So today was another trip to town for the cinema.

I went pretty early, cute I was going for the 10 am showing of Disclosure Day. So I was able to hit a few places beforehand. I went to the clearance place but they didn’t have much but! They did have a Funko of Dustin from Season 4 (in his battle armour) so I picked him up. Then I went in CEX to pick up Black Phone 2 since I saw they had it in stock at last. So that’s another of my fav films from last year ticked off physically.

They also had the new Thunderbirds boxset behind the counter which looks pretty impressive. I really need to get it sometime.

After going in b and m for stuff for mum, (and the entertainer to look if they got the clearance Link, they’d not I might need to order it) I went to the cinema (but more on that under the cut).

Between showings I went to Argos and got flareon Funko cause it was on sale, I looked if smyths still had the stranger things care bear I saw last time and it was Lucas, so I got him. Then I had noms at Burger King (alas the force fries are finished boo) and then went back for my second showing of Mandalorian And Grogu.

Trailers were mostly ones I’d see before. There was Hunger Games, Spider Man and Supergirl. Plus there were ones new to me.

Heart Of The Beast: Wilderness survival with Brad Pitt and a dog. Not my thing, but valid of his character saying he shot someone who hurt his dog.
Pressure: World War II film about how weather affected the d-day landings. Looks like it’s done well but not something I’d watch at the cinema.
The End Of Oak Street: I’d seen a trailer for it before but this was a different one. A neighbourhood finds itself back in time… with dinos. Looks like it could be good
The Odyssey: I’m sure I saw this one online cause it’s clear that Robert Paterson’s character and Tom Holland is gonna spawn toxic yaoi. I’m so gonna see it.

Anyway onto films, first being Disclosure Day

I’m not sure when my next cinema trip is gonna be. I had planned to go next week but the hospital trip is between two planned streams. Wednesday might have been Angels Egg and Friday might have been Jurassic Park, but obviously both are unlikely. So next time might not be until Supergirl. But we’ll see.

It did feel appropriate to start this months pass with Mandalorian and Grogu and end it (unless I see something before Saturday) with it too.

On the way back home I saw some cute ducklings! Which I posted on insta along with pics of other things. They’re such cute lil fluffballs.

I had to get some stuff for mum once I got back so I popped in the sweet shop after the co-op and was so thrown off cause the girl there said I had a nice voice (that she could listen to for hours and read audio books) and ??? Cause I’ve always hated my voice so that was really bizarre.

I’m gonna watch the seapeekay charity stream (protecting voice artists from AI) and then watch Brokenwood and maybe watch more Tales of 85 or something.

So I had hoped to do this post last night, had even started it, but I totally crashed last night, first tuning out then going zzz completely.

Wednesday night ended up being low energy again. I pretty much just set up the laptop to transfer switch 2 caps over (oop there’s over 6000 each on pokopia and Tomodachi life, I’ve gotta go through and delete a bunch now) and watched the last two Amazing Digital Circus eps that were on Netflix.

Yesterday was a trip to town for Masters Of The Universe (and Amazing Digital Circus). I didn’t do much beforehand just got more cat food from b and m, picked up Sleep Token tees from Primark and gettting noms. I also went in Smyths but I couldn’t see the demogorgon they were meant to have (the Care Bears were Lucas and Mike not Dustin like I hoped, but I did get a Funko of a plant and Kane from Alien, with a chestburster on his face).

I love the guy at the cinema, he said I’d be able to see the earlier showing of Digital Circus (I wasn’t sure causa timing so it saved me sitting around for an hour) and up he loved Mandalorian season 3 too! (Which is oddly rare). Though it’s odd he hasn’t seen the film despite literally working in a cinema showing it,

The showing for Masters Of The Universe was pretty quiet, I think there was only about 10 of us which felt a bit of a shame, but then maybe other showings did better. By contrast The Amazing Digital Circus showing was pretty full. The only showing of something that was fuller was Iron Lung, but hey it’s good that people are coming to see this stuff in cinemas.

