jazzy_daveWatched the strangest film this evening via You Tube. The Belgian produced “Mr. Nobody” starring Jay Leno, a kind of multiple branched universe of choices made by one person, who is recounting his past as the oldest mortal human left in the year 2092. The rest of humanity is now quasi-immortal using genetic engineering.
This world seems to be constructed from a young boy who cannot make a decision on whether to stay with his dad or leave with his mum when they separate. A film that invokes the idea of entropy, the big bang theory and its big crunch, and string theory has to be weird. A brilliant mind boggling flight of fancy or mind fuck.

Been up the pub with cousin as Phil invited us up there. Little Steve was there too. Everything was fine until some shit little Steve spewed out which had me biting my lip. Being a socialist it was about the Labour party that I did not take kindly to , but then both he and my witless cousin seem to be very pro Tory, which to me is a very sad state of affairs, because they always have fucked the working class man. I am not sycophantic to any one group or another, but I do feel that the capitalist system as it is needs some overhauling to a much more fairer egalitarian situation.
Mind you , my cousin can come out with some shit which I would find offensive, racist and sexist in the extreme but that to me is the typical mindset of a Tory devotee. Well he hates the Welsh, the Scots, the French, and possibly a few others. The trouble is with him, and a fair few others, is that it is a short step from such prejudice towards fascism, and we do not want that to happen again.
So. folks, there is the dilemma I face, but then have to have cloth ears to deflect the crap that comes from my sadly deluded cousin.
