Chuck.

I have no idea who Chuck is, or how Jessica Alba acting sexy with a melted ice cream has anything to do with the film, but its bound to do well isn’t it?

It is pretty rare these days that a film slips past my radar - but I’ve not heard a word about Good Luck Chuck (2007) - at least until this evening. It would seem that the posters (the other two shown below) have created all kinds of a stir.

Apparently, these three posters are morally repugnant. Okay, so they may insinuate something just a little bit phallic, a little bit rude maybe - but geez - surely that’s a product of the corrupt mind viewing it? (and yes, for the record, I am including myself in the afore mentioned ‘corruption’ :P)… I don’t know, just seems a little crazy, people getting worked up about some posters for a movie most people probably haven’t even heard of. Cast your mind back to the posters of Hostel II that were deemed too ‘graphic’ for publication - and then the ‘Captivity’ posters, picturing Elisha Cuthbert pressed against glass (presumably) under dirt.. banned too. And I’m still not sure why.

Where does it end really…?

…

Tonight I scored myself a new office chair to go in the new room. It’s Burgundy (cue the Anchorman jokes) and goes quite well with the lounge and the second ottoman.

Box opened…

And after some masterful and magical construction, comparable to something from David Copperfield’s stage shows, the chair was completed. No more than 5 minutes from unpacking to being able to sit down. No screwdriver required - just an (included) Allen key and 6 screws. No swearing or cursing. Just a simple clip and turn job.

Fantastic.