Trailers were largely ones I’d seen before, so there was Supergirl, Spiderman and The Odyssey.also one called One Night Only but the premise seems strange (like there’s no way humans would have sex be legal for one night of the year). I missed some of the Digital Circus trailers but there was one for Angel’s Egg (I’m kinda curious) and, ironically Masters Of The Universe. (I am curious what the other trailers were).

Also before I went in someone came from one of the other screens and I heard The Mandalorian And Grogu music which made me wanna see it again. Maybe when I see Disclosure Day next Saturday. (But I digress)

Before going into the films, if you’re seeing Masters Of The Universe there is both a mid and post credits scene.

Having said that thoughts ahoy! (Shouldn’t be too spoilery though)

Next cinema trio should be Monday to see the new Scary Movie but also an Attenborough documentary on the Ocean and I’m a sucker for the sea. Then I’m hoping to see Disclosure Day once my money goes in.

This weekend there’s some gaming things (summer game fest and x-box direct) but I’m also hoping to watch stuff. The original Scary Movie is on prime so I’m hoping to see it before the new one (oddly 2, 3 and 5 are too but not 4). I might try and do a run over the next week + if I can find 4 (I’ve not seen 5). And I wanna try and watch Pizza Movie or Touch Me. We’ll see.

I might finally get back to The Pitt tonight too and start Criminal Minds Saturday (cause Connor Storrie is in it) and continue spider-noir (it’s really good so far!). And try and finish Welcome To Derry(watch more Tales Of 85 and Heated Rivalry, but we’ll see what I fit in)

The week has continued to be low energy, mostly due to the heat.

After the last post the Lego Anzellan ship I ordered came, so I spent Tuesday building that and it’s a really nice lil ship. I love the lil Anzellans so much and they’re so cute. The only thing is they’re so small they can’t interact with anything (even more odd as they give them a full range of toys but they can’t hold them so ??). Also one of the pieces flew off again, like with the x-wing (and two engine pieces, I’ve found one but..) oddly it’s not on the site to order a replacement.

Wednesday I made a start on my pile of blu rays that came recently and watched Obex. It’s about a guy that gets transported into the world of a computer game, on a quest to save his dog. The main issue is that it takes half the film to get to the titular Obex (and spent, mostly, with one guy) but once you get there (but he has someone to bounce off of) it’s really good. It’s just a shame it takes so long to get there, but at least the dog is a cutie.

I was intending to watch through the blu ray pile one a week but I added another thing to it (oops) a film called Touch Me which has a tentacled alien so of course I’m intruiged (it also comes with a bonus film, Hypochondriac, and a booklet called Queerness Made Flesh)

We had to get stuff from the co-op and, to my surprise, they finally had Pokémon cards so I impulse got some (one yesterday, one when I went back today) and the art is so good and ah! One of the ones I got was mareep!

Last night I decided to watch Gonjiam Haunted Asylum on shudder and damn! It was so good and done so well. Easily one of the best found footage films I’ve seen in awhile.

After that I finally watched Welcome To Derry. The plan was to watch both of the remaining eps together but I wasn’t up to it so just watched the first one. Damn though, that ep at the Black Spot was so horrific. Like what the fuck? I’m planning on watching the finale tonight.

Today was the town trip and I went in a few places before the cinema. I didn’t get some of the things I was intending to (I saw there were Star Wars lollipop collectibles at b and m but I didn’t see them, I might look Monday, Smyths didn’t have the Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper Funko and the entertainer didn’t have the Young Jedi Adventures ship, Burger King didn’t have anything, though maybe that ones for the best cause I just ebayed the last two). But I did get other stuff.

The clearance place had the micro galaxy squadron Sith Infiltrator (Darth Maul’s ship from Ep I), a black series Princess Leia (in her iconic white outfit) and a pumbaa plushie which was more of an impulse by. Smyths hana randomly reduced Black Series Vader and the squark van. (I still don’t understand the figures for Stranger Things, how they hardly make anyone and only do one wave.) and Asda had a tee of Mandalorians.

