FrightFest

Just finished Battle For Empire by Tom Pocock, which describes the skirmishes outside of Europe during the seven years war. I've now moved on to The Panda's Thumb by Stephen Jay Gould, because I've never read it before, and I probably should have. Next in the pile is the first book in the Game of Th...

Awesome. I'm on there as: xPeloquinx. I'll start adding people, although I don't have internets at my new flat for another week or so. I do have Left 4 Dead though.

I'd also like to point out that I registered my forum name way before the game came out

Going to give this one a miss I think. I can't justify £50 when I know I'd be snoozing in my seat by 2am. Someone else could make far better use of my ticket.

Do we have a list of FF board member gamertags anywhere?

Just finished Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Has anyone read Green or Blue Mars and know if they're worth bothering with? I quite enjoyed this one until the last 50 pages or so. I was hoping the subsequent books don't continue as this one ended.

I also saw District 9 this weekend. Loved the first part of it, wasn't feeling the last third quite so much, but still really enjoyed. Seems like the first major release I've seen in a while where the trailer didn't give away every damn thing that happens in the movie, which is a major bonus.

Picked up some CD's in during a between film break over the weekend: Municipal Waste - Massive Aggresive Amorphis - Skyforger How are these two? I've not got round to picking them up yet. I thought the last two Amorphis albums were very similar, which put me off getting this new one. You going to s...

Blasphemy!

Wolves In The Throne Room - Best Black Metal band since Emperor. :mrgreen: Most certainly not ;) That honour goes to Watain. WITTR aren't even the best black metal band to come out of the US :) Today has been: Forgotten Tomb - Songs To Leave Impeity - Terroreign Arckanum - pppppppp Destroyer 666 - ...

Re-watched the Wicker Man (the original, of course) because I love it so very, very much. Amongst the most quotable films ever? The same could be said for the criminal remake, to be fair - although you'd get differing responses. I've not seen the re-make, but thanks to the couple next to me in the ...

More food-related yukkiness in Dumplings : what's the secret rejuvenating ingredient in Aunt Mei's dumplings? Here's a hint: it's not suet like normal people use. And despite the film being directed by Fruit Chan, it isn't fruit either. Having now found out the secret ingredient, I wish I hadn't. I...

the bit in frankenfish when a lesbian pass is made is my fave moment in horror cinema..just so uncalled for and completely left-field and very very funny. Hahaha, I completely agree. A total WTF moment that blindsides you, and then runs off never to be seen again before you realise quite what happe...

Very few films are better than Frankenfish.

Watched The Hangover. A very amusing film of chain of events. With a very strange array of friends with even stranger encounters. Yup, this one far exceeded my expectations. Very funny film. Lots of incredibly well delivered one liners. I was expecting more Heather Graham though, she must be in it ...

I have to agree with the other reviews of Transformers 2. I enjoyed the first one, as they spent the time to give the robots some personality, there was a point to the humans being there, and most of the comedy worked. This was 2 1/2 hours of giant robots spinning through the air in close up. A lot ...
