Meet Joe Black...

Joe Black was born in the summer of 1979, with Zimbabwe on the verge of total independence. Having missed the dreaded ‘born-free’ tag by mere months, he proceeded to grow into a fine upstanding citizen of the new democracy. Not.

You may be surprised at the colours! I haven't converted to Old Hararians - I remain a Harare Sports Club man. I'd lost a bet to the OH coach, so we had to change for a while. Now I kinda like it ...

Dearth at the cinema

I won’t lie to you, gentle reader (yes, I’m channeling The Herald, just bare with me) – I am real bored.

Their was a time I would take the young lady to Eastgate movie-house, to catch one of the many popular flicks on show. Now the weather and general decay has taken the toll and I no longer visit the bioscope.

There was a time one could easily go into the local video club and hire a couple of DVDs but that is like playing the Lotto and quality is not a guaranteed!

So I have been watching downloaded films (not by me, Anti-Piracy Guy), but most of them are rubbish and I cunt remember when I last watched a thrilling flick.

Hang on, I watched The Hurt Locker the other day, and that was one splendid movie. If you haven’t watch it, please haste to your nearest vendor and acquire that flick. It’s great! Best movie I have seen in years, and I see a LOT of movies.

Okay, seriously now, what is all this shit coming out? Transformers, Duplicity, Underworld, Wolverine, Race to Bitch Mountain, blah blah, all rubbish brain-dead nonsense.

Remember, like, movies? You know, Notting Hill, Broken Arrow, Meet Joe Black, The Mummy, Con Air, motherfucking Face/Off? Remember that, when screenwriters at least gave us credit for having brains, and people still made original shit instead of diving into history for remake fodder.

Judas Priest, they made a second Pink Panther. Really. REALLY?

Ignore me, I’m just bored. At least there’s a few good series – Dollhouse, Castle, Mentalist, Dresden Files …

… guess I’ll just have to wait for District 9 to come out.