At the cinema I got the combo with the cup and the tin (I wasn’t given a choice of tin but I got the capper of Grogu with the scope which is cute). It seems the At-at’s were gone though which was a shame but I guess they didn’t have many to begin with.

The trailers for Backrooms were mostly new, bar Ice Cream Man (don’t wanna see) and Disclosure Day (which I do). There was also a new trailer for Evil Dead Burn, which does a better job of making me wanna see it, plus the new Insidious film (which does look pretty good).

But anyway, Backrooms! (Under the cut, but I don’t say much about it beyond what’s in the trailers)

( Read more... )

After the film I went in Asda then Poundland to get a drink and it was then I realised I was flagging big time. There was no way I could make it through my planned second watch of Mandalorian And Grogu so I just came home. I dunno if it was cause of the heat or lugging around cat food or both (along with the prospect of going to sainsburys tomorrow to pick something up for mum, ugh).

Ah well, maybe I will rewatch another time. Next film trip will be Masters Of The Universe next week (along with Amazing Digital Circus maybe, or Scary Movie but it depends).

I did nap once I got back, but I still feel pretty tired. I’m just gonna watch stuff on tv then hopefully Welcome To Derry and bundle up.

Tomorrow is that annoying trip, plus hopefully watching the Doctor Who Movie.

And I just opened up the Strnager Things van and it’s such a nice set, it’s a shame they didn’t bother making many figures for it. (For reference, they did Eleven, Dustin and a demo as figures, plus Steve with this and Robin with a bigger set of the studio) It’s so baffling. I might get have to find the Dustin at this scale so Steve isn’t alone, if I can find him (I do have the bigger one cause I was gifted it but the 4 inch one seems hard to find. Fuck they really screwed the distribution over). Oh! But I do have a Will though, but that’s a season 1 Will.

So yesterday I was pretty much unsettled after getting the letter so couldn’t really do anything. Focus was off the entire day so all I managed was mindless gaming things on Fortnite.

I think Leia sensed the bad vibes cause when I went to bed she curled up behind my head and purred like crazy. (The purring is standard the placement is new)

This morning right before I was due to go out I had another letter (or rather two because for some reason they send these in pairs). I have another appointment, same day an hour earlier. Which of course sent mum crazy. We had settled, yesterday (and her idea) on heading to Wolverhampton before the hospital but now she wants us to go straight there which ugh. I didn’t wanna talk about it when I was just about to head out though, but ugh. Hopefully though that does mean I only have two things at those set times and that’s it which be good.

I did head to town today cause I just needed to get out. I got Starburst magazine and new Fantastic 4 from Smiths and the crow inquistor Funko from Smyths (an exclusive, which was reduced which was a surprise)

I was debating between just seeing Obsession and seeing Rose Of Nevada too so I decided on seeing both, of course when I got to the cinema I found my phone was out of charge but I had my pad to use my pass. I should get the card, I wish there was a way of doing it.

Between films (instead of after like I planned) I went to Burger King and got another Mandalorian cup, so that’s two down. I still haven’t got the one I want most but this one has Grogu which looks cute.

I did find out from the cinema that they are getting something for The Mandalorian but they dunno what yet.

The horror trailers were mostly the same, which is odd cause you think with Obsession and Hokum out they’d have added at least one more to replace them but nope.(though Passengers is now the newer trailer and confirmed to be coming to the cinema with a standee). I do wanna see evil dead burn now I know Tyler’s actor is in it.

I missed some of the Rose Of Nevada trailers. As I came in Disclosure Day was playing which I’m curious about. Then there was A Private Life which was French, but seems to be a murder mystery/investigation thing so I’m curious. Tuner I’d seen in the coming soon on the cinema but not seen much about. It’s got kinda heist vibes.

Anyway thoughts on both films under the cut. (Note there will be slight spoilers for both so avoid if you’re gonna see the )

( Read more... )

Next cinema trio will be one week from today to see The Mandalorian And Grogu! Yippie! Since I’m going with mum I dunno if I’ll see a second film, but if I do it’ll be probably Passenger depending on times, (since I’m going to the first showing at 10 am, much like I did with Fantastic 4) but we’ll see when showings go up

I got to the station just as the train was about to leave but the conductor person saw me arrive and let me on. So I got home in good time.

