Mid-Week... Bits.
20 Jul 2011 20:31So, What On Tonight...? Well, I'm thinking of sneaking in a viewing of Monsters, after a session of Ultima Online training. After that... who knows? I'm glad for anything approaching "normal", and that's how things are generally going at present - but I do feel the need to address the PC issue sometime fairly soon. I've been meaning to deal with my archaic technology for some time, and I was saving all my tech-spends for The Move, so I guess I should take the plunge.
Meanwhile, it looks like Potter 7.2 is going to be a fixture for quite a while, with 2D and 3D showings for at least the next week. Captain America - The First Avenger opens in the US this weekend, and one week later over here, so maybe - just maybe - the "Pottergasm" (*shudders* - did I just invent something terrible...?) will be subsiding by then. To make way for the surge of anti-American feeling about "another movie in which America wins the war"...
So many people are going to totally miss the point with this. You can be sure of it. I, on the other hand, will take the day off to see "Cap", if I need to go out of town to catch a big-screen showing on opening day.
Concerning NEXT YEAR'S Blockbusters... I just saw the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, and... well, it looks okay, but why rerun - and retool - the whole origin story? Critics hate them, and surely you can do better than replough old ground...
Maybe material for a double-header. I can't see myself rushing to see this, somehow.
Okay, better head off to Sosaria if I want to get anything done before 9pm.
