Oh my God I don’t like this… I don’t like this… I don’t like this one bit! =P Arrrrrrrrgh… I don’t like this!!! I do however still find it very much worth watching, specially with the nice concept robot and everything… but I DO NOT LIKE THIS! xP
A short film about a helper robot who doesn’t prove as helpful as the advertisement claims. Written and directed by Ruairi Robinson.
Tonight I watched the very last episode of the TV series Medium, without actually 
knowing that the series has been cancelled and this actually is the series finale. And after finally finding it out… well, I’m not too happy.
Medium was one of my favourite sci-fi series for a long while, and I always felt that felt that it was such a shame, that the series never received the attention and credit it deserved. Perhaps the main reason is that Medium was not out of the box enough for serious sci-fi fans, and not soap-opera enough for the mainstream, resulting in the series being completely underrated.
So the show finally got cancelled which in my opinion was too early and yet not completely unexpected. But after 7 seasons, I must say I was expecting quite a bit more for a finale. I mean I actually liked the plot for the finale quite a lot, and I enjoyed watching it. But I was constantly expecting Allison to wake up from the first layer of the dream, realizing that Joe hadn’t actually gone to the trip yet. And I most certainly did not want this as finale. The series ending with the death of a main character, and with bunch of flash forwards? And they didn’t even make it a 2 hour episode!!
So yes, altogether I’m rather disappointed. Regardless of what genre the series could or could not be categorized under, I always enjoyed it and I think there was still quite a bit more to tell. So I guess now I can only hope that someone with pick up the story line and continue it as comic books, the way Joss Whedon did with Angel comics for instance. I get the feeling Medium could actually make quite an interesting set of comic books…. hmmmmmm…. I guess we’ll see……
Oh nooooooo! My favourite sea creature has just passed away! =(( I wanted to adopt him! Awwwwwwhhhh…. too bad!
“Management and staff at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre were devastated to discover that oracle octopus Paul, who achieved global renown during the recent World Cup, had passed away overnight. “Paul amazed the world by correctly predicting the winners of all Germany’s World Cup clashes, and then of the final,” said Sea Life Centre Manager Stefan Porwoll.”

OH MY GOD! Really? Seriously? Could that possibly happen? That would be just 
beautiful! =D
Since late last night I’ve been reading here and there around the web about how David Tennant has been approached for a role in the upcoming 2 part Hobbit movies! Apparently so far this is just an offer and no one knows for sure if it’s actually going to happen, but if it does… my oh my! Awesomeness to the max! =D
For anyone who may not be familiar with David Tennant, he is the actor playing the role of the 10th Doctor, in the British sci-fi series Doctor Who. I’m a pretty big fan of Doctor Who in general, and well, the 10th Doctor is most certainly my favourite incarnation of The Doctor so far. 😉 Davit Tennant is an amazing actor, and if he goes on to play a role in The Hobbit, that alone will be a reason for me to see the movie on the opening day.
Another great actor who has been offered a role is Martin Freeman, who recently played the role of John Watson in the British TV series “Sherlock”. Apparently he will be playing the role of Bilbo Baggins.
When I heard that the “The Hobbit” is going into production phase soon, I was very excited. I’ve always said that the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies are an extra simplified version of the books, and that they miss a ton of important facts and side stories and a whole lot of depth in comparison to the books. However, that’s only natural. There’s just no way to put a Tolkien book into a movie exactly as it is, due to the incredible amount of details in his books. With all of that in mind, I believe that the LOTR movies where quite fantastic from many different aspects [well, Duh! ;)], and I’m now very much looking forwards to seeing “The Hobbit”.
You can read more about the possible cast of “The Hobbit” here.
I wonder why I’m not hearing more noise about 
this movie. Has anyone seen it yet? I’m beginning to worry that this movie may just not be receiving the attention it bloody well deserves!
