I'm in between screenings right now. Earlier today I went to an IMAX screening of Peter Berg's Deepwater Horizon about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster. Later tonight I have a screening of Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. I got nothing to do before then, and it's useless to go to the office at such an awkward hour, so ( Read more... )

Okay, this is bullshit. Half of the electricity at my house is out (because the house is partitioned and I can't watch The Strain, Atlanta, pre-air Westworld episodes or do anything because the room with the modem is out while the room where I'm in with my Macbook and my TV is in, and this is effed up ( Read more... )

Before the Pete's Dragon* screening earlier, I went to Bakerzin's for a meal (it was a weird meal, I couldn't call it lunch because it was too late in the afternoon, and I couldn't call it dinner because it was too early to be called 'evening') and perusing Bakerzin's perpetually changing menu, I found this item which was odd and striking in its ( Read more... )

With Ron Howard releasing Inferno next month, we at the magazine are busy writing a lot of articles about the movie. My colleague went to Singapore in June to a Sony event and interviewed Howard and Tom Hanks about the movie and he's now busy writing the feature for the magazine. This is his first time writing anything Dan Brown-related and he didn ( Read more... )

This must be some kind of record for me going away from Livejournal, I don't know, but ONE MONTH? Yeah, that was bad. I was bad. Then again, my life has been kind of hectic last month ( Read more... )

The week was busy.

MONDAY was Game of Thrones S6 premiere at 7 AM at Cinemaxx. There was marathon of all new episodes from the current season of GoT, Silicon Valley and Veep so the event ran for 2 hours long, plus half an hour for trivia games. I won a Targaryen pillow for answering the question, "Name the actors who play Daario Naharis." Then it ( Read more... )

Three times in the past 2 weeks I've been getting pointless invitations to Captain America: Civil War events... all of which has nothing to do with the actual movie. Disney's marketing and public relations people in Indonesia are coming up with the most inane and useless gimmicks to promote the movie which, IMHO, absolutely does not need this kind ( Read more... )

Today the trailer for The Girl on the Train movie adaptation came out. I read the book and I quite enjoyed it, even though it was somewhat predictable to me when I read it, so I'm looking forward to the movie. Yesterday the trailer was online for, like, a blink before it got taken down. But now it's here and, naturally, I have to talk about it ( Read more... )

Today I made up my mind to watch Eye in the Sky, the movie about drone warfare directed by Gavin Hood. I was going to put it off until the last possible minute but I had some free time earlier and I thought, "Why not?" And the movie made me emotional in one big way. That is because this was one of Alan Rickman's last movies ( Read more... )

You know, I love Netflix and all, but it's annoying that I have to watch stuff on my laptop. I don't have a TV with wireless streaming capabilities. I think I need to buy a bigger TV. I also need to buy a Blu-ray player, probably. (Or maybe not ( Read more... )
