So here we are, gang...Barrhead News column number 52!
I’ve been doing this for a whole year now and at least three of the columns have been quite good. Not great but, you know, not every week can be a winner.
In all seriousness, I would like to thank the good people at the Barrhead News for giving me this chance and letting me talk about anything I want week after week.
I’ve had a number of ideas over the past year but this is a good one.
It’s one you may have experienced during the build-up to the cinema release of Avengers: Infinity War and it’s all about the word ‘spoilers.’
I would suggest that spoilers has got to go. It just has to.
Does that mean people should spill the secrets of a film? Actually, yes!
What does it matter? If I’m excited about a film (let’s take Avengers for example) and a friend tells me what happens in it, my theory is that I shouldn’t be any less enthused about seeing it.
If you’re really excited about something, nothing should be able to spoil it.
Actually, being given a spoiler has helped me a few times because life is too short to watch bad movies.
I wish someone had told me the truth about so many rubbish films and shows before I had started watching them.
Recently, I read that, if you spend eight hours a day asleep, by the time you hit 80 you will have slept for 33 years.
Well, just try to imagine how much time you’ve spent watching bad entertainment.
I know for a fact that, on my death bed, I’m going to regret the time I wasted watching the Resident Evil movies.
And I don’t know about you but, if I’m spending 33 years asleep, I want those last two hours back.
There’s a lot of pie I haven’t eaten yet...
