Power ballads can be quite emotional, don’t you know?

Oh hello Bill, hello Ted, lovely to see you after all this time
Yep, that’s right, a sequel to Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey has finally been greenlit, so we can finally find out exactly what our two bros have been up to in the intervening years.
Interesting though, how Alex Winter has aged like a normal human being, but Keanu Reeves has the looks of an immortal vampire and has exactly the same face. That’s gonna look weird, isn’t it?

Either Bill or Ted, can’t remember which. Mate, this film came out ages ago
Robots can now pretend to be human so well that you won’t be able to tell the difference, aka WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE UNDERNEATH THEIR METAL BOOTS
Essentially, Google have invented an AI assistant that can actually phone people for you. Yeah, big whoop, you say, big massive whoop from Planet Whoop. Yeah, but then you hear it, and your spine chills to zero degrees because this robot sounds exactly like a human, and there is no way on earth that you would ever be able to spot it. It’s horrible, it must be stopped, and it will be phoning up hitmen to kill you before we know it.

Movie clichés are good, actually, so you better listen up
Sometimes it’s nice to sit back and watch a movie that is going to give you exactly what you want, on repeat, for an hour and a half without even a hint of an original thought or idea.

The world’s worst 2 minutes of video is currently on the Shortlist.com website
Would you like to watch it? Like, it’s actually the worst. You won’t be able to get through it. It is SO gross. Genuinely impressed if anyone can stomach the entirety of its length.
Watch - are you sure you want to do this - the clip, which is obviously from Come Dine With Me, here
Watching someone else’s disgusting first date is predictably quite awkward
Thankfully, most of us don’t have to witness it. Bartenders on the other hand, they do, they absolutely do. And so we asked a bunch of them for their most cringe-worthy stories.
Read them here, if you really fancy feeling horrible and awkward and maybe even a bit sick
It would be very fun and nice and cool to be best friends with The Rock, wouldn’t it? Answer: yes
Novelist David Whitehouse is, he actually is best friends with The Rock, and he’s written all about it so that us lonely, lowly, friendless melons can at least live vicariously through him. It sounds all very exciting, if you ask us.
Imagine what it’s actually like to have a mate who isn’t a hooting dickhead, here
The Rock, your mate (only joking, of course he’s not your mate, ha ha ha hahahahaHAHAHAHA)
