Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/vehicle hit/vehicle crash/bodily functions/bodily waste/animal cruelty/torture/drugs/medical

It is 1998, Lower East Side: briefly; we meet Henry "Hank" Thompson [Austin Butler:] he once was a promising baseball player but after an incident that was no longer an option, so many years later nowadays he is a bartender, that unfortunately and no fault of his own finds himself right in the middle of some bother.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script may be something solid, but the other supporting components or/and elements really do suck; minus the framework and pacing of this 107 minutes film; which in short keeps this film going at a good pace, but I digress; such as Thomas' exposition character developments, where without giving too much away he takes some level of responsibility for it, even though his own memory recall shows us, okay he shouldn't have been drinking, but his friend also needs to take some level of responsibility for his own actions, so Thompson taking full responsibility is just dumb, obviously they clearly have gone down the narrative of some element of guilt consequently full responsibility character developments, but I highlight again it is so dumb, because his own mind/mental imagery that we get to see actually betrays him, based on the actual situation or/and his friend.

Comedy and action; the only time I had a small laugh was when we had Yvonne [Zoë Kravitz:] she is Thomas' girlfriend and one with sound reasoning, so when Thomas has to take care of this cat called Bud [which I have to say this cat who has the real name of Bud is an absolute star of this movie; back to our regular review], which he doesn't like cats, but she does and she says I like cats or just cover my back something to this effect [this is a very niche comedy reference to Kraviz being Selina Kyle/Catwoman predominately in The Batman 2022.

The action sequences are the general kinds of things for this type of movie; beating up, hospitalisation, torture, running, shooting guns and other things.

Character developments and performances; for what these character developments are; they are solid versions of what they were going for here and the same can be said for the performances as well, but I can't stress this enough; completely wastes its assembled cast of talented performers be it on two legs or four legs.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; once again without giving too much away there are two very significant turning point in this movie where after they individually happen; the first one I was like no way; this turning point really did harm the movie and then later on with the second I was like I am done; after which I just couldn't take this film seriously and consequently it is really sucked, the mark I have chosen is based on acknowledgement of all of the cast and we have one extra scene, then some at of Bud playing around and then another extra scene, yet somehow this project has gone some positive awards accredited to its name such as 4 Nominees which include but not limited to Golden Schmoes Awards 2026 Golden Schmoes Most Underrated Movie of the Year.

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references and yes I may as well give a trigger warning; the majority of this content is without doubt going to be triggering.

Who do these celebrities think they are?!: I don't know about everyone else but after this unless there are significant changes or the settlement of some description I won't be discussing this topic anymore, because I am done with that lot of you really.

Because it has dawned on me over the last couple of days that hold on... these celebrities are getting paid somewhere between £40,000-£500,000 and on top of that they got to spend some time in South Africa... meanwhile the average person on the street is struggling to make ends meet and broadly speaking at best they would be lucky to make £39,000 per year, so before some penis head comes at me and says; but these celebrities have earned their position or whatever, okay there may be a little ring of truth to that regardless of their profession, but my point is this; other doors have been opened to them because of their status in life, that most people will never have and no I am not trying to guilt them into anything.

I'm just saying quite clearly from us poor to average folks in the real world... maybe just maybe show some decorum; you had Gemma Collins; being Gemma Collins I don't care what anyone says; she was just being her, being entitled and loudmouth as ever, I have no idea why Seann Walsh went to South Africa as he couldn't handle Australia; the whining female dog, Adam Thomas; yes absolutely I did say he had the right to have a meltdown at Jimmy Bullard for what happened and almost getting Thomas eliminated from this competition as well as himself. But now I'm going to keep it 100% with you; I knew from the very early stages of this year's competition that David Haye was just going to sit on Thomas; verbally, emotionally and mentally, because Haye smelt what I smelt and it was weakness and as David and I are of a similar age I knew what was coming.

The fact is; I've seen enough evidence now going through this competition, the final and post this competition that Thomas is quite happy playing the victim even though the bit or the bits I have seen of his content he says he isn't happy playing the victim or something to that effect I can tell you with 100% certainty for someone that doesn't want to play the victim... his Oscar Nomination must be in the post by now, he hasn't learnt anything and I know he hasn't learnt anything because he has even gone and said I can't watch I'm A Celebrity with my family because of this... Seriously man grow the fudge up! I mean it is crystal clear you couldn't even handle one day in my life as a disabled wheelchair person with depression I have had genuine death threats in the real world face-to-face as well as computer or social media and you sit there whining like a little female doggie, I mean let's be transparently clear I don't think I'm pretty sure actually I know Thomas has worked out why Haye picked on him and if he hasn't worked it out allow me to tell him; it is really simple really you have no backbone or grapefruits, it is that simple, I mean I can guarantee you Haye wouldn't pick on me, it isn't because I am in a wheelchair, ironically if you spend enough time with someone like me, you can see that I am in genuine discomfort and having mental health issues but more often than not I don't complain... unless something is really bad then I wouldn't say complain but I need to address it, Haye would probably say something to the effect of: this wheelchair guy has more grapefruits in his little finger than Thomas has in his entire body.