I’m gonna bundle up and… I dunno what my plan is tonight. Maybe The Pitt or finishing the Androzani special features. It depends on mood/tiredness.


Obsession
Rose

So I did end up going today, though more cause mum announced (last night) that I was ‘going no matter what’ which kinda meant I didn’t have a choice.

The new sfx came this morning, so I took that with me and read some of the reviews. The cover of the issue is about Stranger things tales of 85, plus the issue has stuff on From (which I need to watch) and some horror things. The teaser for the next one has Lestat (I still need to watch Interview).

Once I was in town I went straight to the record store and didn’t have too much luck. It had been open since 8 and I got there after 10 so I wasn’t surprised the BMTH album had gone (and they didn’t even get the Pokémon one). It wasn’t a total loss though, I did get the Doctor Who one, which was a red vinyl of The Rescue.

The Smiths had Star Wars cards which surprised me so I got some, along with some cheap sweets and drink.

Then I went in the art gallery. Third floor was closed to prep for a new exhibit and some other rooms seemed closed off too alas, but there was a nice photography one on the top floor and I saw my fav painting that they have (this one). What surprised me though was seeing there was a Picasso and a Van Gogh in the regular collection.

(Speaking of art we’ve been watching something about japan every week night, one ep had cute deer! And mum saw the great wave painting and loved it which was sweet)

I didn’t go anywhere else really but from a cancer charity shop I got a bake off apron, Fairy Tail dvd, Agatha Christie book and hellfire duvet set.

At the cinema I had waffle fries and read some of the sfx.

I ended up seeing The Magic Faraway Tree and The Mummy which were both wildly different. One was U and the other was 18.

But first trailers. A fair few were ones I’d seen but new to me were
Charlie the wonderdog: looks fun enough, basically a dog gaining powers cause of aliens and so saves people (plus there’s an evil cat)
Hitpig: trailer felt too short to come up with proper thoughts but it looks nice
Ice Cream Man: First time seeing the trailer and… eh. I don’t think I’ll see it. (Kids killing adults causa something in ice cream just doesn’t sound appealing)
Evil Dead Burn: wasn’t too sure what to make of trailer but then I’ve not seen Evil Dead fully before so…

Other stuff was standard current horror film trailers: Passenger (not the new one sadly), Obsession, Backrooms (yay Backrooms twink!), Hokum (a new trailer, which is better at selling it). I’m probably gonna see all of those.

And now film thoughts. Under a cut as always.

That ends month 9 of the pass. Ironically I’ve seen 9 films during it, which is the most I’ve done in a month. (Also with these last 2 I’m over 20 for the year already which is crazy when you think most ray I’d be lucky to hit 5 the whole year).

Month 9: March 20th - April 20th
20: Project Hail Mary
2: They Will Kill You, Ready Or Not Here I Come
4: Arco, Super Mario Galaxy (3D)
13: Exit 8, Undertone
18: The Magic Faraway Tree, The Mummy

Obviously my fav of these was a Project Hail Mary but most of them are all pretty strong. I feel They Will Kill You is the only real weak link and even that was still entertaining enough.

Next cinema trip should be Hokum or maybe the Sheep Detectives or both (but I would like to see Hail Mary again too)

I have, belatedly, watched the next Doctor Who ep in my run (Resurrection Of The Daleks) but thoughts on thwt will come later cause I’ve happend enough and yawning.

Yesterday ended up being a kinda tiring day. I was recharging from the late night cinema trip then we had to head out to get some stuff from the co-op (the one by the station not up the road, cause we had a voucher for there).

That meant I didn’t do much yesterday, just watching a random film on tv (Carry On Dick, which makes me wonder are the Carry On films known outside of the uk?), then beyond paradise before zoning out.

This morning I went to town again. I got the little Easter egg make and take from the entertainer, as well as a big plush of Nubs (on clearance, it’s a shame the young Jedi adventures stuff is reduced so often but then I’ve not watched as much of it as I should). Then got some bits for mum before the cinema.

