"How fun is it?" i hear you cry. Well, not as fun as it should be, because i have a conscience. But i DONT have a conscience about some of the reviews below...
ABERYSTWYTH MAY BALL
Ok, so this is a review of the whole thing apart from the two acts ive reviewed below, they deserve a section to themselves. SO, for £40 i got to stand around with jo in a freaking car park, pay through the nose for shit drinks, and get my neck broken by Walzers. Great.
Anyway, it all began well, we got all dressed up nicely in my new suit and a prom dress, and went to the bus. I was then told that we had to buy tokens for drinks, £10 for a strip of 4 tokens. £2.50 a pop. When we got there i realised that one token could get me a VK, a bottle of beer, a can of bitter, a glass of champagne (read piss) or a single and mixer. £2.50. OR a double jaeger/vodka and redbull. for a fiver. not. happy. Then we stood around for hours, waiting for a couple of jo's mates to bungee jump. and then we got a prom photo. think back to your prom, how much did it cost? no more than a tenner right? WRONG. £16. SIXTEEN FUCKING POUNDS. Lovely photos maybe, but £16 a pop? riiiiight. Feeder, were, well, see below. And the we went and chilled out on bean bags in a chillout tent and saw a couple of acoustic songs. Then i threw up on the bus back. Wow. For £40 plus £100 for the suit, plus £30 for the bus, plus £16 for the photo (total £186) i could have....fuck... why did i go?
And the final nail? I missed rugby 7's at keele and a supposedly fantastic night out after wards. cheers aber uni, just what i always wanted: to be arse raped. The only plus side was Feeder and i got to spend time with Jo.
Score: a generous 3/10
IRON MAN 2
Before i saw this film, it came across and a bit of a marmite film. Some loved it, some hated it. And i can gladly say that i am smack down the middle. Not a mouldy piece of crap, not the Shawshank Redemption
Basically, Iron Man is dying, the bloke who helped Tony Stark's dad invent the core has a psychotic son who is working with Stark's rival to create killing machines and Gwyneth Paltrow is being a whiny bitch, as always. Be warned dislikers of arguments. Her and Robert Downey Jr could squabble and bicker in the olympics. Couple that with the over exaggaration or Scarlett Johansson's gorgeousness (FILM: "SHE'S GORGEOUS. LOOK AT HER, CLEAVAGE, BOTTOM, CATSUIT. LOVE HER YOU FUCKERS") and the characters can become a bit irritating. Downey Jr though, is just himself, narcissistic and cocky. and the better for it.
So not too good yet? Nah, them points above are just niggles. Great action sequences, flashy special effects and a surprisingly good, albeit predictable, storyline make this film a good laugh. Theres no harm in it. Oh, and theres alot of AC/DC, which is worth a 10 on its own.
Score: 7/10
FEEDER
When I told my friend Sarah that i was going to see Feeder at Aberystwyth Uni's May Ball, her reaction was "Aaaaah, theyre amazing live." When I told my friend Cory that i was going to see Feeder at Aberystwyth Uni's May Ball, his reaction was: "Mate, one of the best live bands ever." When I told my friend Jay that i was going to see Feeder at Aberystwyth Uni's May Ball, his reaction was: "Saw them at Reading. Brilliant."
When saw Feeder at Aberystwyth Uni's May Ball, i agreed with them all. They were brilliant. Sure, their set was only like 8 songs long, but they played all the hits, and better than they sound on record. From the gorgeous bittersweet Just the Way im Feeling to the madhouse jumping of Buck Rogers, they wiped the floor. Well done to the Welsh trio. Proper crackin' gig like.
Score 9/10 (miss out on top score because of the short set)
LITTLE SHIT BIT
TIM WESTWOOD (Aber May Ball)
Seriously, a deaf epileptic with downs syndrome, no arms and the attention span of a goldfish could have DJ'd better than the Big Dawg. I can sing his set:
*Bum shicca shicca bumbum shiccashiccashicca *air horn air horn* "ALL MA SEXY LADIES IN DA HOUSE" *repeat**
Score -56/10
