Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

Movie review: The Inbetweeners

As much as everyone says it's just like the TV series on which the movie is based, I've actually never seen the series, so cannot comment on a likeness.

As with many teen angst flicks, it follows a group of socially awkward, somewhat unattractive teenage boys on a highly unoriginal holiday in transition between highschool and university. In contrast to reality, good things always happen in these movies and ugly guys all wind up hooking up with attractive girls (although there are some very nasty moments where this is not the case).

If you laughed at Borat for the poo in the bag scene, or at American pie for any of its masturbatory references or phrases like "fingerbanging some fat minge", then this will amuse you.

Classy it is not. 

It's one redeeming feature is that its a Britcom, so somewhat less cheesy than similar American counterparts, and far more loose with the language- I never realised you could get 4 slang words for vagina in a sentence before.

For all the shit I'm hanging on it, I did laugh- in a "cringing at the awkwardness" type way.
Plot- 1/2 star
Humour- 3 stars