Jimmy Bullard; simply put he was here for the money and nothing else; he wanted to go home wow, when you are getting paid lots of money, quite frankly he can make up more the allegations he wants of this that and the other, the fact is; he brought it on himself and providing Thomas didn't do anything physical in that verbal altercation then everything is above board end of story.

David Haye; apart from picking on Thomas and his excellent points on modern women, but like quite clearly the worst verbal execution, he didn't do anything wrong like Gemma Collins, David Haye was/is being David Haye; he has made a career of basically boxing and irritating people that is how he makes his money, so when you invite a fox into your farm, don't be too surprised that your chickens are dead the next morning, but Haye please stop telling us it was mostly banter or banter, because you are a winding up Thomas from day one and you are switching from banter to winding up and vice versa... I'm just saying stop telling us something that is partly true and partly simultaneously misleading as well..

Craig Charles; went on to This Morning alongside the other finalists minus Thompson [Charles at the beginning does bring up Thomas and his health concerns Thomas  is and was struggling with the ordeal and the backlash amongst  possibly another issue his medical condition known as Psoriatic Arthritis; which I will discuss in the following content; because this content is just getting too big; but for now I digress;] so we had Harry Redknapp and Mo Farah to talk about the allegations of bullying through this series of this TV series and didn't want to pin it on the producers of the show; in a nutshell am paraphrasing Charles reassures us that Thompson got as good as he put out as it relates to the banter, was disappointed that Thompson didn't say you were struggling Charles also brings up the producers of the show as they have a duty of care if warranted it, they didn't think he was being bullied, they have a duty of care and Charles goes on to say the confrontation between Thomas and Bullard was much more confrontational than what we see on TV; which on a quick side note I have to say good for Thomas, because when someone coughs you opportunities in the present and possible way future TV work as long as you're not physical everything is fine by me. Craig Charles physically upset in this interview goes on to say I thought Adam was my friend we had so much fun in there; Alison Hammond gave Charles a hug and some words of comfort of that was a big thing for you to come and do, Charles goes on to say these guys have suffered and their reputation is damaged, on social media they have given this 80-year-old man dog abuse [in reference to Harry Redknapp age 79 as of this content being thus created,] all because of the way he did not like how Adam acted... he continues we didn't like how Jimmy acted, we didn't like how Adam reacted.

I have known of Charles for many, many moons... I am a boy of the Dwarf, so when he told the truth or is physically upset; it is true so allow me to be transparent if he believed that Thomas was going to possibly hit Bullard then that is extremely unacceptable, I am not changing my opinion, because I have always said it is perfectly fine for Thomas to express himself, without and I do stress without being violent then it is reasonable.

For the rest of them; they were pretty much how I expected them to be; I will continue this look back starting with allegedly suing ITV from two of its contestants this aired Friday 24/04/2026 the final and to leave this on a cliffhanger I can see be problems for ITV in my opinion.

 

Average Extra of: Clayface | Official Teaser by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Clayface | Official Teaser by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/or kind of miniature to adult themes/heavy usage of medical elements, basically any trailer relating to this project is really not suitable for the ballpark figure of anyone under the age of 15 years old.

My reaction: this content is based on the 64 seconds trailer, let's just say they have clearly gone with the authentic approach on how this character should be on every single level; so we essentially have another version of Joker 2019 on our hands, on a little bit research to remind myself, I watched a little bit of the Batman 1992 animated TV series; specifically Feat of Clay: Part I and Part II.

Now for those younger generations out there in Internet land; this is one of those TV programs back in the day that for those older generations would agree with me it wasn't and isn't designed for young viewing audiences; the closer and beyond you got to 15 years old I would feel comfortable suggesting; that is the kind of age range we are talking about here, because in this live-action film and TV program it deals with heavy themes; such as drug addiction, the pursuit body perfection, disfigurement, dark tones and many other encompassing components or/and elements.