A few days ago we went to see the first part of the Legend of the Guardians. Well, to be more precise I took my mom to see it, due to her affection for owls. =D [For anyone who may not know, the relationship between my mom and owls is something like the one between me and the colour blue! 😉 ]. And of course being a real fantasy genre enthusiast, I totally had to see it too. [In 3D, obviously! =P]
Turns out, this is one of the cutest movies I’ve ever seen! Owls are beautiful animals, and I’m glad someone finally did something right with that! The characters of the movie are positively adorable! <3 <3 There’s tons of beautiful scenery, and the plot is quite a nice one too, if not terribly sophisticated. I’m definitely a fan, and will certainly go to see the next parts when they’re made. =)
Late last night I watched the latest episode of Stargate Universe, as I didn’t want to wait any longer to find out about the “object” that was coming towards them. I figured things may finally get more interesting.
At the end of the episode I was cursing myself for not having spent that time to watch something that I would have actually enjoyed instead, specially since I have very little time these days…. Don’t get me wrong, the whole “other ship with aliens on board” thing was pretty interesting, but I’m beginning to feel that the series’ main characters are SOOO annoying, that they’re over-shadowing any interesting events in the plot. I’m sorry to say, but not a single one of them seem to be capable of doing anything other than being horribly annoying all the time. As much as it pains me to say, SGU has turned into a soap opera featuring a large group of complete idiots!
Their military leader is a brainless arrogant dictator. Their supposed “brains” guy is an idiotic self centered arrogant b*****d. The entire series is the struggle of these 2, and the rest of the characters are so interesting and important that they could as well cease to exist.
Stargate used to be about a group of people each of whom where important in their own way. Each evolving to something better during the series, while dealing with interesting SCI-FI challenges [not soap opera ones!]. I understand that SGU is supposed to be “different”, but so far this difference has been nothing but a severe failure. And by the way, I’m not the only one to say that. Every serious sci-fi fan that I’ve talked to so far, says the same thing.
If things keep going this way, I will quite possibly stop watching SGU altogether. =(
I guess for anyone who’s into both robots and J.J. Abrams, this is definitely big news.
And it’s not all that new, so I don’t even know how I didn’t know about it already! =P A good friend of mine just sent me the link to an article, about J.J. Abrams latest movie project, called “Boilerplate”.
Supposedly, this movie is based on a graphic novel which is the story of world’s first robot, and his adventures along side some interesting characters and mixing with certain historical events. Here’s the article, check it out!
So now I’m very much looking forwards to seeing the movie. =) I think it will probably turn out to be pretty darn fantastic! Can’t wait… can’t wait…. =D
Yes, I HAVE seen Inception! =D I just didn’t want to write about it because given the sophisticated plot of this movie, it’s so easy to cause spoilers, and it would be an unforgivable crime to do that to such incredibly brilliant scenario.
A couple of weeks ago [thanks to xo’s persistence! 😉 ] we went to see Inception, and the only thing I’m going to tell you about it is that it’s one of the most ingenious, unique movies that I have ever seen. I have every intention of getting me the Blu-ray once it’s out, as this movie is worth watching numerous times.
I’d also like to mention that if you enjoyed the Matrix trilogy, chances are you’ll enjoy inception too. In a way, I see Inception as Matrix inverse. 😉
Oh, and here’s the proof I did go to see it… =))
Today a friend said to me “you should really see the Robin Hood movie, it’s right up your![robin_hood_2010_poster[1]](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Tl7xVSHEwJs/TAbhSyZOV2I/AAAAAAAAAWs/4XmkzDc0c54/robin_hood_2010_poster%5B1%5D_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800 "robin_hood_2010_poster[1]")
alley!”. And I said, “oh it totally is, and I’ve already seen it!”. And he said “but… but… but… but… but there’s nothing about it on your bloooooooooggggg!!!!”. Well, you can imagine the utter SHAME I felt at that moment! =P Oh my GOD, how did I manage to not write anything about my all time favourite version of Robin Hood?? So let me fix that now…
Yes, a couple of weeks a go we went to see Robin Hood. And I’m glad that despite a few discouraging comments that I heard / read about the movie here and there, I did go to see it. I have to say I don’t understand what’s not to like! In fact I enjoyed watching the movie IMMENSELY! =) The small but important modifications made to the plot felt like they were exactly what Robin Hood always needed to turn into a most interesting story. Since I know many of you haven’t seen it yet, I’m not going to say much more… but I just have to say that everything about this movie was very impressive. The cast were the best possible, and the the whole mood and feel of the movie really worked for me. So don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise…. and go see the movie for yourself. =)
