Prometheus

Quotation Of The Day: P.G. Wodehouse ~ A cold hand seemed to clutch at my heart. I felt like a Gadarene swine that had come within a toucher of doing a nose-dive over the precipice.

As my loyal and faithful reader will know, i am a huge fan of the cinema.   I hardly ever actually go to the cinema, though -- my town's only cineplex is far off at the other end of town (an hour's walk) and they cater primarily to a teenage audience anyway.  Moronic movies for morons, basically. (The last time i was at a real theatre was two years ago, when i saw "The Adjustment Bureau."











 (a great film, btw)


So i watch films primarily on DVD and the tragedy is, i have so little time.  (The 21st century tragedy, really.) I haven't watched a film properly (i.e., in one sitting) in probably a couple of weeks, poor me....  The last thing i saw was "Lethal Weapon" and it took me three evenings. 

That preamble over, there are a couple of movies coming out this year that i am really looking forward to.  Part 1 of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" is due in December, and this, by one of my favourite directors, Ridley Scott, is released next month:

At The Movies




Ok, here's what Watson J. Pussycat and i have watched this week.

"Thunderball" is brilliant, "Blade Runner" is one of my all-time favourites (although i'd never seen this edition before), and "Body Of Lies" -- another Ridley Scott film, gorblimey! -- is two brilliant characters (Russell Crowe & Leonardo Di Caprio) in search of a plot.

Spriggsblog Goes To The Movies


We've just devoted the past two evenings to watching the 2-disc edition of Ridley Scott's "Kingdom Of Heaven" -- disc one has the film itself, and then disc two has all of the bonus features one might expect along with two historical documentaries.

Mr Scott is one of my favourite directors, and he does not disappoint.
