Archive - Area 136

Yep, I did offer up that phrase this past weekend.

Why, well it is a little sad really. I “discovered” the I-tunes visualiser thingamy.

I had just enabled the “Genius” setting that is supposed to make instant play lists after you select one given track. This it duly did, then I hit “play” and let it run, switching on the Visualiser to full screen.

What this does, as I am sure a lot of you know, is give you lots of dancing coloured lights and balls and streaks of light bopping around and exploding and contracting in time to the music being played. Like Wow maaaaaaaaaaannn.

But I found it very hard to tear my eyes away from it, much to the distain of QueeneMan and Mr Wolf, who I was in conversation with at the time.

Mind you, when I made the titular comment at least one of them replied:

“MMMmmmmm yeah…”

TV had to get in on the act last night.

Not that it was showing any of the cheap and awful horror movies featuring lesbian Vampires and lots of nudity that are in favour at Rancho Collapso at the moment, but a really bad film about killer ants.

And this film was so bad that, although it was about killer ants – it was called “The Hive”

Oh god it was rubbish. Hyper intelligent ants becoming self-aware and linking together in a cave to create “a computer” using themselves and passing information via electro chemical means, forming big “arms” made out of millions of ants to swat at the humans, acting as one big organism and even forming themselves into one giant ant at the end of the film.

Utter rubbish.

But still oddly entertaining.
