The Daily Teaser — 17-4-2016

Ye GODS, but I love a weekend like this … !

I was working, yesterday: and I’m working, today.

No problem there.

Except, of course, I finished at half twelve.   And today … ?

I start at twelve.

For someone who likes eating up in the morning … ?

For someone who likes to get up in the morning, that does mean a lot of things.

Frankly?

Having lots of caffeine around … !

The Daily Teaser — 17-4-2015

Right … 

It has to be said, I caught quite a lot of the Leader’s Debate, last night.

Yes, I know, politics can be a chore.

But on the other hand … ?

I thought it looked like it could be … well … 

Entertaining.

Whether it was, or not, I really couldn’t tell you.

Personally, though … ?

Personally, I know Ed Milliband and Nichola Sturgeon did well, I’m also rather impressed with Natalie Bennett of the Greens.

Whether that will translate into votes, I really couldn’t tell you.

Come that first week in May?

We’ll have to see what happens.

~≈Œ≈~

Cash: entertainment, with the possibility of Whippets.

You know, I’ve got to admit, right at the moment … ?

Right at the moment, I’m watching the BBC’s film version of Rupert Goold’s cut of MacBe …

MacB …

The Scottish play, in other words: I’ll a little superstitious about naming it.

Beautiful thing to be distracted by, given that Patrick Stewart’s in the title role.

Remind me to tell you about it, sometime …

At any rate, I actually meant to tell you about the movie Movie Night Adrian and I watched, last night.

The problem with that … ?

Is that we ended up nattering happily about all sorts of things.

After we found that the movie we’d been planning to watch, the Christopher Nolan directed Inception, was a damp squib.

I think me and Adrian both decided — after some 17 minutes — that we’d rather do anything else.

Wrestling alligators could’ve been interesting, but Adrian, bless ’im, is coming down with a case of flu.

At any rate, I do know that he, Kevin, and I all got together with a DVD copy of the 2010 independent crime thriller, Ca$h on Thursday night.

And I’m thinking we all agreed it was money well spent.

Hang on, back in a sec, the Wyrd Sisters are back on …

«•»

Whoops, sorry, it’s the big banqueting scene …

Amazing what you can down with East European comedy records and half a dozen Shakespearean actors …

«•»

Let’s move on to the matter at hand, shall we … ?

Ca$h sees Sean Bean as Pyke Kubic, who’s looking for the fruit of a bank heist originally stolen by his identical twin brother.

And that’s landed up with happily married — but unemployed — couple, Sam and Leslie Phelan: played by Chris Hemsworth and Victoria Profeta.

Pyke … ?

Wants the money back.

And goes about it in a very reasonable way.

Ahem …

«•»

Now …

I think I’m going to leave this post here: after all, Patrick Stewart is just warming up.

But speaking of the films I’ve had the chance to see over the past few days … ?

Given the choice of the big budget — and seemingly badly plotted, going by what we saw — Inception, or Ca$h, the little indie movie made with Inception’s tea club money … ?

I’d go for the bone dry humour of Ca$h, any day … !
