Just watched this “Masterpiece”. Ugh. I want my 2 hours back. Between the awesome fight scenes, the constantly re used footage (action sequences where they cut back to the same shot they JUST showed you to make it look dramatic), downright bizarre gruff ‘n grizzled cop banter and Chuck Heston’s wicked stylish grimy ascot – I just couldn’t possibly say anything more. Oh wait, I just looked something up… Chuck Heston was 55 in this movie, the chick he hooks up with 27. Bow chicka wow wow!
Ick factor 11. And not very believable… At all. Even for Chuck Heston. Avoid this movie like you would Soylent Green – knowing that Soylent Green is made of people. Spoiler alert, sorry. Hey I just saved you 2 hours of your life. You should thank me.
Well I had the best vacation ever at the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Canada this past New Years. Check out the pictures in the Photo above, or here. It’s been busy lately and I just got to these photos now. Needless to say it was an amazing adventure, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, hiking, dog sledding, bowling the list goes on! Great food, the best elk tenderloin I’ve ever had in my life – at The Maple Leaf – it was wrapped in bacon. Everything is better wrapped in bacon… Anyway, between the food, the adventures, the views and the kind folks who work a the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel – it truly was the best vacation I’ve ever had. If you’re thinking about going anywhere on vacation, see if there is a Fairmont property somewhere near it, you won’t find better service anywhere, and if you sign up for the President’s Club – it’s free! You’ll get crazy discounts, and free in room wifi. Not bad. Now if they could only wrap the free wifi in bacon…
I’ve said many things about what I think of facebook. Just re-watched the IT Crowd in it’s entirety. This video says it all so well.
