Mark's Down On Your Syntax

“Skyscraper Rabbit 2 - Binary Bunnies” has begun production!

I gave in and upgraded Windows from 8 to 10. I did some research and felt happy reverting would be easy if I didn’t like it.

The overlong process deleted all the drivers and more than a few pieces of software. I tried to roll back the system but was told I couldn’t. I tried using the factory reset partition on start up to reinstall Windows 8. Windows 10 had erased that too - the partition was still there, it had just blanked it for some reason.

I have since used my old laptop to install Windows 7 and spent hours getting the drivers sorted. I then decided to install Ubuntu on the old laptop as I’d wanted to try it for a while. It installed quickly, cleanly and came with every driver required ready to go - all for free. Microsoft and their high-priced software have certainly got a lot to learn!

I like Windows 7 and I like Linux too so it’s turned out well I suppose.

But really. Grr, a bit of yay, but grr in general.

You can’t make me. Look, we had all been drinking that night - besides the photos have all been destroyed now so nobody can prove anything and it’s your word against mine so let’s all just forget about it and move on shall we?

Great stuff! (can it be used in a fan edit somehow?!!!)

Oh good grief. I was kind of hoping it’d be a decent movie, Sinister 2 was awful!

(Because I’m bit odd) I’ve been keeping an eye out for the 50000th Motion Picture of America number at the end of a movie this year. But I’ve missed it! Batman V Superman was #50064. Does anybody know which movie had the honour?

“The Final Girls” (2015) was a perfect mix of slasher/comedy/satire with great actors, a great story, great effects, great soundtrack and a great ending. If you like the horror genre and you haven’t seen it (it didn’t do very good business so you likely haven’t) then this is definitely worth an hour and a half of your time. An imaginative and fun new take on all the old cliches. I give it a 9/10.

This is absolutely brilliant. I for one have never heard these lines before and to hear the old cast in character saying something new is a thrill!

I just watched “Delivery Man” (2013). I think I was expecting just some dumb comedy that might pass the time. I was surprised to find that not only was it mostly witty rather than crude but also genuinely touching. I love it when a movie doesn’t give you what you were expecting and actually impresses you (I’ve had far too many experiences of the opposite!) I give it an 8/10.

This seller could have slightly overestimated the value of their goods, they could be a ebaying genius, or they could just be a delusional clown. After you’ve stopped laughing at the price read the item description (and pay attention to their preferred payment method!)
