The King's Man

 Spoilers




Well it was jolly good fun- I have not seen the first two Kingsman films. So I knew nothing of this when I put this on. So when the young lead dies. I was shocked. 

A boy's own steampunk adventure. Really I would have liked this to be a series. The same citicism I have of Knives out. I think they could have easily made a 10 episode 30 minute series

Which you know is good feeling to end a film 

I am getting older- I thought Gemma Atherton was played by Sadie Frost

I do like the fact that the King'sman series keeps the langague of the time 

I liked the nod to Dupont- as a villian

I think they should have put the boot into  President Wilson more

We see through the younger characther the horror of killing- A german conscript begging for his life-stabbed to death in a dirty ditch in No Man's land. 

Poor Raputin he is always going to be seen by Anglophone propaganda as a sex maniac, as the devil whispering in the Tsars ear. Now they make him gay- Also I don't think a Russian would say fuck like that-

I wonder if the series will have a nod to came up with asking the domestics about their masters


All in all though good fun

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
