Don't believe anyone-certainly not me

Sometimes you watch something that completely changes the way you look at the world and makes you look at things in such a radically different way it feels as if you have had some kind of brain surgery.
That's what happened to me last night when I watched Murderball.
This is a documentary about wheelchair rugby. Does that sound strange? You bet it was. I didn't for example know that such a sport actually existed(charmingly called 'murderball' although there was no evidence that anyone had indeed been murdered during the sport)but turns out there is and it's fun to watch. The documentary was mainly about the rivalry between the US and Canada wheelchair teams and their preparations for meeting at the Athens Olympics. There was some added drama in the conflict because the Canadian coach was an embittered American who had defected up North because he hadn't been picked for a tournament. Things got more and more tense as they trained for the big meeting with the USA looking to take revenge for having been beaten in a Championship final about a year previously.
But the documentary was a lot more than just filming quadriplegics determined to carry on playing sport despite their disability. It was the best look at disability I have ever seen. We got to delve into their lives and see how they deal with their disability and also how they do mundane stuff like shop at the supermarket and go out to clubs. I left the film theatre feeling as if my mind had been well and truly blown and you don't get to say that too often these days.

But on an unrelated note, I am absolutely appalled that there is a remake of The Omen set for June of this year. WHY WHY WHY? This is one of the greatest horror films of all time, it was absolutely perfect the way it was (although accidentally watching a scene from the film when I was about four scarred me for the next few years of my life)Why on earth would you want to remake it or tamper with it in anyway? Some films really should not be touched and this is definitely one of them. There's plenty of obscure films being remade right now which no one knows or cares about and that's fine, but when you tamper with The Omen I assure you that I will make a stand. You will not pry five pounds off me that I can promise you.

I was walking past a newsstand the other day and something caught my eye. You know one of those very colourful celebrity magazines that look like they've been printed by a group of enthusiastic monkeys that have learned an adequate amount of English and have bribed authorities with bananas to let them do what they want? Well anyway I saw one of them the other day and on the cover it said JENNIFER ANISTON IN REVENGE PREGNANCY.
Now my mind is open to a lot of concepts and I always want to be educated if it can be done in a reasonable amount of time but what in the name of Ebenezer is a 'revenge pregnancy'? Was this supposed to mean that Jennifer Aniston had decided to get pregnant to take revenge on Brad Pitt for making Angelina Jolie pregnant? Does that actually happen- getting pregnant just to piss off an ex? And should it really be called a 'revenge pregnancy?' And what happens if Brad Pitt then escalates hostilities by getting Angelina Jolie pregnant AGAIN to take his revenge on Aniston's own revenge? What does that pregnancy become? I think I have a headache now.