Trailers:
Oddly there were two concert trailers before Arco, one for Billie Eilish, one for BTS. (So BTS fans, check your cinemas there shows being shown) I should really listen to them, I’ve only really heard the few Fortnite songs
Both films had The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer which made me squee. I’m so excite for it.
The Sheep Detective is one of those trailers that’s instantly made me wanna see it. Hugh Jackman is a shepherd who reads to his sheep. When they find him dead they take it on themselves to solve the mystery. I’m so so sold on this. It looks so fun.
Also there was Moana and Michael (Seen before), a new Minions trailer (I wanna see it) and Toy Story 5 which looks like it might be fun.

Onto film thoughts, first for Arco, then Super Mario Galaxy.

( Read more... )

I felt too tired to do anything else in town so just came back home (plus it was ten minutes till the next train). Tonight I’m gonna bundle up, then maybe watch or listen to something (after magic arena for the week).

Next cinema trip should be Exit 8!

The last few days my focus has again been off, mostly because of the damn sawing/drilling outside starting up again. (When will it end?) along with post gig tiredness,

Last night I did end up watching Ready Or Not cause of the sequel being out. What amused me though was I got the blu ray cause it wasn’t available anywhere (and discounted) but then last night I found it was both on tv (on film 4) as well as on Disney+. Ah well.

I did enjoy it though, it was mostly a fun time with incompetent rich people getting outsmarted and dying. I. Hopefully I can see the new one soon, though I’m not sure when (causa Megacon then 5sos). I did consider seeing it today as my usual two film thing but decided not to.

Today I went to see Project Hail Mary. I was gonna go in the morning to avoid more sawing, but I woke later than expected (15 minutes before I’d have had to leave) and just didn’t feel up to going right away. I was thinking of just going another morning, but did decide to see it on the second showing (part to get out cause I got riled up by mum being bitchy).

Trailers were mostly films I’d already decided I’m seeing: The Odyssey, The Mandalorian And Grogu, Super Mario Galaxy, plus a Supergirl one which I’d not seen. There was also a Hunger Games trailer and, bar going ‘is that him from the Long Walk?’ I’m eh about it. I’ve not seen the films and I dunno how they’ve gone on so long. But then again maybe if I saw them I’d see why? I dunno.

Anyway!

Before I go into thoughts, beware these will be slightly spoilery, especially since this is a new film (but I’m trying to keep it just with stuff seen in trailers). But! BeforeI get to thoughts I’ll simply say this: if you’re thinking of going to see this, go see it. I know it’s long (over 2 and a half hours) but it is so worth it.

Honestly it’s one of those films that’ll be the top ones of the year (joining Iron Lung, Cold Storage and Kangaroo).

But onto thoughts, which are under this.

( Read more... )

Gonna snug now, then tomorrow it’s the seapeekay randomathon tomorrow. I might do a music post but we’ll see if my brain can fic some too.

Update post time.

Tuesday night was the last good ship murder which ended up being… depressing.

Wednesday we went down to Home Bargains to get some stuff that didn’t come with the food shop. I went in Game beforehand and got a Xenk figure, which was finally discounted! (And some Pokémon cards) it’s funny I find him after I switched in the Dungeons Of Dragons blu ray (but haven’t watched yet). In Home Bargains, ironically, was something I’d hoped to get from Game, some lil buildable ghost Pokémon which are very cute.

Thursday was an odd day. The replacement xbox memory card came and it works! I was worried that it was the slot that was the issue so I’m glad it wasn’t. (So now it’s just a matter of reinstalling things.) I built a Lego set I got I’d got with the creel house (a flying moon car which is pretty cool!) and watched two more traitors Ireland eps (it’s so chaotic).

Then I just went… blank. I couldn’t settle on doing anything. For about three hours I just switched between things and sat there, not wanting to do or watch anything, I went… blank. It’s been a long time since I’ve been like that and it was really annoying.

