They're wrong, fyi. It's dogshit.

Saw District 9 last night Solid Sci Fi actioner all round, mostly. I thought some of the politics were heavy handed and shied away from their true potential but the central performances were brilliant, the CGI was absolutely staggering and the plot was really decent. I liked the way it didn't answer many questions, too. Particularly about the nature of the alien technology.

I was just about to post my thoughts on Muse. In short: comedy masterpiece. in shorter: hahaahahaha

That would be fucking tight. It'd be total murder trying to balance though. "Alight lads. Mark a Gargoyle each and lets camp this bitch!" "HOO-RAH!" It was definitely in there. One person played as JD while the other played as the henchmen in each level, popping in and out of heads as they were mown down. Was pretty ropey really but looking back it was actually really brave even trying that on an N64.

I may be about later in the week. mostly busy /playing Batman though.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (XBLA, PSN, WiiWare)

well fuck me. They're actually doing it... -
oooh yes pwese!

but if you can move at super speed it implies an ability to control it, too. Sadly, you don't see The Flash twatting himself in to walls regularly. I believe the current technical term for Deadpool is 'piss funny'. That bit where he 'blends in' in San Fransisco had me doubled over choking with laughter. I went in to shock. and God knows where that last line is taking the series. I can't wait.

Kind of the point if you ask me. Not that you did, but I'm not one to stand on ceremony when dealing with my opinion

I often think that Florence could do with a bit more subtlety in her vocals, actually. It;s very impressive when it works but not that nuanced. Still, she's young and clearly talented. Great night tonight. My friend Joseph came round mid afternoon and gave me a spare ticket for the Explosions In The Sky gig I thought I'd missed out on. Such a nice surprise. It was a really good set, too. They never stopped playing all night- merely moving from one song to another in a steady stream of sound. Beautiful, beautiful music by brilliant musicians.

Your Favourite Place...In The Wooooorld
Dan_Dare replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
Heh, and there I was picturing a totally remote/ woodland kind of lagoon from all your stories. Funny, that. Re: Houses- my humble abode is something in the region of 150 years old, so if one were to find old ass pictures of my road, little in the architecture would be noticeably different. The only major change would be the green in the middle of the road, which used to be a tennis court back when the road was built. Oh and someone's house got blown up in the war. That too. -
and there I was preferring the production. hm hm. hmm!
-
I'd forgotten about BFL being in the running. I really like her album, too. Hmm. I think I'm alone here thinking that her second album was an improvement though.

because they sucked, one imagines :p

"I love you. In a way..."

So - any thoughts on the Mercury Prize, forum? Florence looks to take it (which I'd be fine with. Lungs was unexpectedly great) but I'd kinda like to see Friendly Fires pick up the award too. They're refreshingly poppy and exciting at a time when rock is increasingly moribund.

I think the super speed is handled fine. The only thing I find strange is that, if you were capable of moving that fast, you'd surely never get hit because your reflexes are that high. in other news: Deadpool just hit new heights. I know I'm a week late but I've had no internets. Absolutely hilarious. Iron Man remains Marvel's best series by country miles of not inconsiderable number. Great stuff.

Your Favourite Place...In The Wooooorld
Dan_Dare replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
contender: Glencoe, Scotland. The word awesome is overused to death these days but Glencoe is truly deserving of it. I've driven down it several times on holidays to Scotland over the years and it's always an amazing experience. It's the one place where I really feel the scale of nature, history and all the other forces around us. I went there last week and it's still as thrilling as the first time I saw it. -
That's rubbish.

race you. One of my favourite albums. Bit enraged: after finding out about an Explosions in the sky gig in sheff Months ago, I tried to buy tickets last week and they were sold out. fail. on a lighter note: I did get my hands on tickets for Simian Mobile Disco instead. Really looking forward to that.

If anyone cares: The Road, recently shown at Venice Film Festival, got 4 stars in The Guardian. Apparently it's absolutely superb. I was slightly worried about it, but huzzah!

Agreed. Really good week. check it out: EPIC SPOILER GRADE map of The walking Dead It shows all the real world locations of all the major events of the series and the route taken by Team Grimes. I had no idea Kirkman et al had actually planted their protagonists in real locations.
