To the Pub; The Winchester: briefly; we have these two best friends:  Shaun [one of the Writers of this film: Simon Pegg:] he works as a sales assistant and then we have Ed [Nick Frost:] he is currently unemployed and lives to play this fart joke on Shaun. But alongside some of the characters; they find themselves in this zombie apocalypse where Shaun has this bright idea to go to the pub, so that is where we are heading.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 99 minutes film is very similar to the pacing of this film; from the perspective of it does take time for this film to funny enough live another just after opening section to this film, but after that everything is at minimum good or moving between this and enthusiastic fun.

Art, action and comedy; the first thing I should say it is and I am aware is somewhat obvious, but things can be graphic; but with that being said it can be lots of fun with blood splatter, the highly detailed presentation of the zombies has to be given high praise indeed for their authentic approach and etc, these two friends; talk about with records of Shaun's throw at this zombie: while this zombie is approaching or much later they are in this pub and things are getting a little bit manic; with Shaun needing the assistance of this group of characters as he fires this type of shot gun with the others assisting with reloading or/and directions as they only have one shot gun and limited ammunition

Character developments and performances; they clearly have gone with the approach of even though we are in this situation, we can still have these real-life problems, which yes these characters are old enough and just about wise enough to put them to one side: to put them on the back burner, but for them to be bubbling away, so that when they come back into the forefront it feels and have their presentation to be natural: this level of natural chemistry has to go to the cast of performers as they have this free-flowing chemistry and camaraderie even though some of these characters may be going through something or they may not liking one another; they would all like to get through this situation.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it does deserve to be seen once in a lifetime and I even had the great pleasure to go and watch this film at the cinema with the person I watch some of this content with; yes on both enjoyed it immensely and once again yes this film does have some awards accredited to its name such as; 14 Winners that include but not limited to British Independent Film Awards 2004 Simon Pegg Edgar Wright [as Rabid Monkeys Newsreader/other characters including voice work and is the other Writer/Director of this film] and 20 Nominees which also includes but not limited to; back to this event/ceremony Most Promising Newcomer Nick Frost

Warning: I usually say at some point or another they will be censored adult language references

Keys should be suspended until WWE Money In The Bank: which if you don't know is Sunday 06/09/2026; this seems a fair and reasonable punishment considering the WWE had set a president for this way back in 2004 dealing with Marty Wright back in WWE Tough Enough Season 4 [his debut was 15/10/2004] were he pretty much got cut for doing the same thing; he told them he was 30 years old, but he wasn't at the time he was 40 years old as they got hold of his driving licence, but he did come back as a well-known gimmick of WWE's The Bogeyman [his on-screen debut was on an episode of WWE SmackDown 15/10/2005.] So I can't see why Keys should not receive the punishment I have suggested, because if he doesn't receive something like this then yet again it will set a precedent for any future talent that does the same thing or a similar thing.

Just for the record I am not going to even bother making this a tribal thing as on one hand this is very much a WWE entire thing and I like both Keys and for arguments sake The Bogeyman as well, the only thing I have left to say is; this turn of events has really scuppered what should have been strap a rocket to Keys back success and elevation, which is highly disappointing, Obviously they can still elevate him when he returns, but you know what I’m talking about there is only one time that you can make a first lasting long-running impact, which is now going to be tarnished by his lie.

Real Talking Time:

Warning: there will be censored adult language, including fingered gesture references in this content

What the fudge just happened?: This is one of the worst final sections of the film I have certainly seen it in the modern era of cinema for sure. One minute we have Rachel McAdams as Linda Liddle: indicating that she would like to stay here and after having a conflict with Dylan O'Brien as Bradley Preston: 1 year to jump forward later she has taken her rightful position.

So this is just lazy writing, because it is a massive time jump with many questions; such as how did she get off this island? What has hasn't throughout the last year? So she isn't being investigated for murders them? No one found the bodies? On reflection they could always come out with a sequel to cover this, but I just don't see it happening, yes at the moment it has a profit margin of $14 million [on the day of this content being first released,] I wouldn't say that was enough to justify a sequel, so I have to take things as they are right here and right now.

