Watched Die Another Day just cos it was on telly and I was bored. What a crap bond film! I fell asleep at the end but I suspect the bad guy lost and bond ended up in bed with halle berry again.

Ice Age is on now but my parents are busy entertaining at the moment, and I have no tv or cable in my room, bah!

I lost interest in that film roundabout when they brought out the invisible Jaguar. Even by Bond film standards that's just silly.

Anyway, watched today "Robotech-The Shadow Chronicles"
Sequel to an 80s cartoon I never actually saw. So a tad confusing.
Still, lots of stuff exploding so worth getting, I feel.

I've just finished watching 'The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy' and my God it made me laugh. I could never get into the book but the film had me in hysterics at points ;D Specifically Marvin, he's amazing. And when the two mice go 'oh BOLLOCKS' at the end when they're getting squashed ;D

Yeyyy!

You lose, Radio Show beats them both. :P

As for movies I've watched Threads and The Plague Dogs today, pretty fucking grim way to spend a day, I don't think I've ever seen 2 such despair ridden films before, not even the faintest glimmer of hope in either. Not to say their not good.

I watched half of The Wedding Singer before my parents came in - must say, for Adam Sandler it was depressing haha. Haven't finished watching it yet though. Will watch the rest laterrr.

The Wedding Singer is a Classic, i think it's Sandlers best film!

I watched Wrong Turn the other night.

Dumb, cliched and rehashed but the main character had the same name as me and it was fun.

Is wrong turn the one with the in-bred cannibals that can't die? That was alright as far as I remember.

Watched A Scanner Darkly the other day. I thought it was pretty good, nothing spectacular, but pretty good, and the rotoscoping was ace.

Along with that I bought Dead Man's Shoes which is one of my favourite British films. Both DVDs were £3 in the HMV sale!
