Today's post is brought to you by Belarus' Eurovision Entry (click on the watch button on the right to be blown away!). I would be against Belarus being allowed in Eurovision, being Europe's last dictatorship, but a couple of years ago they had a really cute vote announcer. That makes it all okay. Or not. In related news I now have every Eurovision song since 1956 on my iPod. Yay!
X-Men
I am now also the proud owner of the entire X-Universe Chronology thanks to the glory that is .cbr files. This makes me very, very happy. And the movie looks good... and so does Colossus...
V For Vendetta
Last night, after a trip to Pizza Hut, Jim, Zoe, and I went to the Galleria to see V For Vendetta. This is one hell of a good movie! Stephen Fry's in it. Plus the storyline ain't too bad either! Kept me interested all the way through.
Staropramen
Jim brought me back some from Paul and Jane's. YUM!

V: It's also for Valueless gibberish. Yet another graphic novel has been bulldozed on to the screen, strutting its stuff for an assumed army of uncritical geeks - a fanbase product from which the fanbase has been amputated. This film manages to be, at all times, weird and bizarre and baffling, but in a completely boring way. Watching it is like having the oxygen supply to your brain slowly starved over more than two hours.
ReplyDeleteThat's from the Guardian review. The poor man really misses the point!
I also saw it last night with a friend who was seeing it for the second time. It's not a film I'd see twice within the space of a few days but I really enjoyed it. Natalie Preston wasn't brilliant but it didn't detract from a really good two hours and a bit of very enjoyable watching.
Am I alone in saying that they should make a colossus movie with Daniel Cudmore? He is all that and more. (no pun intended)
