I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.

I read quite the scathing review of Les Miz the other night. As I did with the positive reviews, I laughed. It seems people have very strong opinions, firmly for or firmly against. I have yet to see an ambiguous review.
There is a massive hate campaign which seems to be connected to the Weinstein promoted film Silver Linings Playbook. I’ve never seen anything like it. The scathing comments on line against the film, Hugh, and Hathaway has just been God awful. Loved that it took three Golden Globes and Argo took best picture rather than SLP.
