Transporter 2 is out

I chanced on a movie review in the papers the other day of the sequel to the Transporter. I didn't read about the plot and what not; the photo of Jason Statham was enough. That and the fact that I'd probably want to see the movie anyway inspite of what the movie critic said in the piece. So as it is, the movie is showing at some Nu Metro cinema or other. Too bad it's not closer to the real world. Thank goodness for VCDs and DVDs.

There's something about British movies/programmes/people [as opposed to American ones] that's just so real you can't help but like them. The accent alone would be a winner [I love the way they say 'boat' when they mean to say 'but']. Their American counterparts are just too fake. Take their sitcoms for instance. [What is a situation comedy even?] Bland, predictable, fake, yadda, yadda, yadda. British humour on the other hand is edgy, witty, real comedy. The Brits may be eccentric, but they win hands down. Perhaps it's this exact reason that gives them the edge. Who cares about block buster hype. Go out and watch 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' then tell me what you think about box office hype. It's just crap.

On another note, Pierce Brosnan is no longer James Bond. There's a new Bond in town, and we should be seeing him in action some time next year. Can't wait.
