^ The list on the side of that page is misleading, I thought it was attendees until I saw Philip K. Dick and Terry Pratchett! Sounds good, otherwise.
-
Ok, so Deadpool has just gone to the top of my list! NSFW Trailer here.
-
World famous (there are people in Finland who know of it now!). Lasted longer than my brother's first marriage, it did!
-
I started reading my first ever Agatha Christie novel on Saturday (Sad Cyprus). With the exception of Poirot, all the men are jolly useless.

2015 Short Story Competition Entries - Voting finished
Raven replied to Lilywhite's topic in Competitions & Give Aways
Problem is, it is a one line joke. Expanding it and keeping the humour going would be difficult. -
2015 Short Story Competition Entries - Voting finished
Raven replied to Lilywhite's topic in Competitions & Give Aways
I spent most of the month or so the competition was running for trying to think up a decent story but failed (the closest I got was an idea about the 10th Ring Wraith - Kevin - who doesn't feature in Tolkien's "authorised history". I just couldn't think of a way to make it work, though . . .). -
Amazon have £10.00 off if you spend over £50.00 today (valid on all orders, not just Kindle!).

Minority Report is a pretty good film, though I'm not sure it bears much relation to the book. They are making a TV series of it now, as well.
-
The Bench of Thought looks incredibly uncomfortable!
-
Well done, Tim - that's quite a feat! They occasionally re-show the TV series on Yesterday and I caught most of them [again] a few years back. It's not dated too badly, mainly because of the period setting, but the budget constrained battle scenes are a little lack-lustre when you know there should be hundreds of troops, rather than a handful.

^ Spider-man 3 is disappointing after the first two, so don't go into it with high hopes. The Amazing Spider-man films aren't that bad; I quite liked Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone makes a good Gwen Stacey.

I'm really glad I don't work with her, Monday mornings would be unbearable.
-
It's 50°C in Baghdad at the mo. Another reason I'm glad I don't live there . . .
-
I took the day off to go for a walk, because of the nice weather. That didn't happen because I spent most of the day listening to TMS . . . Was it worth it? I'll tell you if we win one of the final two! (Good result for England, though, either way. Especially after Lords).
-
So, have you got the latest Wells and Wong yet? ETA: Just saw this!
-
The Incredible Hulk I've managed to miss this one on TV etc. so bought it as part of a HMV 5 for £30.00 Blu-ray offer. I spent most all of the film wishing Banner was being played by Mark Ruffalo, Ed Norton has zero charisma. The story was a bit thin as well.
-
I still maintain that this is every 15 year olds favourite film (and there is nothing wrong with being 15 years old at heart. Or five in my case . . . ).

What books are you looking forward to in 2015?
Raven replied to chesilbeach's topic in General Book Discussions
Looking forward to that. -
Good-ho! I didn't know if you knew or not! (Sheep Chase is also very good, btw!).
-
Out of interest, did you read A Wild Sheep Chase first?
