Movie Reviewers

Most of us choose to watch a movie or not. We look at the type and the classifications before deciding if we would be likely to enjoy, be bored or offended by it. Reviewers I assume cannot simply choose what to look at. They are there to let you know if you may want to go.

The problem for anyone having this job is seeing things that you are repulsed by, but staying on to the end. That would surely desensitise the reviewer as they ignored their inclination to stop watching. This seems to have happened to a reviewer that writes in a local paper.

This is about a movie just released:

"A guilt-free celebration of the kind of behaviour that would have made the Romans blush. It's a coke-snorting, crack-smoking, scotch-skulling, hooker shagging riot of a film...it's the sweariest movie of all time with 506 uses of the F-word alone...is a desert where all that is good withers..."

So not recommended then? Well:

The lead character is "...worryingly impossible not to like.." and "...the most entertaining film of the summer..." 

Reviewer summary: Offensively good and 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

My summary: Why be entertained by the vilest of characters? They exist but we don't want to know about them, do we? The reviewers conscience is so seared that he enjoyed and fully recommends it.

Some Scraps Of Wool And....

My wife had a some wool she wanted to use up. She crocheted this blanket, about the size of a throw over for a single bed. It's amazing what can be done with some small leftovers.

The crochet flowers add a nice touch too.

Light 'N Funny : 2013 Summary

Yet another big year for the blog you are reading. Since records began, Light 'n Funny has grown 138% (2011), 133% (2012) and 94% (2013). Of course growth won't continue at that rate. In fact I will be surprised if can match that and I will explain below. First things first....

For the facts of 2013:

Hits: 18,800

Blog of the year: Amazing Breast Gourd Plant (over 10,000!) 

Countries most visiting (ranked): USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Russia, New Zealand, Latvia, India, Malaysia & Germany.

The reason for the expected drop is that the popularity of the blog of the year can surely not continue. I don't know why it went off the way it did but it must have been emailed around or posted at other sites. The stream of readers was unrelenting for that article.

There were problems with Blogger during the year when publishing an article became a nightmare. Despite that, the show went on and that didn't seem to affect visitors as you as existing blog articles were there to enjoy.

Group hug everyone

The thing is it is a commercial free blog, meaning that there are no advertisements, pop ups or requests for donations. It is all free to you all, the way the internet was designed to be.
