Untitled
I’ve only slept for 5 hours and it’s 7:30am and I’m feeling funny and it’s laundry day, so I guess it’s time for an update. So. Time to list a few things I did during my week-long, post-exam break:
- Played Street Fighter IV. It was pretty spectacular. I would like to play it using an arcade stick or something.
- Went to see Valkyrie, liked it.
- Watched The Wicker Man (1973, not the one with Nicolas Cage), found it ridiculous, will probably enjoy the remake more.
- Read V for Vendetta in Greek, was kewl.
- Watched every single episode of Flight of the Conchords. Loved it!
- Played some Metroid Fusion.
- Played Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3.
- Listened to TONS of podcasts. It’s become a habit.
The Game (1997)
Note: This was initially supposed to be a review of the film in less than 100 words, but didn’t work out. It was also supposed to be edgy and funny, but that’s expecting too much of my writing. What it ended up being instead is a warning.
Visiting Uwe: The Uwe Boll Homestory
I just finished watching this 45-minute-long interview with infamous movie director Uwe Boll. Yes, it’s the video game dude. But it’s quite interesting, since it’s not about video games. It’s about movies and Uwe is his usual outspoken, controversial self. And no, he doesn’t challenge anyone to a boxing match this time around (I… think?).
The Sun Comes Up
So I’m flicking through the cyber-pages of IMDB and I come across a 1949 Lassie film called The Sun Comes Up. Having no idea how got there and feeling slightly confused (did cinema really exist in 1949?), I decide to read what few info there is about the film and- OHSHIT!?
Friday Playlist: John Lennon, no singles (part 2)
[Continued from part 1].
I foolishly restricted myself to one CD’s worth of running time, so I guess I got what I deserved, but making this playlist was hard. I wisely decided, right from the beginning, not to delve into alternative takes or demos, but half way through the process I realised I had to omit Rock ‘n’ Roll (1975) entirely if I wanted to keep the playlist under 90 minutes.