Like I made reference to in the related content the ending style to this film very much feel like a middle finger to the audience and on top of all this right at the end of this movie and this was the final clincher to why this film lost so many marks is because in a interview; reference to this advice something to the effect of help yourself because help is coming.

I was thinking what a load of manure, because as I have already indicated in this content that finally she got what she rightly deserved, but in no fudgin' way am I going to condone, the extremely feminist or/and woken agenda of this preaching message of; basically help yourself, because help is not coming, as if that is any kind of justification for potentially killing up to 4 people.

This is a problem with the present time; we make excuses for this kind of behaviour, okay this in itself is an extreme example, but at the same time it is a perfectly example of how and what world we are currently living in, because I guarantee if a man had done this manure or survived they wouldn't be getting this high praise.

I mean we don't even get a montage or something of what actually happened over the past year or a person I want some of this content with; came up with the concept of; it was all a dream and waking up from that dream, would have been much better than what we actually got.

So like I referenced in the connecting content; this film haemorrhaged markings from somewhere around 8/10 to 5/10 for its manure of a clear agenda of feminist/woken ideologies, this film really does not help the current climate of emboldened women actually it encourages it to another level.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/hunting/animal cruelty/invironmental/drugs/cutting/biting/drowning/shooting/dismemberment/disfigurement/strangling/choking/medical/reference to child abuse and I will be making reference to a fingered gesture in this content.

Stranded: briefly; after this private jet goes down; we only have two survivors; the newly appointed CEO of this finance and management company; Bradley Preston [Dylan O'Brien:] how can I put this nicely; he definitely comes across as nepotism baby and not a very nice individual, but he is injured and saved by Linda Liddle [Rachel McAdams:] she is in Planning & Strategy Department has worked for this company for 7 years, she is very intelligent and a hard worker, she was up for a very lucrative promotion until Preston denied it, but she is now the one that woke up first and now has the knowledge and know-how and more importantly the physical capabilities to make sure they survive.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is very good up to a certain point, basically everything about this film up to a certain point was going to be highly rated by me [which I will vaguely talk about in the final section of this content,] but for here and now by and large the framework and pacing of this 115 minutes film is really good as it just keeps things going as there is always something happening or to discuss.

Art, action and comedy; the scenery/landscape of our location has been well chosen for their survival mission; now I should give you a extra warning be it the action or/and the dark comedy references both individually or together can be graphic; so hunting and vomiting into someone's mouth whilst trying to save their life is the standard that I am talking about here.

Character developments and performances; individually or together they are both excellent, minus the stereotype character developments in the opening section as they have real depth to them as they are flawed and people, mixed in with the smart implication of which one possibly hasn't had to work so hard to get where they are today, whilst the other has worked incredibly hard to get where they are today and their characteristics show through brightly. The performance of McAdams without a shadow of doubt has to be given high praise and I do hope she gets some positive at minimum nominees for this performance; as in a nutshell as Liddle; for a heavy amount of this film she comes into her own and turned into a powerhouse as she knows what needs to be done and get on with it, on top of that, we have this role reversal were Preston quickly learns his place; where O'Brien has to sometimes really sell what he is going through at that time and also does an excellent job; between this partnership there is excellent chemistry.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; to be brutally honest without giving too much away the ending of this film is a hot steaming pile of garbage and consequently it just haemorrhaged any form of positivity it had built up before then, like I have just referenced without saying too much but enough to make my point it really does feel like the movie gives its audience the middle finger [at some point or another I will do it connecting piece of content and I will leave it at the bottom of this content when I have done it, so it will be your choice if you want to view it or not; but I digress] and there are some extra bits and pieces in the form of drawing in the ending credits.

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/environmental/chopping/vehicle hit

Dr. Mart Lungo: Character [Character developments,] Storyline, Action and Art; this individual is a highly intelligent if only a little bit of scary animal/creatures biologist, our team has to go and rescue him before this natural disaster is this location, but in one way or another we have these booby-traps; including but not limited to this always exciting, yet classic as it relates to booby-traps of the sides and the ceiling slowly closing in or/and dropping down to eventually compact anything within the space; as always the art is spot on to bring for an example of this sequence of life to a higher standard.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; as a standalone episode it is good, but as the final episode of this TV series it likewise solidly rounded things off as well, this animated TV series also has 1 Winner award to its name in the form of Daytime Emmy Awards 1985 Daytime Emmy Outstanding Achievement in Film Sound Mixing Charles Grenzbach Hoppy Mehterian