Because from the very beginning to the very end of this trailer; they have absolutely got everything right such as tone to represent  Matt Hagen/Clayface; currently as I haven't seen the film obviously yet; it is unclear if they are going to use the unhinged approach of Hagen using the third person perspective or the mirror approach [so they can talk to one another] or individually or combined effort of inner monologue, so as you can really tell I am up for this film.

But I do have some reservations; you see all of its hopefully biggest pluses can also be its undoing, if it goes way, way, way too graphic then there is the possibility of not getting enough butts in seats, you give us a tamer version of what this character should be then this will also be problematic [but based on this trailer I don't think this will be a problem; but for an example if I see the certificate of 12A; the warning lights will be on,] you give us a two-dimensional version of Clayface then there will be problems, as this character altogether as in Hagen/Clayface is complex and layered with or without Bruce Wayne/Batman [to cover my back in the future as of now I can't tell if Bruce Wayne/Batman is going to be referenced at minimum or anything other] and on some more research I know nothing about Tom Rhys Harries as our lead performer; which I do hope he does have the gravitas and range to bring Matt Hagen/Clayface to life... so not too much pressure on there then.

My prediction for this film is: 7/10, I would have liked to give something a little bit higher, but I also like to hedge my bets, so anywhere north of here would be good, but I do also believed that it is going to be all or nothing with this movie, so it is going to be hopefully of the standard of as a reference earlier Joker 2019 or something as agonising as Joker: Folie à Deux 2024, but we will have to wait and see; it is scheduled for release 23/10/2026.

Warning: I will be using censored adult language references and trigger warning there will be things said that you may not want to hear or anything other

Allowing me to make this crystal clear: in no way shape or form am I condoning any of Haye's actual language or sentence structure, because man it was just bad through and through; this is one of those occasions where he could have really done with a translator, so where his language was regardless of the point or/and points it was incredibly sexist and misogynistic, so putting it through my language decipher what he actually meant to say is the following; "In my personal experience; I find that there are too many women that rely on their natural or superficial looks to have everything handed to them or/and an easier life, that is why I would always recommend to men go for the woman that has a bit more personality and substance over looks, because they have a lot more to offer over these superficial... let's be frank air-heads that as soon as you step out of line, they will create drama and make your life a misery, that is why I am so happy with the woman I have."

Now if you still have the problem with this sentiment that is your choice, it was never my objective to change his point or outlook, but to just modernise his language to clean up his point or points. Now let's talk about the really uncomfortable truth shall we?... The fact is Haye is a ex-professional boxer and because of that; that comes with the usual stereotype of possibly not having a high IQ or/and communication skills could be somewhat lacking, so because I am going to presume either think or feel or do a mixture of both to come to this stereotype and consequently Haye is just going to keep coming back with more of the attitude of I don't care and trying to defend himself.

But the really, really well and truly uncomfortable reality is... someone with granted not the best use of English actually has a excellent point and the status quo are manuring themselves because someone dared to say something controversial and a real take on the landscape we had been living in for years and if it is possible is getting quickly so much worse... Because it is clear Haye maybe a multimillionaire, but clearly keeps his ear to the ground.

I myself have said this multiple times in my content at one point or another, because I am in a wheelchair, nor good-looking, under 6 foot, not wealthy amongst other negatives that has been told to me... not only do I not get a look in as it relates to women it is maybe up to 15 times worse now where and this is 100% true, because I was nice to a woman very recently and let me just say that again because I was just nice to a woman very recently and, because I know I have no chance with this individual when I said something nice like; Hi good-looking with a wave goodbye, the next time I saw her, over the width of a desk I gave her a wave and said Hi... she completely blanked me [I can read body language including eyes she was trying not to look up and look busy, I know she was busy but you know when you put pressure on your eyes not to look somewhere that's what I got from this encounter;] yet somehow this has become acceptable behaviour out there in the general public; to be 100% honest you... I had a feeling when I said goodbye statement they did something wrong because she gave me eyes of thunder, but you see this as a reason why I'm telling you all this... is because simultaneously I had to fix my mental health to go; okay I have somehow quite clearly chocolate fudged up you stupid mother lover... but I was only being friendly. On the other side of my head I was saying; okay calm down, you are being too silly calm down, I am sure she is fine and she appreciated the component.

