Football, Prometheus, my new iPad and icon awards (they're totally unrelated)

+ For the first time ever, I have a vague interest in Euro 2012, for the simple reason that for every W, D or L prediction that I get right, I get 50p towards train travel. So far, I'm at a staggering 25% correct, so a whole £1.00!

+ I was going to post about Prometheus last week, but

Thank you. I was wondering if it was just me that didn't enjoy it because my flatmates LOVED it and I just...

I can't tell you exactly what I wanted from this movie, but that wasn't it. Maybe I was too excited, maybe I thought it would be something different from the previews... I don't know.

I was just 'huh?' afterwards. So lame, and so many things that could have been answered but weren't. I went based on having seen trailers and thinking it sounded fascinating, but it was just a real letdown.

Also, running around after having your stomach cut open and stapled up? With just the occasional grasp of her stomach?!

It just felt kind of odd and unfulfilling and... flat. I have such a huge amount of affection for the first movies. I think maybe my issue is that they went in more of an odd, Alien4 direction than the pure scifi Alien or Aliens.

Ah, it's a shame it was disappointing when you liked the Alien movies. I actually thought it'd be much more interesting in a Sci-Fi sense than it was - I wanted to know more about the Engineers, and they just seemed to shut down every thread that could have got interesting regarding them!

Aww, I knew you'd been in hospital, but I didn't realise it was that bad! Poor you! Now if only you healed as fast as in the movies - you'd be running marathons by now! *gentle hugs*

I can't wait for my pretty new leather cover to arrive so I can carry my baby around!
