It’s been a week of chaos in the Vernon household (lost one computer while trying to get the Encyclopedia Volume 2 finished, no money, no gas, child home sick on week #2 of the new school year) so sitting down and writing one of my brilliantly pithy divisive diatribes has been next to impossible. So, I thought I might do a round up of topics floating about on the interwebs right now. Call it my scream of consciousness.

My favourite movies are comedies, music documentaries, and big dumb action movies. So when my movie buff brother Amir asked me to watch The Expendables 2 with him this weekend, I obviously jumped at the chance.
When The Expendables came out a couple of years ago, I thought it was one of the most ridiculous, and also one of the greatest movies ever. Not in a cinematic masterpiece sort of way, because I’m not completely unhinged, but it was so entertaining. The special effects were and fighting sequences were top notch, the story line non-existent and the script was laughably bad.