Eventually I did settle on watching a thing, an episode of Found Footage the series (pretty good for a short thing) but then just went to bed.

This morning I was still feeling a bit bleh so didn’t even wanna try focussing on uni stuff. It did fade after a few hours lying in bed.

After noms I went out to town, glad that it wasn’t raining.

I did some wandering around before the cinema. I managed to get a Pokémon boxset and Weapons blu ray from Asda, plus they had the Lego Christmas thing I’d seen in game and missed out on. Then I went in primark and got Dustin’s hellfire tee, along with a reduced Squawk sweater. And smiths had the Game Changers book so I grabbed that too. (I also got a drink from there and it was awful)

(And speaking of Pokémon, Fire Red and Leaf Green are coming to switch next week though I’m baffled that they announced it now and not during the Pokémon presents thing then)

Then I went to the cinema to see Cold Storage and Send Help.

Trailers first as always.

Obsession: Same Trailer as before
They Will Kill You: First time seeing this trailer and I’m very sold on it! It’s about a woman starting a job in a building, only it turns out it’s a pretence and the building is a trap to sacrifice her (only she can kick ass)
Ready Or Not 2: First time seeing this too. I’ve not seen the first one, though it was mentioned on horror’s greatest but this made me wanna watch it. This looks fun and Elijah Wood and Sarah Michelle Gellar!
How To Make A Killing: This one looks fun too, I’d seen something about it when I was having waffle fries and after seeing the trailer I do wanna see it
The Bride: a new trailer (I think, it feels different than the last one) and it does look pretty good.
Scream: more a spot than a proper trailer. I’m of two minds about it.
Passenger: not heard of this and I am intrigued, it gave me a similar energy to a fake documentary q ep.

So ye a lot of films I’m now more curious about/wanna try and see.

Thoughts on films ahoy.

Since today was the pass renewal date (and I didn’t do this for the last one) he’s the last two months of the cinema pass.

Month 6: December 20th - January 20th
13: Anaconda
17: The Boy And The Heron, Labyrinth

This was a quiet month, the quietest so far. Mostly that’s cause of the holidays but also cause of the weather and ice. But that does make the order of favs feel easy: Labyrinth, Anaconda, The Boy And The Heron.

Month 7: January 20th - February 20th
23: Return To Silent Hill
30: Another World (+ q and a), Iron Lung
14: Looney Tunes The Day The Earth Blew Up, Kangaroo

This month was more like normal. I can’t really separate my favs, which are Iron Lung and Kangaroo which couldn’t be more different. Then I’d say it’s Another Workd, Return To Silent Hill and then Looney Tunes.

***

This weekend is gonna be mostly resting, maybe watching Dungeons And Dragons (or The Beauty, or Heated Rivalry) and the Winter Olympics closing ceremony. (And maybe finally do the next Feb stuff I love post cause I’ve been so tuned out lately but we’ll see.)

Hopefully too I’ll start the Voyager game and fic but…

So this is the inevitable film post which is gonna cover 4 films, though the first two more briefly.

The films are: Until Dawn, The Rift, Another World, Iron Lung. First two under this cut, second two a little later

Yesterday the weather was fine, not bad like I feared (causa the weather app) so I went to town.

Before heading out mail came which was something mum ordered but also the micro sd for the switch 2 huzzah I can game more and take screenshots again! Also there was the new Funko of Will which was meant to come Wednesday so that was a surprise. He looks so cool using his powers. (And in town I wandered round and got the new Vecna)

So onto the films! (Most of this written last night at the station)

( Read more... )

Today’s been a low energy day since I came back after midnight, but I did catchup on some stuff (Would I Lie To You, Death In Paradise, QI XL) but the main thing for today was the film I won from sfx arrived! I had to chase it up earlier in the week but it’s here.

It’s so funny that my second 4K film (after Trick R Treat) is this completely random film I know nothing about. I’m curious though and will likely watch in a few days. It is a pretty cool cover though



Though I’m gonna watch Ranboo’s watch of Marble Hornets and maybe poke my brain (and watch Horror’s Greatest maybe)

An attempt at returning to posting cause I failed the last days doing the things I wanted.

