So I decided to go see Thor: Ragnarok today.
It's not a terrible film, but it's a strange film, writing and tone wise.
( Thor the third )

I watched Defenders (between all the varous other things I have going on, urgh) and URGH. Dang it.
Leaving it there is mean, even with it being what it was. (Vague weasel is vague :p)
It was good....I liked the way they built the team better than how cinematic did with the Avengers - and they finally did some of the things I had been expecting for a while.
And....I need a Matt icon. I will never not love Daredevil (but Charlie is totally my favourite Daredevil.)

So - the last three days of work have been...interesting? (We had a theft first day of exhibition which is just typical (nothing old, thankfully, one of the replicas & of the type people went for last time *sighs*) It has been busy and today was the day of the misbehaving teenage boys.

Geeky stuff wise - The DC stuff coming out of comic con? WOW. I had hope already for WW, but the trailer bodes well and JL looks like it will be fun.
Marvel.....meh. I want to see Black Panther, I will go see the next GotG and Avengers (depending on release times....Thor 3 might be DVD) - I was already pretty much done with Spiderman, Doctor Strange once we had Benedict announced.
Captain Marvel....urgh. I have ranted soooo much about marvel and how much they suck with the girls. (We never got Janet *cries*). And Brie is....too young? Like, we have no older ladies in main roles, and Carol is meant to be over 30, just on basic 'she's a captain' ness. *sighs*.
Though Luke Cage also looks good - but Netflix wise only Iron Fist was made me hesitate so far.
Annnnnd watched Robot Wars (I remember the original run from when I was wee) - not too bad. Not as much destruction as some, but promising.
-
Debating between Star Trek tomorrow, or next weekend....Might well be next weekend because tomorrow is my only day off until Sat and I have other stuff to doooo.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes - I had a good day, went to see Captain America: Civil War and had pizza. Then crashed with the cats for a while.
( Brief thoughts on Civil War behind here )
And some Lola pictures:
(She likes smelly human areas - she is one of those cats)

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a nice day (booked the day off, had a good lay in then went out for lunch).
After much consideration, I went to see Age of Ultron again (hauled da along this time) - it was better on a second viewing. (I had enough cinema points to get in free, as a bonus ;))
The drive home was mostly Da bemoaning the lack of new stuff (we had trailers for star wars, fantastic four, jurassic world and mad max....oh and bond) - people are too scared of change in the entertainment industry generally it would seem.
I really need to go back and spelling edit my initial review. But short post second viewing thoughts ( Age of Ultron spoilers - more positive this time )
I am probably going to write an epic for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
het_bigbang though (Hawkeye focus, bridging the films and filling in backstory). I know at least two of you are prob doing Het Big Bang as well ;)
Work tomo - I get to make clay models with kids (providing any kids turn up....) - and sunday, then monday off (maybe tatton park for tudors on tour....I want to but, crazy bank holiday and working four days in a row after....)

Nearly May
Apr. 28th, 2015 08:47 pmI seriously need some new icons - I have not changed/added new ones in....over a year? (I need a Clint icon, and a Melinda - also more trek and leverage and such...any recommendations welcome :))
The cold is starting to get better? Yay? (Have managed to not take any time off work, despite temptation) - I got snotty come saturday sadly, and my voice is still all evil and broken *sighs*
Fun PDR were boss said that sometimes she wasn't sure I like interacting with visitors (there are times I do not, but this is typically because the visitors are unpleasant - but people always struggle reading me? I'm not really neurotypical and people do seem to struggle with my tone of voice/facial expression sometimes, so yeah :/).
After poking Age of Ultron seems to be another 'they are going with random bits of Ultimates verse' - so some of my 'but what' stem from me never really being interested in Ultimates. Possibly? IDK - I am intending to get my hands on the rest of Fraction's Hawkeye, because it's awesome.
Leaning towards a re-view friday and taking parentals - mother queried whether it would be better in 3D (despite neither of us liking 3D) and not sure it would add anything? Maybe to the battle sequences? Tis weird though, as looking at screenings, that are more 2D than 3D - is 3D dying off again?
Weather is being weird here - driving in hail storms is fun. (Bonus we don't get massive hail stones, so it's not as much a hazard as in other places).

Avngers Age of Ultron
Apr. 26th, 2015 02:09 pmOk so - saw Age of Ultron (in 2D because I do not 3D that way leads migraine and being unable to track the first 30 mins....)
Everything behind a cut - to save you all from spoilers and length - this my reaction as straight after as poss - and before reading anyone else's.
( SPOILERS BEHIND HERE FOR AGE OF ULTRON - and probably unpopular opinions? Oh and long... )

Been quiet for a little while - currently have the evil throat not cold of doom (it's not quite a head cold - so it's annoying, because I still want to eat and do stuff, but throat is sore and I sound all raspy :/)
I do not get to see Age of Ultron until sunday morning (working wed-sat - so sadly feel just wrong) - so am going to be avoiding the internet, so as not to get spoiled (beyond 'it was good')
Watched the latest episode of Criminal Minds - heh - MGG's episodes are always promoted as being scary and thrilling, and yeah nope. They are always the worst of the 'this would totally happen, not' episodes and I never find them scary. Given her goes for atmospheric and all, it should be, but it just falls flat for me. *shrugs*
It at least had some basis in something (which I have read about, and which is disturbing - am sad they didn't do a proper episode dealing with it :/)
At some point I will update my reading challenge post - given that I am at 34/100 books read - and am fairly sure have managed a good few of the list.
Am however failing at word count for camp nano *glares at word doc*

Iron Man 3
Apr. 26th, 2013 01:40 pmSaw it last night - because today is my day off, so I couldn't not (originally planned to borrow ma's car and go alone - but parents decided they wanted to see it too - so late night showing).
The cinema is nowhere near as busy as it used to be. Opening day and their were a good lot of empty seats. Tis weird.
And thoughts - behind the cut - because spoilers
( Iron Man 3 spoilers peeps )
Now - I want some central girl super hero films now. Or non-white super hero focused films.
We have - Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Wolverine and Magneto - can we have some Mystique, Black Panther, Black Widow stuffs now? Seriously. There needs to be some girl superhero focused films that are in the league of Iron Man and Captain America.

i've seen the sun
Jul. 2nd, 2008 11:45 pmkinda *g*
after two weeks spent almost completely in the house I braved the outdoors and went into Blackpool to go to the cinema with a friend. We went to see 'The Incredible Hulk' - I am a happy nerd *nods*.
( you wouldn't like me....when I'm hungry - spoilers ahead ;) )
