Scraping the Barrell

I realise it’s been a while since my last post here at the Junkyard – but fear not! The recent blizzard of clear and blue plastic cases that has been battering my letterbox like a weather-based version of Ricky Hatton will put paid to this dearth of updates over the next few days. In the meantime, I thought you may (or more likely may not) like to see this:

In a maelstrom of ventricle-ceasing boredom, I borrowed – and subsequently only watched half of – possibly the shittest Adam Sandler film (EVER) off a mate last week. It’s called Punch Drunk Love, and even though the DVD box says it’s “Fucking Awesome, you twatting cunt” (sic), it’s actually a load of bollocks about a socially inept cluster fuck who is afraid of (amongst other things) getting intimate with a woman. Yep – it really is that good. Anyhow, the reason I bring this celluloid bowel movement to your collective attention is this: It’s got a Dreamcast in it!




Spotted a DC in a film? Want to share it with the world? Don’t bother – this is just a shite filler until I can be arsed to write about my new stuff.

NB – To the mate who entered my domain, saw my Dreamcast and ran over to it with childlike glee screaming “Wow! Is that an N64?!” – have a word with yourself.

I take it you're not a fan of Happy Gilmore then?

I wish I could find that damn commerical for vitamin Water (Or was it Aobe Life Water?) with the Dreamcast in it... Dammit.

I saw a film called "Snatch" recently. Not only was there no Dreamcast in it, but I didn't see a single "snatch" in there! Bloody rip off!

Haha just testing, Punk Drunk Love is a really inspiring film though eh? I'd even take Waterboy over PDL, well maybe not but still. This is Anon from before btw :)

P.S. This site is awesome, the writing is top notch. Great way to keep the DC alive.

Fuck off! PT Anderson and Punch-Drunk Love are awesome. Its a beautiful movie with an excellent soundtrack and an extremely unique take on the "love story" genre of films. You hate it due to the fact that it isn't a goofball shitty Sandler film. Again fuck off.

Love the blog though.
