie there's probably barely enough to even count as subtext but enough to justify what they did.
The scipt needed to be burnt, it was awful.
The plot made sense, even if the eventual villan did not. Good use of red herrings, leading to me saying that anyone could have done it which Mum said was the whole point.

Sir Ian McKellen and Johnny Vegas are both on Jonathan Ross tonight. Wigan v St. Helens. And a prime example of why we hate their guts. Because they have to be better than us at everything, even celebrities. Proper actorly type with gazillions of awards and charm, sophistication and general cool versus a deeply unfunny commedian with a drink problem.
We hates Wigan my precioussss.
(PS: Most of that was a joke.)