Don't you see, my mental health illness; depression was right, can't you see Haye has a golden point of if women broadly speaking of course had better develop personality and skills or the sense of graft, they would realise for just two examples which there are quite a few; self-worth over self-entitlement and someone being nice doesn't mean that gives you the right to be immature or worse to them and yet we all wonder why mental health is getting worst, on one hand you have someone like myself genuine case of on every aspect of my life is incredibly hard work case in point is talking to the woman amongst other backbreaking elements of my life, whilst on the other hand we have manufactured multiple generations at this point; that can't or won't or get offended the slightest issue and we have indulged for too long, meanwhile you have a genuine case like me and others sitting in the background laughing... because these new generations think they have a mental illness when the fact is as I have just said we have allowed it for too long and the sad reality is that most of them just need to realise that they are not the centre of the universe and like the rest of us they need to deal with life and life itself is not always rainbow and sunshine, it is about sometimes dealing with a person in a wheelchair that could have an upset stomach that can't get to the toilet quick enough, or being in a relationship with someone because they are a good person and when life was garbage they were there for you at a low point in your life, so they may not be 6 foot or/and best looking, but they will come through for you... But Hell would have to freeze over first for these modern generations to have this epiphany, I mean not too long ago we had a global pandemic and no one actually learned manure from that really and people were dying so I have no hope for the present or the future really... so I am just going to finish off by saying in summary Haye had a point.

Saturday Night Live UK [Season 1,] Episode 4: Host: Jack Whitehall & Music Guests: Jorja Smith by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there is mature to adult themes in this content such as though Epstein files, flashing effects/colourful/rainbow community/references to neo-Nazism, Scott Mills, Andrew formerly known as Prince Andrew, suicide, Peter Mandelson and drugs

The Face of Comedy Award: Melania Trump; next door neighbour [short description: she appears as her next door neighbour's are having a barbecue, playing a drinking game; never ever have I, basically she denies anything to do with Epstein;] excellent opening skit.

The football/soccer player escort [short description: basically these children escort these players on to a football/soccer pitch; but in this occasion, we have these players trying to swap these escorts between themselves, for one example one may play badly, because their escort I am paraphrasing here; doesn't look the best;] it is a good-natured skit.

Mastermind [short description: this is a take on the British Game Show institution Mastermind: Contestant: Ben Michael: Occupation: Something in IT Specialists Subject: Things my mother has told me about other people I've never met and have no connection to:] the skit is authentically and by its execution of the highest standard possible.

Dad Swap [short description: commercial for this is an app for people looking for a suitable dad, but things get slightly twisted to the point where they have to point out it isn't incest:] excellent variety with an undertone of dark comedy, even though I know there is no incest is here.

Masters [short description: this is golf player has just won the Masters and everything turns into a lot of kissing; but don't worry we have the commentators keeping us on top of the action:] this skit is excellent fun.

Weekend Update [short description: a comical look back over recent news stories; featuring a story about a hedgehog.]

Peter Pan returns to the Darling's [short description: everyone in this skit is portraying his characters in their 40's and Pan is drunk:] this skit is brilliant fun.

Jorja Smith [second performance]

Cafe in the 1930s [short description: this skit is set in this timeframe, it is also black-and-white skit, we need this husband-and-wife that are discussing their situation and the fact is they are both gay and his mother is coming to see them and it she doesn't have a clue and I should point out for the younger generations back in this timeframe this sexuality option was a legal:] we do also have comedy moments from this time in history such as the slippery floor with sound effects and references to incest which are not incest.

The Face of Tragedy Award: Jack Whitehall's opening monologue [short description: he goes on about his wedding referencing Scott Mills and hoping for another pandemic, amongst other things:] for me this is just a complete miss, you know when the comedian gets on to that stage of life where they just wanted to about their family in their material? Well that is where Whitehall is and depending on the strength of that material, is depending how well it is going to go down, which as you can probably tell I found it incredibly flat.

This episode receives: 9/10, this episode is excellent; they are seemingly found their groove and very much opened the net of their comedy reach, so it doesn't feel so concentrated on a limited specific section or sections, but now we have a two-week break and after that we are coming on Saturday 25/04/2026 back with a bang Host: Nicola Coughlan & Music: Foo Fighters

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references in one way or another.

This is so idiotic: so what is the fudgin' point of having this match or feud continue now? When it absolutely should have taken place at Mania 42/2026, but now compound that Kairi Sane with a part of the mass releases recently in 2026 so far, I mean I have been keeping a loose track on this feud involving these three wrestlers and it has been going on for months, and from out of nowhere like an RKO from Randy Orton, one of your integral parts to this storyline/feud gets Thanos clicked out of existence, this makes absolutely no sense. [Just for the record I know releases happen this time of year but Sane being released is the surprising aspect for the obvious reason.]

