What I’ve been watching – Alice and Gamer
… want to watch the original storyline of Alice in Wonderland best to avoid, but I did like it.
Gamer
Okay, I wanted to see this for a while and a couple of people on Twitter told me this was good. I don’t completely agree with them but then I don’t completely disagree either. It’s an interesting concept, it’s like The Running Man meets Death Race meets The Sims meets Modern Warfare 2 in a dark alley and they all decided to go out and have a drink together. Some of works …

The other day I listed off ten movies that I’m still looking forward to this year and since ten is a nice round number there are obviously other films that I’ll be looking out for this year and I thought it unfair not to mention them:
I’ll address the biggest eyebrow raise in there I’m sure straight away with Full Moon the second of the Twilight films, I didn’t enjoy the first movie nor did I see it as some cinematic masterpiece, in fact far from it. However once curiosity was through killing off cats it got the better of me and forced me to watch the film because I had read the book. Curiosity is once again my co-driver in this case and I’m morbidly curious to see how this pans out.
Where the Wild Things Are is a touchstone book from mine and I suspect a lot of people’s childhood and from everything I see this is going to be really interesting and hopefully beautiful, I have faith that it will be if the studio can keep their grubby little mitts out of the mix.
Speaking of childhood touchstones, Astro Boy was a HUGE part of my childhood, we all loved Astro Boy, I didn’t watch the newer series of it but I will certainly give this a look, I’m glad they didn’t go with a live action version as that would have been tenuous at best.
I love the Universal Pictures monsters from the early days and I look forward to the Wolfman with some caution, I hope that it is really awesome however I don’t know what constitutes awesome in this case since the original is a masterpiece.
2012 is a big old bag of rubbish, however I dig end of the world films and I’m assuming a film by the creators of Independence Day will only serve to undermine the panicky idiot types who think that a wiped out race of child sacrificing people who happened to have a calender have predicted accurately the end of the world. I’m hoping there are explosions.
Gamer is one of those films that yeah sure I’m interested in seeing but I’m sure it won’t turn my world onto its ear. Of course if it does then booyah for it and me! If it doesn’t I won’t be sending Gerald Butler hate mail or pictures of cheese. I hope the X-Box people don’t watch it and get ideas.
And finally Year One, it just looks funny, I was pleased to see Jack Black returning to some form with Tropic Thunder and I don’t have to hate on Michael Cera for holding out on an Arrested Development movie as I believe he is on board for such a mind numbingly awesome event. Besides it is directed by Spengler and we all love Spengler.
I think that about covers them all, please let me know if there is a movie I may have missed in all of the new blog excitement!
Yes I know.
I’m an awful blogger, I never write, I never podcast, I leave you all hanging for days on end.
I get that.
I’d apologise but we both have been here before.
But there are reasons, not excuses, but reasons!
Number one reason is the television show Lost.
I promised Lost fan after Lost fan that I would indeed watch their treasured Lost but would do so on my terms and not at the hands of some drug crazed one eyed fighting monkey television programmer. I even bought the first season on DVD ages ago with the promise of watching it ad free and one after an other.
So with the final season upon us and Twitter so full of spoilers that they should change the name of the microblog to “Super terrific we spoil your tv shows and movies that you want to watch internet thingie” (in all fairness though I doubt that name would catch on) we have embarked on the Lost journey, sacrificing gaming, cleaning and sleep to watch episode after episode.
We’re coming up to the end of season 4 and only have had two or three major spoilers thrown our way (if I unfollow you on Super terrific we spoil your tv shows and movies that you want to watch internet thingie don’t feel too bad, I’ll follow you again after we catch up).
But it must be said that apart from taking time away from the aforementioned sleep etc it does cut heavily into my blogging time which brings me to my next reasons.
No time for blogging!?!?!
I know.
So I have a new blog called Mashing Buttons that I’ve started with fellow casual gamer Greg and yeah sure the Midnight Movie Club is still going strong (we even made it to some screen on iTunes which was very exciting to be considered new).
But you know I love you though don’t you?
Quit Your Day Job is still the one, I won’t say those other blogs don’t mean anything to me, they’re just different.
Maybe you should start following them too?
Come on don’t be like that, you know you want to.
