    This post has nothing to do with Morrissey. Does my last update date back to the summer? Oh my. You can probably guess that it’s been some busy times, first with the big PechaKucha Global Night we did back in September, and then this past week’s design festivities, which saw us do 3 PechaKucha events…

    I’d sort of been avoiding this movie because I hadn’t heard great things about it, but found myself in a mood for something like it a couple of weeks ago, and you know what, I had a pretty good time watching it. I’m sure going in with low expectations helped, but I did like how…

    Well, everything that has been said about how good a film this is is deserved. Enjoyed the fuck out of this – although, yes, I’ll admit that I’ll watch pretty much anything with Jennifer Lawrence. Definitely not your average romcom – it’s too weird for that, and too interesting.

    I’d been wanting to watch this since it first came out, and I’ve finally gotten around to it and I’m really loving it – definitely one of my favorite shows this year. I’m about halfway through the season, and it just feels like it keeps getting better and better. Can’t recommend it enough, and I…

    Finally got around to playing the 400 Days DLC for The Walking Dead game (on iPad), and it’s definitely just as good as the rest of the game was. Really liked the fact that I was playing through all these tiny vignettes. Just makes me that much more excited to play the second season, that…

    This is better than you would think. The premise is a bit hokey, but the tension is great, especially once the “invaders” make their appearance. Ended up having a good time watching this, up to the end. Doesn’t beat The Strangers though in terms of creepiest home invasion film.

    While watching this, more than enjoying the theories that the narrators suggest about The Shining, I was just reminded of how much I love that film, and enjoyed the clips. The theories are fun though, although the fact that you are never shown the narrators kinda works and doesn’t – doesn’t in the sense that…

    I’ve basically aged with these characters, being at the same point in my life as they are when a new film in the series has come out. I’ve really liked these movies, but I have to say that this one hit a bit too close to home – the conflict within – and so I…

    It may be because I came in with pretty low expectations – considering that so many of my friends appear to not like this movie – but I ended up rather enjoying this. As big a comic geek as I am, I have never liked Superman, but I thought this was a pretty good take…

    I’m a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie, considering that I don’t have any particularly strong love for the first one (liked it, but don’t remember loving it). I really, really liked this one, thought it was a fun story, and pretty damn funny. I mean, it’s no Wall-E or Up, but…
