This weekend I had the dubious pleasure of watching the sequel to the film Pitch Black, namely the Chronicles of Riddick.
Pitch Black is one of my favourite movies and were I to sit down and actually think about it, it would probably make it into my top 20. The storyline is brilliant, the performances are (mostly) well acted and the delivery and believeability is very convincing which a difficult thing to achieve, I think, in a sci-fi movie.
I was aware that reviews of the Chronicles of Riddick were less than favourable before watching it however felt I wanted to find out what it was all about on the back of my liking of Pitch Black. And well I can say that the Chronicles of Riddick is nothing short of absolute garbage. I would do a summary of what the plot and storyline was but it didn’t appear to have one. Just a collection of ill-conceived flashy visuals and Vin Diesel hanging around issuing weak one-liners in between.
Go watch Pitch Black people, its good. Don’t watch the Chronicles of Riddick, it’s not worth your time.
And now with a linking line as weak as Vin Diesel’s in the Chronicles of Riddick, to take everyone out of the dark regarding my previous post and the withdrawal of paragraph two just three hours after it being posted.
The events prophesied in it became rather high profile, very fast and could potentially have been prejudicial if in the (albeit unlikely) event that they were found before the event to which they referred occurred. For those that read the post in the small window when paragraph two was available; a temporary stop notice was served by me and Gem, with a police escort, which was actually rather fun after all the stressing I did about it.

Of course I now have to deal with the consequences of last Fridays events which I am presently avoiding.
