GoulburnOh grrrr...Shrek 3 Disappoints. Wallabies by 5 Points.
June 16th 2007 12:10
Well, that's my minimum call on this one. The minimum by which we will win by.
Yeah go ahead, laugh it up but my faith in the Wallabies will never waiver.
Until next year...
...sort of forgot that this is a Larkham Rugby blog and I should have posted a Rugby piece earlier because there is a major match on tonight and it's not that I forgot about the match (nah hell no!)....it's just that...I was too busy enjoying the Pleasures of life...the non Guilty ones....like my family...and it being Friday (not today), and the end of a work week, and today was all about being with the M.I.P.s' of my life....
We went to see 'Shrek 3'.
And am I the only totally disappointed? The 11yo and BF enjoyed.
The childults thought it was just...ohhh...grrrr...swamped over and rushed.
And you better believe movies like this are all about and for the childults. Why else would they (for those of you who have seen it) put the sexually suggestive humour in huh?
And my GOD. Justin Timberlake sounds like a 12 yo boy.
Oh. He is?
Anewayyy.
Yes.....there is a match on tonight...soon.....oh my God...in less than 30 minutes...eeek!!!
Here is one of the reason's the Springboks should be worried. Very worried.
(This try is from a 2006 test match against the Boks)
Saturday, 16 June
Kick off 3.00pm (local time).
LIVE on Channel 7 in Sydney and Brisbane from 10.30pm AEST.
Delay in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth on Channel 7 from 11.30pm (local time).
LIVE at 10.30pm AEST on Fox Sports 1.
The Springboks have been showing the best form in international Rugby over the past month. Yeah whatever.
...but....the Boks forwards are brilliant....and dammit...they all want to crunch Larham's bones... I would have said "jump" but that's just mean...
The Bok Forwards are dominating the lineout and scrum, and finally the pretty little Bok Backs are earning their money instead of standing there waiting for the camera to turn on them so that they can strike a pose and look busy.
And no I don't care that the South Africans dominated this years Super 14.
I will say this..if there is one player I think is absolutely fabulous (and a bit of a grrrr..hunk) is John Smit, the Springboks Captain.
And I really like making fun of pretty boy Percy Montgomery who looks a bit like Prince Charming from 'Shrek' but dammit he's an amazing player. And a really nice guy but you didn't hear that from me.
Players to be feared and respected in bold.
So that would be the Forwards but I have also bold-ed the Backs...as players to keep an eye on. Just in case they make a sudden move.
Springboks:
Forwards:
1. Gurthro Stenkamp, 2. John Smit (captain), 3. BJ Botha, 4. Bakkies Botha, 5. Victor Matield, 6. Schalk Burger, 7. Juan Smith, 8. Pierre Spies;
Backs:
9. Ruan Pienaar, 10. Butch James, 11. JP Pietersen, 12. Jean de Villiers, 13. Jacque Fourie, 14. Ashwin Willemse, 15. Percy Montgomery.
Reserves:
16. Gary Botha, 17. CJ van der Linde, 18. Johann Muller, 19. Danie Rossouw, 20. Michael Claassens, 21.Wynand Olivier, 22. Francois Steyn.
*************************
The Wallabies have started their test season with 3 wins. Albeit a bit lacklustre. And way out of sync.
However....they've seen the light and it's name is Dusk...the squad is sort of the way I want it. It would be much better if I was somewhere in there in the Forward pack but I can't tell them what to do and play.
The backline magic:
9 The Guv (George Gregan)
10 Demi God (needs no explanation)
12 Hobbiteau (Matt Giteau)
14 Dorklock (Stirling Mortlock)
The Front Row?...do not expect anything good...Pudding aka Matt Duh-nning (Dunning) is there.
As before;
Players to be feared and respected in bold.
So that would be some of the Forwards but I have also bold-ed the Backs...as players to keep an eye on. Especially that #10...I've heard he's a quite a man....
Wallabies
Forwards:
1. Matt Dunning, 2. Stephen Moore, 3. Guy Shepherdson, 4. Nathan Sharpe, 5. Dan Vickerman, 6. Rocky Elsom, 7. George Smith (v-capt), 8. Wycliff Palu,
Backs:
9. George Gregan, 10. Stephen Larkham, 11. Lote Tuqiri, 12. Matt Giteau, 13. Stirling Mortlock (capt), 14. Drew Mitchell, 15. Julian Huxley.
(actually, I'm not being fair...this is a great backline...all of them...)
Reserves:
16. Adam Freier, 17. Al Baxter, 18. Mark Chisholm, 19. Stephen Hoiles, 20. Phil Waugh, 21. Adam Ashley-Cooper, 22. Mark Gerrard

Well...Timberpuddle is a great entertainer and I do like the way he moves and for some strange reason I do like bustin' a move (and shown' my age jargon-wise) to 'Sexy Back' but....
I. just. don't. get. it.
Hope you're having a great weekend Gorgeous!

Great CGI and stuff but...I don't know.
How can an animated feature fail to deliver????
It just does.
Big hugs...Dusk

Oh the baby dragon-donkeys (dragkeys? donkons?) are so cute...but Even though my youngest enjoyed it...he wasn't rolling in the aisles laughing like with the first one (albeit he was 5 then).
...I firmly believe these films are geared towards adults...after are we're the ones paying for it. And why else bother having all these famous voices? Do the kids really care that Cameron Diaz is Princess Fiona or that Rupert Everett is Prince Charming? And funnily enough...Rupert would be considered too avant garde by the bourgoisie....
This movie was just...insulting
Amazing CGI but...everything else...hurried and an afterthought.
Wait for it to come out on DVD.
