Bridesmaids

I don't know about you but I loved The Hangover. Part 2 not so much, but the first film was refreshing, funny, smart and revitalised the comedy film with a new take.  We know now that it can't be replicated successfully, as Part 2 clearly showed.

Bridesmaids was touted as this years 'female hangover'. That is a very high accolade for a film lead by an entire female comedienne cast.  I have been wanting to watch it for ages, what could be funnier than fantastic comediennes from the US who have cut their teeth in the SNL circuit?

From the first 30 minutes, I felt they went for the obvious.  Silly and crazy sex and a very nasty diarrhoea sequence all felt like they were just going for the gross/crude comedy audience.

What followed was cleverly crafted sequences that really got how women really behave to a tee (with exaggerations for movie comedic effect of course).  Some wicked lines and hilarious parts of this film that also made me tear up a bit.  Having organised a wedding a couple of years ago, I know the stress and the madness that can drive a woman crazy from the bridezillas to the over zealous best friends.

In particular the drunk airplane scene is quite funny.  Really go and watch it peeps.   Women comediennes at their best.

Its also worth watching the credit sequence.

Faeces-Gate

Only 2 days into the New Year, I have the worst experience.


I live in an eco-friendly building, we have a shared wash room with washers and dryers for all residents to use.  Its to small and there aren't enough washers/dryers for everyone and very often we have to queue to use them.


I decided to do a bit of washing before work starts on the 4th, and because I had the time to do so.


I go down to the wash room in the basement with my trolley of clothes and all my washing tablets, gels, powders and the like.


I open the first machine door to find a giant shit in the bowl.  Not only that, when I take a closer look as I can't believe my eyes to see 2 giant shits. Now, someone either took 2 shits in the machine, or 2 people did it into one machine.
It stinks.  The smell wafts above my head and lingers long after I slam the door shut.


This is beyond foul and disgusting and revolting.  I have never in my lifetime experienced such nastiness.  We all share that room, included the shitting offenders.  Why ruin something you also use?


I wrote a sign and placed it on the machine before taping it shut.  I made many complaints to the building management as well as security teams, all of whom said they could not help with the issue.


Why the fuck do I even pay service charge if no one is willing to sort this shit out!!!
