"Rewatched: 10. 7. Mennään nyt suomeksi, koska tuskin kukaan menettää mitään höpinöiltäni. Ja tulisi varmaan hieman rakentavampaa tekstiä. Helmiä ja sikoja on ristiriitainen tapaus minulle. Välillä koin suurta ärsyynteneisyyttä ja myötähäpeää, ja kun taas välillä nauroin ja no, eipä nyt muita suuria tunteita, pidin sanotaan nyt yksinkertaisuudessaan, elokuvasta. Ehkä korkeimmalla ärsyyntyneisyysasteikko oli Timo Lavikaisessa, jonka tulkinta mahdollisimman kovasta ja rä"

"TV, re-watch The pros: it is fairly entertaining, not too syrupy, it has some funny lines, it has Laura Birn. The cons: I wasn't really rooting for everyone (except the bad guys who'd be able to bring some ruckus in it) and the whole just felt free of ideas."

"Movie about bunch of really annoying guys and little girl who is going to take a part in a song contest. I wanted to turn this off but somehow managed to watch it from beginning to end. This is not just unfunny movie but also depressing and creepy one. There are scenes completely inappropriate for a comedy like the scene where main characters find cut off ass skin from some bag. Also we are supposed to laugh at scene where these same characters are getting drunk and rolling at floor of a liqu"

"Watched 19.11 ---------- Katsottu koulussa varmaan kolmessa osassa, enkä ihan kaikkea muista. Mutta sen muistan, että leffa on paikoittain ihan hauska ja näyttelysuorituksetkin menettelevät, mutta leffa on liian lyhyt ja "Poju" -niminen hahmo on täysin turha. Lisäksi leffa on ajoittain sentimentaalinen ja karjalan murre ottaa välillä pattiin, vaikka itse sitä puhunkin."
