It doesn't really sustain, but there's a lot of t'riffic darkly humorous stuff in it. |
Sounds like my type of film.
Light, yet with an underlying meaning.
I enjoy the duality of mixing a simple story with a social comment, if it works.
Dark is good as well; well, anything really, as long as it does not feel like a sociological comment upon the state of the nation.

As Havak has pointed out, Graham Henry will work on strengthening their pack. Unfortunately, given his history of poor people management skills, he might not end up with a pack. 'Twill be interesting, though, to see how and where Carlos' freestyle approach fits into Henry's plans. If anywhere. |
Three points.
1)Can't I jump upon the Finbar "Rip the kiwi express."
I have a ticket here somewhere, honest.
2) You know that Havak might take that as a validation of Austin Healey.
3)Good bench-warmers are hard to find.

Another very bad news for the French team, Dimitri Yachvili still seems to be considered as the lead Half-Scrum of the French XV... |
Well, let's not worry too much. He may still hurt himself until then. Or play better? No, that one looks unlikely.
I'm afraid Yachvili could perform correctly in the championship, but he's unable to play under the pressure that the English or Irish for instance will put on him.

The second surprise, the first one being a bad one, is also coming from Italia where Trevise has earned a convincing victory against Bourgoin. |
Trevise is a good team. It's not that surprising, it's more that they are not as famous as they could.
The Stade Francais is below everything this year, so its poor performances in the cup aren't surprising either.

Speaking of which, in case no one noticed:
Ulster 33 -d- Leicester 0
Mmmm. Yet another whitewash.
Still, Havak did get in early the other day with his pre-emptive excuse - something about a lousy ref.
Speaking after the match, Leicester coach Deano illustrated perfectly what Havak has been saying about him recently - that he's a self-deluding d*ckhead:
quote:
"It's still open," said Richards to Britain's Press Association after their four-try-to-nil loss. "We're in one of those pools where it's difficult to predict the outcome." |
Pardon, Deano? I'd've thought the outcome of a Leicester match these days is very easily predicted.
Now, the truly worrying thing about all this is that I'm almost starting to feel vaguely tempted to feel sorry for Havak. Still, a stiff drink and a good self-flogging with a birch branch and the feeling will hopefully pass.
