...with McFLYing Colours
|
 A couple of weeks back I went and saw the new Lindsay Lohan movie "Just My Luck", which just so happens to also star one of my favourite pop bands in the world, McFLY.
The movie wasn't as bad as I expected it to be (obviously not seeing as I've now seen it at the movies a total of three times - only 10 times shy off the number of times I saw "Spiceworld" at the cinemas, and 11 time shy off my "Evita" big screen viewings), Lindsay looked a bit worn for wear coked off her skull, but everyone else was brilliant in it. The boys were surprisingly good actors (Danny took the cake as being the most natural on camera though), and Anna from the O.C. was as "cultured" as ever. Dougie speaks a total of about five words, which is quite a nice surprise because they leave it till the almost-very-end.
Dougie also vomits shortly after he speaks. That's about all you need to know really.
So whilst there has been an obvious overflow of joy each time I've seen the movie, I have quickly transferred my excitement to something else in the McFLY camp. Whilst everyone across the pop loving nooks of the world are getting extremely excited over the Justin Timberlake comeback (which, quite frankly, is set to be the pop comeback of the year), I've managed to get myself into fits of enthusiasm over news on the McFLY comeback. Indeed, if their new single "Please Please" - a bit of a tongue-in-cheek number based on "Just My Luck" co-star Lindsay Lohan - is anything to go by, then it seems that the boys have indeed banished all Radiohead CDs out of their collections, and they are now well and truly back on the anti-depressants.
HOW EXCITING!
There are now just so many reasons building up as to why not only myself, but ALL of you, my lovely readers, should generate an abnormal amount of excitement over the 'Fly returning. To make things easier for you all, here is a selection. And in true hilarious (!) IAR fashion, it's in bloody point form.
- The new single is very, very good.
- The new clip is very, very good.
- Danny Jones has, hands down, the sexiest voice in pop.
- Dougie looks set to do some more singing on the new album. If you remember correctly, he had the show-stopping "But if you turn your back on me now, etc etc" line in "Too Close For Comfort" on last years "Wonderland".
- They're not just nice to look at, the boys are also, hands down (so many hands going down today), the finest musicians and writers-of-music in the world of pop today.
- We all may get to own a proper studio recording of the Dougie-penned "Silence Is A Scary Sound", the absolute highlight of the Wonderland Tour from last year.
- Speaking of the new album, Tom, in this months UK Cosmo, says "McFLY had started to become dull and depressing. The new albums much more like the band we were when we first started." Danny soon follows with "We wanted to bring personality back to our music and add some excitement. Our new albums more in your face. It's brilliant." So, the actual translation of all of that is: "Our last album, although it was probably one of the greatest things we will EVER do, was, frankly, really depressing, and people thought it was a little bit ropey in comparison to our first album. So now we've
decided we're going to work with Stuart Price made a kick arse new record which will make everything else we've done in the past sound nowhere near as good."
- Thank heavens for that then!
- Dougie has a new tattoo. It begins on his shoulders and looks very nice above his nipple. Click on the thumbnail to make him (or yourself) bigger. (Special thanks to dougiepoynter.net for the picture too) Let's try and leave any "hands down" jokes out of this one, shall we?
So there you have it. Average-to-good new movie, awesome new single, brilliant new video clip, and to top it all off, an ace third studio album on its way.
No wall we have to do is wait patiently for Nadine from Girls Aloud to get dumped by Jesse Metcalfe so she can go back home to the UK and help record the 4th Aloud studio album. And as for Sarah being with Stephen Dorf, well, we all know that if she tells him drugs and whiskey not only exist, but are fairly easy to obtain in London, he'll no doubt put the band first and move down with her when her holidays end in August.
I thought Jesse Metcalfe was gay anyway?
