  1. Which way? instagr.am/p/Lc8dkFyXol/
  2. Malaysian Airlines, Ladyluck Mobile Casino, Free Horoscopes, Waitrose Wine - those personally tailored Facebook ads are really working today
  3. @BigJimLD Valid points about some plot holes, certainly - but all the arguing about proportional size of the space jockey... fuckin' nerds.
  4. @huxathon Basically all the tension comes from 'will he be able to try a little harder... yes, yes he can... phew.'
  5. @caspar_v Mind you, I regard Superman as a pretty rubbish superhero. What can he do? EVERYTHING! What's his weakness? ONE THING! Pah. ;-)
  6. @caspar_v It just felt like a poor imitation to me, and very charmless. Pretty sure the Snyder version is going to go the same way.
  7. @caspar_v Hmmm. Not sure I agree. Routh was *fine* but unremarkable, Spacey was way too hammy and Bosworth was disasterous.
  8. @caspar_v @huxathon So we have trumped you??? UK! UK! Sorry, very undignified. Loads of plots holes but a great piece of companion sci-fi.
  9. @caspar_v Superman Returns is a lovingly made tribute that looks pitch perfect, and is horribly miscast and unforgivably boring.
  10. @huxathon Very much so. Picked much of it apart over night but it still stands up in my head. Kinda want to see it again. We shall discuss.
  11. I knew I spotted @bigjimld in the #prometheus credits instagr.am/p/LbqbeFyXsa/
  12. Anyway. Bedtime. I have a dozen #docfest documentaries to watch tomorrow. Sometimes I really love my job.
  13. One thing I really liked about #prometheus was that it reduced Ripley to one character in a larger story. It's no longer her tale.
  14. @topfife @Erica_Jane_MP I dreamed the entirety of Cosmopolis the other day. If my subconscious predictions are right, it's going to be ace.
  15. Just read the #prometheus thread on @empiremagazine - wish I hadn't. Reminds me why I stopped earnest online discussions about movies...
  16. @adamhopelies Well, the festival would fall apart without me :-) Heh. Definitely curious to see what you make of it...
  17. @adamhopelies If you need a viewing partner to balance your expectation you know where I am :-)
  18. @adamhopelies Or maybe I'm just a bit old for it now. I'm no longer the target audience so perhaps that's expected...
  19. @adamhopelies I'm just not sure there's much left to say. Kid + radioactive spider + awkwardness + supervillain = seen it before.