Real Talking Time:

Warning: there will be some censored adult language references and racist references, but not directly from me so in no way shape or form am I being actually racist, I'm just dealing with the subject of racism, reference to a sex offender and yes everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I now clearly believe one thing: that America broadly speaking does not have the brain capacity to understand subtext. Because if you could not understand the storyboard of Bad Bunny's performance to be brutally honest you are as thick as two planks of wood; the concept broadly speaking was about; a mesh of immigration and presumably Bunny's parents and partly his childhood or there is always a possibility that he was taking his own personal experience and indicating that the next generation or individual could inspire to win a Grammy for an example [as we clearly see him giving the younger version of himself or an individual a Grammy: to imply that if you work hard you will get at minimum one of these/using himself as now as a future echo, so without being racist you go from the fields holding onto the American dream: in this case being symbolised by an American Football which present Bunny holds at some point or another in this performance.]

I know this sounds strange coming from a white dude... but for those people that are saying something to the effect or at the very least implying, I am not being racist but... but I couldn't understand what he was saying, you should have sung in English... firstly your ignorance is astounding as music doesn't need a translator; this is coming from somebody that listens to German metal, Japanese metal and Punjabi music where for a very high percentage of the time, they sing in their native language, so by using those skills and in this case using what I saw I could work out what was being indicated; Bunny very much drove it home when we had all these flags, Bunny shouting out the list of countries and people to indicate that they are all American and then spiked the football down and on a quick side note these dancers in the earlier stages of this performance it needs to be noted that there are many fine posteriors to be seen and not objectifying women, I am just being complementary.

You see as I come from the land of the Sex Pistols I would have happily just said Fudge ICE on one of the biggest stages on the planet, but Bad Bunny took his opportunity to put the marginalised people in America on as I have just indicated one of the biggest stages in the world and I have just now found out that the couple in this performance that seemingly get married, actually got married for real and on top of that the only English words Bunny spoke were something to the effect of God Bless America.

This was an excellent show and everyone involved should be delighted on how things went, but just remember these two very important yet individually points; it was well overdue that this had to happen and am I in no way shape or form detracting anything from this momentous occasion, but if you are as streetsmart as I am, keep focused on this momentous occasion but also simultaneously keep focused on the Epstein Files as I can guarantee you they will try anything to pull focus on not but both of these two important topics, obviously for very different reasons, maybe next year we can get Stormzy and Olivia Dean headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, I mean Trump would lose his mind; having two foreigners headlining, not being white and talented.

Oh fudge off!: So from April 2026 the TV licence is going to £180 a year, which is an increase of roughly £5.50. When will the BBC understands that it is no longer fit for purpose and on top of that why do the British public have to pay for it? When you're paying your roster of names hundreds of thousands of pounds per year, for an example with full disclosure being 2024-2025 years Gary Lineker £1.35 million [I am fully aware he no longer works for the BBC but the figure still matters in this context] followed by Zoe Ball with £515,000 per year and all the names after Ball receiving a similar figure with Justin Webb receiving the least of £365,000 per year [so essentially thousand pounds a day.]

It really doesn't matter how many times the BBC's puts out those thank you messages, at the end of the day how about targeting those your pay roster and taking a minimum of £25,000 per year of them, I mean we all have to move with the times and the economical climate so I don't see why the BBC shouldn't be cutting their annual salaries as well, for an example if we are paying for the BBC no one should be earning over I would say £250,000 per year and if they don't like it they can go and work for some other channel or subscription service.

Basically the BBC try to keep this notion going; "We are the BBC, funded by the people for the people." So if this is remotely true? Isn't it about time you reflected the state of the UK in these more modern times, meaning it is a struggle to make ends meet, so we will give the British public a break and put down the TV licence, but of course the BBC have got to look after their sex offenders such as Huw Edwards which as far as I'm aware is still getting his nice pension, so in short this pay increase is very much tone deaf to the real lives of the British public, but then again not only do we have to pay for Edwards we might also have to pay for President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the BBC at some point in the future: Thanks BBC.
