Well, i went to see Terminator:Salvation last night, on the promise of Anton Yelchin (although my disappointed surfaced as i realised i only have a girl boner for his russian accent and not a whole lot more ) and Christian Bale wank bank material i figured there were worse ways to spend an evening.
I was never really a big fan of T:3 but i really loved this movie. I think that people unfamiliar with the Terminator series will enjoy it more than those die hard fanboys, but even they will enjoy the cute references and masses of action on offer here. It is MILES better than T:3 but still has a long way to go to fully put that stamp of authority on this franchise.
It feels like McG has taken a leaf out of Michael Bay's book in his post-apocalyptic view on the world after Judgement day and it settles better than the done to death look of Resident Evil and I Am Legend.
Although i will say Skynet seems to be a fairly simple place to bust into despite being oh so advanced, i mean it seems all you have to do is shut down the north gun tower, and you're cooking with gas.. Does that make much sense? Shouldn’t the mecca of machines have better security? Air patrols? ground patrols? cameras? motion detectors? A pesky little guard dog that can't be tamed with trats? Fishing wire tied around pots and pans? Anything that might alert the central hub that its been busted into.
If it’s that easy to get in, why didn't the resistance do it already? Oh, that’s right - they didn’t have the help of a human-friendly Terminator with a heart of gold. Which, fortunately, has the same blood type as John Connor. And doesn’t require immuno-suppressant drugs. But I digress.
I enjoyed the basic storyline, wasn't bored and wasn't confused, which is all you can really ask for in a thrill seekers movie like this one. The Terminator franchise was never meant to be a cerebral stimulant and that's a-ok with me.Pee Ess children of the blogsphere. Alexisonfire have just announced they'll be playing Glasgow ABC October 16th with The Ghost Of A Thousand and The Fall Of Troy. Stellar Stellar line up ! Git It Done.
OOOOPS!! My bad. I didn't even realise it was Friday and i hadn't done my weekly update. I don't even have the time now so this week all i'll be giving you is this week's honourable mentions...http://asianposes.com/, My friend's carnage birthday parties, My wicked cool new Las Vegas sign necklace, Matty's car banter, Reheated pizza, Big Brother starting, Pina Coladas at the pub with the Boyhalf, Spending an inordinate amount of time in beer gardens, Bands that sound like dying pigs, Boys in tennis shorts, Giving up the ghost, http://seekingarrangement.com/ (the elite Sugar Daddy site. obvs), "Can you imagine getting a card from him, pentagram drawn all over the inside.", Teaching the Hoedown Throwdown to everyone in Korova with the girls.Songs of the weekMilow - Ayo TechnologyPapa Roach - To Be LovedJack's Mannequin - SwimParamore - RewindDizzee Rascal - Bonkers.
"Oh there's something 'bout a man in black, Makes me want to buy a cadillac, Throw the top back, And roll down to Jackson town."You know there's really something there when the person you're with can drive you stir crazy up the wall and you still get tummy bumps at the thought of them.Love can be incredible and horrendous simultaneously.The weekend we said Happy Twenty Faux birthday to Vic, partied like tramps and checked out the new Klub ( i decided drinking straight gin with a slice of lime was a good choice). This weekend made me realise just how much i love drunken heart to hearts, even if you talk utter nonsense for the entire time you feel at the time you are saying some profound shit. I had several of these lately, and it seems i'm becoming the "go-to" girl for people's problems,, i always thought i was pretty crappy at advice but turns out i can be quite sound about it. Saturday was a buh-bye to E's party flat and i don't really remember much about it, tears and tantrums was about all i can pick out from it all. I shouldn't drink Vodka it clearly makes me crazy.The week has been a busy one too, checked out To Our Glorious Dead FINALLY and represented family, hit the pub hard with both RB and Boyhalf on different days and hung with the quadruple threat last night dancing to OMD, lusting after Andrew McCarthy and laughing so hard at Gonnella i thought i would die.(pee ess props to Gonnella to introducing me to amaretto and coke. Winner at life.)Some people think i've abandoned my pals, i think i've found the real ones.xoxo
