More Stuff That Grinds My Gears

Stuff anoying me 1/. Film posters quoting lines from the critics out of context. I see a film described as 'Fantastic' or 'you must see this movie' those snippets are probably from reviews saying "I find it fantastic that this rubbish got made at all' or 'you must see this movie to really appreciate how awful it is.' 2/. Ads on here and elsewhere for websites showing beautiful singers and film stars from yesteryear and promising to show images of them as they are now, old and wrinkly - yes, just like me and anyone growing old and not having plastic surgery - we age, we die. Live with it! 3/. not being able to think of any more right now but knowing there are lots more to come like this Arthur Chappell

feeling well off and broke (and being well off and broke) on payday, due to bills.

@Jessicalynnt I rarely get the well off bit - I just go straight to broke

@Jessicalynnt I'm dangerously close to that too - my holiday next month will leave April and May very lean months for me

Regarding the films, one Radio 1 film critic said something along the lines that wherever you see "..." in a quote they've probably removed something like "The rest of the film was garbage except..."

Of course we age and it is better to show some wrinkles that "plastic faces". I also hate the quoting lines of critics on films posters.

I hadn't realised how things could be taken out of context as in number 1.
