I spent my Saturday at the cinema (surprise, surprise!) for my last Tarantino screening.

I had yet another ticket for The Hateful Eight, and that marks the end of my Tarantino marathon on the big screen! I have now watched every single one of his films at the cinema. Phew, what to do next?... oh right, I have that Japan trip thing to plan ( Read more... )

I never posted about the fact that Michael Fassbender was in Oslo a while back (might still be?) filming The Snowman. Our news outlets were awkwardly stalking the production, see, we don't really get celebrity visits (not to mention big film productions) all that often. We're starved on this kind of stuff. The news were happily publishing people's ( Read more... )

I had planned to go see Pulp Fiction last Friday, but gave it a miss in order to charge my batteries for the weekend. It was probably for the better.

Originally part of a double feature with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror - the double feature was released as Grindhouse - this was a film meant to be enjoyed in ( Read more... )

It's awards season, and for the first time I'm checking out a video game awards show. Even though this happened back in December, I wanted to see what it was like. The Game Awards. Come on bring it. Tell me what the best games of 2015 were! ..... nope. The show is SO FUCKING TERRIBLE. Ashfjksahfskajfhjkas. It makes me embarrassed to enjoy video ( Read more... )

I completely failed to update my LJ post with books read and films seen for 2015, so I'm doing it a little differently this year. By clever use of tags and maybe monthly book summaries? We'll see how it goes ( Read more... )

I won't make this into a complete review, I want to digest the film, and go see it again before I delve deeper into it, but wow, what a ride ( Read more... )
