Films Eight, Nine, and Nine and a Half!
Jan. 26th, 2010 10:51 amI was off work yesterday, so watched a few films:
( Films Eight, Nine, and Nine and a Half )
I'm off work again today, so I might watch some more films - I got the two films about Che Guevara (is that how you spell his name?) and they're supposed to be excellent, so I might watch them. Watching the tennis at the moment though - Murry vs Nadal, at the Australian Open. Murray currently has the upper hand, 6-3 in the first set, and they're currently 4-4 in the second. I must say I do prefer Wimbledon though - their shoes squeaking on the court are really annoying, and everyone is wearing such garish colours! I think Nadal is actually wearing a bright orange shirt and a bright pink sweatband - euww! Oh no! Now its 5-4 to Nadal! But it's Murray to serve next, so hopefully he'll win that one :)
One thing I meant to comment on last week was the case of the two young boys in Doncaster who beat up / tortured / left to die two other young boys. It is good that they have been sentanced, but - similar to the Jamie Bulger case, and the boys who murdered him - those boys will get a better life in "prison" than they ever would outside. And they will probably be released before they go into an adult prison, as it would be too "harsh" for them or something. The court stated that the younger boy has psychopathic tendancies, so society has to be properly protected from him for his whole life, in case he does something worse. If they are capable of this now, what will they be like in 5, 10, 15 years time. I wonder if their parents will be somehow punished as well, as it was in part their fault, and I believe their father said that they had been with him all the time, instead of committing the crime. It just makes me angry that they will be let out of prison in a few years, and will possibly be given totally new lives (as in the Jamie Bulger case), while the boys they attacked will have to live with what happened to them for the rest of their lives. I imagine that they are scared to go outside, I know I would be.
Ooh the tennis is getting quite exciting now - 5-5 in the second set, 15-30 to Murray! ooh!!
