I finally got round to watching the DVD of the movie Prometheus. The plot seemed to have more holes in it than the proverbial sieve but it compensated by having some rather tasty totty. Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron are not the most well stacked totty but pleasant enough all the same. Theron's character Vickers offered the ship's cap'n a quickie in her quarters but there was nothing to suggest he reported aft as ordered. The lead actress (Rapace) ends up riding off into the sunset in an alien ship with the head of the android tucked safely in a bag. There was no suggestion what she might drink or eat but all alien ships must have a Coke and chocolate-dispensing machine on every level especially those made by Weyland Corporation and Ford in the US.

The Teletubbies had more solid story lines and their characters were more believable and trustworthy. One of the movie's characters who'd been slipped a Mickey Finn containing some toxic DNA seemed to be burned and shot so many times that he must have lived and died at least thrice; that he was suspected of being a serial Lazarus. Popeye was more scary and if it was a prequel to the Alien franchise, then comedy wasn't the way.

I was fortunate that the DVD was off-loaded in the shop for a fiver which was £4 more than it was worth. Yes, the totty was tasty but I can get that on t'internet for free. The special effects were good but they obviously were used to fill in the holes. If anyone wants a copy of the movie you'll find it in the recycling bin outside t'house.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
