Rik Mayall RIP

I'm sure by now you've heard the terrible news about this wonderful TV Comedian. I remember the first time I saw Rik on TV (although, I don't remember the exact year). It was the "Chess" scene from the episode "Culture" in the show "Bottom". From then on I was hooked and watched them religiously (even got a lot of their episodes and live shows on DVD.)

Even now if "Bottom" or "Young Ones" happen to come on TV, I have to watch it. Just wish he was in more things, but even still. What he has done, has brought much laughter to me, and I'm sure, to the world.

I will have to re-watch all of my "Bottom" Dvd's again soon. Sleep well, Rik.

Lego Movie.

Now, when I first heard the words "Lego Movie", I asked the person..."What sort of Lego Movie? Batman, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings?" Knowing of thoses Lego Games, but never really played any of them (surprisingly). "I don't know," came the reply, "it's just called "Lego Movie"

I'll admit the words themselves don't sound exciting. I use to love Lego as a Kid, and if I get the chance now, I'll always play with Lego. But I couldn't really see how they'd make a movie about it.....then I saw the trailer. It looked really good, really funny, and action packed. I thought to myself.....yeah, I'll have to see this.

However, what I actually got was all that, and more. It was a beautifully done story, a brilliant song (it fact it's awesome), and there was lots of things that I didn't expect to happen....happen. Okay, so somethings I did see coming, but most of the time it was really well done.

If you can, you should definitely watch this film, even if you never got into Lego.