Okay, okay Sane wanted to go back to Japan, so why not have her work this event hell, you could even make up the storyline/stipulation of Sky is trying to rescue Sane from Asuka and if she doesn't do it at Backlash Asuka has the ability and say so to ban Sane from the WWE Universe permanently under the theory of; You save her or I will take this all away from her and yes I am very much aware of they did something very similar with Pat McAfee at Mania this year, but in my defence I am just trying to make lemonade out of some lemons.

I mean I was really looking forward to seeing how this feud when and match obviously, but now I can't be fudgin' bothered honestly and when I found out about Sane's release, I honestly thought it was a joke, because I was thinking that the WWE couldn't or wouldn't be that stupid... I stand corrected, it just hit me like a bolt of lightning whatever Sane’s spot in this match was, they are just now don’t you and you Rhea Ripley to assist Sky to pick up the W as a final proper farewell to her tag team partner... Aren’t they?

Calling It Out of: The Entire Mismanagement of Sol Ruca and/or Zaria in 2026 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references in one way or another.

So this was clearly so, incredibly fudgin' stupid!: So on NXT episode first airing Tuesday 21/04/2026: brief description were Sol Ruca took a terrible bump by being pushed off a state high up by Zaria; in theory I should imagine because I am not a wrestler Ruca was meant to land flat on between two tables; but in reality something must have gone wrong, because she caught it way too short and predominately went through the first table banging her head on the floor: where this is speculation/my opinion that if she isn't currently in concussion protocol, I would be surprised.

This was absolutely a pointless and completely unnecessary spot, considering on Monday 20/05/2026 she was being positioned to take on Liv Morgan at some point for her WWE Women's World Championship in fact they had a match on this program as well, okay now I am annoyed, you see whilst dictating this content I have done a little bit of research; on Tuesday 21/05/2026 on NXT: I now understand it was these two female wrestlers in any Last Woman Standing Match I didn't want the match just the closing section and what has now infuriated me is these two points; you see originally I was on the impression that maybe a little bit of the second table was touched, on closer inspection I was so wrong; Ruca went straight down and got a heavy dose of probably whiplash as the second table wasn't even touched and consequently am not joking here if she doesn't have concussion, I want to know how that is medically possible?

Secondly I don't know this referee but he is so stupid... I know I have been around wrestling long enough to know sometimes you just have to keep things going, but at the same time I have seen referees using a little thing called common sense and just either calling it or just putting up the X [for the people that don't know: the X using both hands/arms is to signify: something real has gone wrong/real injury:] but like a dork he performs the 10 count, I mean he doesn't even go in close to see if she is relatively okay after taking this bump... come on people... I don't care what gender you are... you take a spot like that from that height, at least have the referee yet again regardless of gender... you know check on the situation a little... you know be pro-active, there are three people doing this dance, so there needs to be a line of communication.

Bishop Dyer [formerly known as: Baron Corbin:] in a nutshell and paraphrasing here; he was absolutely correct when he said something to the effect of; this spot is/was pointless, because it could completely derail her now on the main roster, so you have a choice between becoming an Internet meme or getting onto the main roster, where if you on the main roster you take these kind of bumps to keep your spot and is she going to be looking back at this point, going that is where things went wrong for me.

I really couldn't disagree with any of this; because I can't overstress this; this was completely pointless, unnecessary and 110% avoidable.

Moving on to a week later Tuesday 28/04/2026: I mean I know they were going to do something bad, because that is how the WWE has conditioned its audience, but even I couldn't see this coming: we have this video package from Zaria: indicating that Ruca is done and essentially been Thanos clicked out of existence with this AI garbage, this kind of manure without a shadow of doubt will just hurt Zaria in the long run: because it is one of those kinds of things where wrestling fans will never forget this video package, I mean I have no idea why they just didn't have her walking around somewhere with a bridge or water or even a burning barrel where she could throw pictures of her and Ruca into the river or burn the pictures and say: now that is done with; I am going to go through everybody until I get my hands on the NXT Women's Championship, so get out of my way or I am running through you, because if I can do this to my best friend, just imagine what I can do to everyone else... So make your choice? [the closing angle is of the final picture of this friendship either sinking or burning as Zaria turns around and walks away; slightly blurring her walking away to focus on the item in question as it sinks or burns.]

The sad thing is; I'm not being arrogant here, but this concept idea took me all of maybe two minutes to think about and once again without sounding arrogant this idea would have stood her in a better position than this really expensive looking manure of a video package, it just shows be it WWE or internally NXT they really don't have any strong creative ideas and it has been that way for a little while now, but it is starting to really show and consequently suck, so I do hope individually both ladies will be fine in every way possible.
