The Standard Model

Well we failed. I failed. The only person I failed is myself however, and I’m a pretty forgiving guy. We watched all of the season 1 episodes, which took us from Monday afternoon to today, Wednesday afternoon with a couple of sleep breaks. After spending that long at it, the prospect of another 6 films each about 2 hours made us want to kill ourselves, partly due boredom I guess but mainly I expect it was sleep deprivation. If only there was some way to turn myself into an atomic monster that never sleeps… Anyway we had already watched all the Star Trek films including TNG cast ones in the past Christmas holiday so we felt it okay to not repeat them so soon.

So after sitting down and watching TV for two days straight we did what any regular people would have done… We went to the cinema for more sitting and watching! It’s release day of Terminator: Salvation here in the UK and we were eager to see it, so we did.
I thought it was a pretty good movie. Proper reviewers can comment on the plot strength of how well the actors did, what I came out of the cinema talking about was the Arnie appearance. It was fantastic, they didn’t rub it in your face who he was, if you hadn’t seen T1 or T2 (T3 is not ever valid) you wouldn’t have known it was special, but for every cool person on the planet who has seen those films, it was awesome.

Now I must drudge through all the posts I missed in the past few days. What the hell, Left 4 Dead 2? God dammit, that’ll require its own separate post…
