    Better Call Saul (spoilers ahoy)

    in General Banter

    Neighbour at the window who got her newspaper stolen was listed in the credits as Liz Liotta. I kept thinking repeatedly ''wow, that must be Ray Liotta's mum'to keep my mind from the extreme pain i was in. Nice to see Clea Duvall back on screens again, she was good. Episode did cram a lot of Mike into the last 7 minutes, which i thought was cool, kinda had enough of Chuck and his shit.

    I think that cat might be half kangaroo with hind legs that can propel him to those heights.

    This week my pain threshold has been tested to the limits. Started on Tuesday at the dentist with an aborted root canal. But that was nothing compared to what followed. Throughout the week i've had this swelling of the middle finger, down by the nail. It's been spreading and getting more and more painful, yesterday i had to google it and found it was a nail infection called called Paronychia. Last night it spread from the side of the nail round the skin above the nail to the point where the shape of the finger was deformed. The swelling looked similar to this picture from google, except my nail stayed normal, unlike this poor bas.

    In desperation i tried to burst it with a couple of times with a pin (which was momentarily excrutiating) thinking some fluid would come out, but just a tiny bit of blood did. That made the pain worse and i got no sleep last night because of it.

    I went to A & E this morning to get a doc to drain it and eventually after he checked it out he prepped it for the scalpel, i was offered anesthetic injections into the finger but stupidly said no, wanting to get it over and done with quickly. He dug the scalpel into the skin above the nail and started cutting along, images from Martyrs started flashing in my mind, this was pain. He noted that nothing much was coming out. So repeated the process another couple of times along the circumference of the nail. I had gritted teeth so tight to stop from screaming. Worst pain i've ever had in my life. Finally, dressed the finger and gave me a packet of antibiotics and co-codemol to eat which gave me some pain relief but made me really tired, especially after not sleeping, i have 7 days of antibiotics to do until the infection has cleared up. I don't know how it began, all i can think of is i've been biting my nails and a raggy bit at the side has led to a cut which has got dirt or bike oil in it or something.

    I'd never heard of Paronychia until last night, but holy muddafuckin shit, dawg...it's a name which will give me chills for the rest of this life and probably the next.

    160 pounds a months rent must be like living in someones cupboard in Easterhouse or something. It doesn't compute. Carpets needing shampooing, etc. Only person i ever heard about paying that little rent was a toff twit from my home town who moved out to the city to continue his life as a useless bum, was about 28 and living with the aid of mummykins who owned the flat. She wanted to give him some adult responsibility and started charging 120 rent, he had a man tantrum and jumped out the window of the flat onto spike railings. Spoilt brat never knew how good he had it.

    It's very ham fisted of the makers to put that scene at the start. Thrown straight into the world of never before seen creatures in a film which should be about setting up familiarities. Can't believe Ridley signed off on that opening scene, dang. You're meant to be enticing viewers back into the Alien world with familiar recognisable visuals, not new ones of this white thing from Star Trek 7 and then try to work backwards into genetics?!

    'scuse me, i'm just reminicing on the missed opportunities of Prometheus. Holla.

    What a great show. I think the Kettleman's are going to go behind bars for a long time and i wouldn't be surprised to see Tuco and his gran join them in there along with the guy with the bell. Saul was right to go after the Kettleman's so tirelessly, they represent the ghastly side of suburbia. Selfish greedy scuzballs masquerading as Ned Flanders types. Audiences hate them worse than cold hearted killers.

    What TV series are you watching at moment?

    Watched the first part of JK's The Casual Vacancy (had insomnia at 2am on sunday so got up and watched bbc iplayer), i like it. Lot's of the rural quirks and raw wankiness of village life. Great cast, including this little old Gizmo looking lady who plays Michael Gambon's lover. Great actress.

    She just turned 74 today. Happy birthday Julia.

    It says in't credits it's partly funded by HBO so y'all will be getting to enjoy this too. I recommend you grasp it.

    mp3 players...where have they gone

    I was ready to smash the shit outta my Sony nw-a3000 this morning, 9am sat down at my desk, ready to sit through an AFX soundcloud playlist i had made to get me through the day, switch it on bleep bleep 'Battery Low' and went dead, i lost it, screamed ''You fuckin cocksucka'' threw it into the corner of the room and stormed out, some bosses were walking down the corridor at the time and heard me, i just kept on walking and went out to Costa. Layed low for about half an hour, then skulked back in praying the bosses had left. That mp3 player is about 8 years old and the battery life is horrible but it's now at the stage where i have to keep it plugged into the wall always. It's got all my music on it, i know with this dying battery i'll have to let it go soon but it's gonna be hard, 8 years is a long time.

    I finally watched this with some trepidation. The moral complexities of AI is perhaps the least original concept anyone could come up with for sci-fi, we've seen this theme multiple times very well done in films for decades, you will know all the films that this has been done, but where could they take it? To their credit, they went 'out there' with it but i was left with the bitter aftertaste of a hybrid of Michael Jackson's 'Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and for the entire human race' / 'Earth Song' / Polygon Window 'If It Really Is Me'. When a film is reminding you of Michael Jackson it's not a good sign because we now know that his lyrics were insincere, he wasn't interested in healing anything apart from his appetite for 'milk', 'jesus juice' and the purest of flesh. Up to a point it hold's your attention when they're curing the disabled people thanks to copying cells to replace damaged cells, you're like 'how bad can this AI be?' ok these humans are all wi-fied up to part of a badass network, but even so, it's still better than suffering the way some of them had been. Unplug the modem's lose the network, and keep all the good part of their AI development, that would have worked. But at the beginning / end we see that phones and laptops are useless and used as doorstops. Technology as a whole has been abandoned and it's just hipsters moping around the streets with retro cameras. A backward step for mankind.

    Compliance

    A scam caller posing as a police officer persuades the staff of a fast food restaurant to strip search and antagonize an employee under false claims of theft. Amazingly enough it was based on actual events http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip_search_phone_call_scam

    Yeah thats a creepy film, especially when the guy on the other end of the phone is revealed and you get a glimpse into Pat Healy's world*

     

     

    *Can i get some spoiler tags up in this bitch