First off the Animal Crossing update is live and I managed to find my game to go on it. It’s been so long I’ve honestly forgotten some of the stuff (I need to look up gyroid fragments cause I’ve honestly forgot what they were) but it has been good going back on it. I’m glad there’s new Splatoon and Zelda items and I’ve been slowly ordering the latter, I now have majora’s mask on which was always my go to think to wear. And I’m so glad for the storage increase so I can clear stuff up. I might redo some parts of my island (it’s currently a mass of flowers) but I’m not sure what I’ll do yet.

As for the new stuff I like the hotel and the tourists wandering around the island is a cute idea. I’m just worried that it won’t be enough to keep long interest (I think there’s only 8 rooms in the hotel to design plus a vip). Maybe there’s other secret features and a long list of items to get from there but…

Thursday night had a Resident Evil showcase which felt too short and kinda pointless. Two of the big things, a Resident Evil concert and amiibo weee met with ‘more info on those soon’. They didn’t even confirm what the amiibo would be (I’m assuming Leon and Grace but..). I am tempted to get game on switch 2 cause if that though once there’s confirmation.

Friday announced the new Lego set finally, the final battle with ganon from ocarina if time. It’s a smart move and looks nice (especially Ganondorf) but I wish there was some of the castle.

In an attempt to distract myself I built the Lego set I got from the sale before new year, which came Tuesday, it was the animal crossing dodo airlines set. It’s like most of the AC sets, annoyingly simple, but the plane is really nice. I just wish it had both of the dodos instead of just the pilot.

Yesterday was a town trip to the cinema. The stuff I’d hoped to do in town was mostly a failure, Tesco didn’t have stuff I was going to get, the Christmas Lego in game I saw in game Tuesday was already gone, smiths still didn’t have stranger things stickers. (Have they really underestimated demand or is distribution terrible?)

On the plus side Smyths did get the Dustin Funko in so I was able to get him (my face when I saw he’d come back in stock the other day I was so glad) and I did get my click and collect from Primark (a tee and jacket) so that was a plus.

(And on the ither plus side there was a cute lil squirrel at the bank by the station)

At the cinema there was a poster for Cold Storage whcih made me squee a bit. I’m so seeing that on release day. Plus the cinema is getting Iron Lung! I hope they add extra times (same for Return To Silent Hill this week) but hopefully I can see it.

Trailers were a few I’d not seen before.
Hoppers: a new trailer showing more of what it’s about, so I’m a bit more curious
Goat: felt too short to form an opinion
Stitch Head: looks really cute, made me laugh
Kangaroo: made me squee cause kangaroo
Looney Tunes The Day The Earth Blew Up: !!! Looney Tunes on the big screen and out the same day I’m gonna be seeing cold storage?? Please have showings that don’t clash.

Thoughts on films (The Boy And The Heron and Labyrinth under the cut)

( Read more... )

After the cinema I went one stop extra on the train to go to the outlet cause I had a birthday code that needed using at the Lindt store (I had till today to use it which was annoying) the. I just came home and flopped.

I did manage to watch the first ep of Seven Dials before tiredness and headache set in. It was really good though it is strange seeing an Agatha Christie adaption after I’ve read the book (with the others I read last year most were Poirot’s that I’d seen the eps of) so it was strange to hear names and go ‘ah! Them!’ There has been a few changes so I am curious what else it’ll do. But so far it seems reallly good.

Also yeaterday the gingerbread Lego AT-AT came, which had been meant to be a Christmas present. I probably would’ve left it a few days but mums friend is coming tomorrow and as it was a joint thing with her and mum I figured I should do it today. It looks nice and it is different. I feel because of how fast it sold out (and stayed that way) that there’ll do another gingerbread Lego thing this year but what I dunno.

This week there’s mums annoying friend coming tomorrow then Friday is Return To Silent Hill (but only if they add a better time I don’t wanna miss the traitors finale) and then I wanna finally watch Seeds Of Doom in the weekend. But we’ll see.
