Power mad & slightly Preposterous

Shame Shame Shame.

I'm probably just doing the part that was planned for me by movie-marketing trolls when commenting this- but it has to be commented- Count Olaf is the blatant marketing of a certain Jim Carrey movie - but blog-style - the evil dude in the movie having a supposed evil blog.

It's just not right. A blog is supposed to be the epitome of truthfulness - as an anonymous user you have the freedom to bare your soul and c-cups alike, because you can! And because you have C-cups! It seems wrong to start a blog and pen fictional stuff with the sole purpose of raising nerdish rage which later subsides into nerdish curiousity, which turns into nerdish dollars?

Before realising that the face in the portrait space had an uncanny resemblance to the actor in question, I was almost quite pleased with some new blood asserting their superiority via the web. How quickly did the dismay set in! How quickly did I find myself on imdb trying to find out when the movie was to be released!

But a Christmas movie it is, despite its low-down and dirty tactics, and I am booking myself into the front row, where I shall try to enjoy the movie as best as possible without the guilt of my shameless further marketing of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" hanging above my head like the sword of some movie usher aptly named Damocles, I pre-sume.

I shall bury it in my popcorn. I shall bury it deep.
