Some of you may remember the old Barclaycard adverts, with Rowan Atkinson and Bough, two British agents. You know, one of them had him trying to suck poison out of somebody's butt.
Well, it's got it's own film, in the form of Johnny English, and being a media student, I got to see it today, free of charge, a few weeks before release. Bah, why can't they take us to see GOOD films?!
It's not bad, quite funny in places, especially the one or two anti-French jokes. Got to do loads of research on Rowan Atkinson, come up with 15 questions to ask him (although, of course, we won't actually be asking him them) and writing a 2000 word review of the film. Now, all my research, including every single bit of TV and film he's been in, all my questions and my review so far is only 1400 words, so how on Earth I'm meant to get 2000 words for just the review, I have no idea. It's currently almost ten to eleven, I got in from work just under an hour ago, and it's got to all be done by tomorrow, or I don't get a mark. I explained I'd be at work from half 4 to half 9, so might not be able to do it, but they said tough.
Also got thrown off my college course for a SECOND time (in as many weeks) for missing a meeting with the head of art and stuff at Newcastle college, a meeting I didn't even know I had (in all their wisdom, they set in on a Monday morning, when we don't have lessons till the afternoon, so obviously I wasn't going to be in) I've explained to different lecturers that the reason I've been off so much, and been late so much, is because for the past 9 and a bit weeks I've been working on a night, so it's been hard to go to college from half 9, then go to work and get in at 10 and stay on top of my college work. But they don't seem to care. So, I'm having to leave my job (last week this week) just so I can stay on a course I'm not even sure I should be on (it's TV orientated, not film based)
Bah, this sucks balls. I just want to go to bed and never go to college or work ever again, but alas, the real world beckons. Kids, still in high school, value your freedom! When you're at college by day and work by night, you don't even have time to watch TV! Treasure the freedoms you take for granted, as one day, they'll be gone!

Yes, she's in it, in rather "interesting" dresses...
Hmm....
Hmm....
But Natalie Imbruglia is fit, right? And she's in it, right? So can't be all bad. Rowan Atkinson never did better than Blackadder, anyway.

I can just imagine the marketing now, "based on the hit Barclaycard adverts".
