I'm Such A Bad Geek

I'm such a bad geek.

I've only watched the first episode of Series 7, Part 2 of Doctor Who.
(but seriously, I heard that John Hurt is involved and I'm so fucking excited!)
I haven't seen any of Season 3 of Game of Thrones yet.
I haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet :(
(even though I know stuff about it)

At least I've seen Star Trek Into Darkness

I'm hoping that I get mail this week.
In particular Star Trek 1-10 Movie Boxset on Blu-Ray & 
Season 1-3 of Original Star Trek series on Blu-Ray

And also Ludo.

I'm really enjoying Inferno by Dan Brown.
But it gives me a mega dose of Wanderlust.
It's set in Florence in Italy.
I don't know much about Florence, but I still want to go.

Today my Aunt & Uncle became grandparents.
My cousin and his partner had their baby.
A beautiful girl named
Lexi Marie
I can't wait to meet her.

Emma and I have decided to do a weekly "stay awesome" missions.
This week is our first week and the mission is:
"Imagine you don't have anxiety or any self-esteem issues and that you don't give a shit what anyone thinks of you or the way you look. What would you wear/look like... what would you do... what job would you have if you could be anything ever"
 Seems rather simple.
I don't know if I'll do a public post.
Depends on how I go :)


Anyway. Until next time.

Inferno by Dan Brown out tomorrow

Tomorrow Dan Brown releases his new book, Inferno.
It's the 4th in the series featuring Robert Langdon. 
The first one being Angels and Demons, then The Da Vinci Code and then The Lost Symbol.
I love his Robert Langdon books.
I love how much research he does and all the information you get. 
It's a fictional story full of real life things, events in history etc.
This one, as the title may suggest is based around Dante's Inferno an old book about the 7 levels of hell (and other things, but I have never read it)
The Australian cover (on the left) is so much nicer than the other.
I hope mine is the left one.
I pre-ordered it ages ago.
Hopefully I get a call tomorrow saying that it's in :D

I'm hoping it will inspire me to read again.
I hope I can get it finished.

I've been reading the Judge Dredd comics.
I have them on my iPad.
I also have the Star Trek comics set between the first (new) movie and Star Trek Into Darkness
plus the prequel to Star Trek Into Darkness.


Anyway.
Off to work.
Bye-ee

Supanova

I had decided that I wasn't going to go to Supanova Expo in Perth this year.
I was adament, even when they annoucned that Karl Urban would be going again.
But I need to save for PAX.
I can't afford it.

Then I got an invite to increase my credit card limit!
Which I know I should of ignored, but didn't.

THEN
Supanova Expo announced that there was 3 Dwarves from The Hobbit going!
Jed Brophy aka Nori, Adam Brown aka Ori & Aiden Turner aka Killi
How could I not go.

But accomodation in Perth is so expensive.
:(
But Alex asked her friend Kat if we could stay with her
and she said YES!
We invited her to Supanova (another Supanova Virgin!)
So as payment for letting us stay I bought her ticket!

I'm so excited.
I've got a Dredd movie poster from work that I'm going to get Karl Urban to sign!
I will probably just buy photos of the Dwarves, to get them to sign.

I don't know if I want photos or not.
Maybe with Karl Urban again.
But I don't know if I'm too fussed about the Dwarves.
Maybe Adam Brown, because Ori is my favourite Dwarf

There are heaps of other people going
but I don't want to get too excited because then it will cost lots of money!

Star Trek Into Darkness [SPOILERS]

This post contains spoilers.
If you haven't seen Star Trek Into Darkness, don't read... unless you don't care!
Then go ahead.

"Woah is me" Movie Weekend

I've watched a couple of new movies over the last couple of days. During my "woah is me" week. I've been sick and feeling down :( so I watched movies! Lots of them. Including 3 I hadn't seen before.

SPOILERS


Detachment - Adrien Brody is a substitute teacher at a school that is on the verge of closing down due to low scores and just general bad behaviour. It starts out like a documentary. Teachers telling the "interviewer" how much they hate being teachers. It follows Adrien's story. He's subbing for a month at a school. The students are disruptive, except for one. A larger girl, who loves art and taking photos. She gets bullied and her father doesn't like that she spends all her life with art. But the new sub is different, he respects her. There is also a side story with his grandfather, who I think molested his mother, which led to her suicide and a underage prostitute who he invites into his home and takes care of. Anyway, the movie was pretty harrowing. All ending in the Art girl committing suicide by making lots of cupcakes with smilie faces and one with a sad face (which is laced with poison) and ate it at school while everyone was there! YEAH! Not a light comedy. Definitely not one for the kids! The end was sort of Blah! But Adrien Brody is in it. :)




The Impossible - Based on a true story of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami in Thailand. A family on holiday gets caught up. The mother and one of her sons gets split up from the father and the two sons. The mother is seriously injured and the son has to get her help. It was distressing to say the least. The scene when the wave comes and washes OVER the top of the hotel! It just washed everything away. And the scenes when the people are underwater, being washed away and hit with debris. Horrible.
It was an amazing movie. Based on a true story. 230,000 people died during that tsunami. Whole communities wiped off the map (and never rebuilt). This one has a happy ending, they all find themselves together. But I want to know what happened to the other people they encounter through the film, are they real, did they find their families! I can't imagine anything like that happening to my family! It just makes me so distressed!




Shadow Dancer - After a failed bombing attempted in London in 1993. Colette gets caught by MI5 and  talked into going back to his IRA Irish family and leaking information back to MI5. I got this movie because it has Aiden Gillen and Domhnall Gleeson in it. I was so worried that Gleeson died, but he didn't. The ending sucked. They got into a car and drove away. That's it! Stupid ending. But Domhnall Gleeson is gorgeous and ginger and gorgeous!



You can watch them if you want. You should. Make up your own mind. I'm looking forward to watching more new movies. Hopefully I'll get to see Star Trek Into Darkness this week! :D

Bye-ee
