However, I almost fit nicely into the Academy demographic! So, here are the categories I’m interested in and my choices in bold…….

Then Netflix opened it’s doors to the UK and I was ecstatic! Let me provide some context.

Simples. However, when the man turns round and says that his latest soon-to-be-classic ‘Prometheus’ has little or bugger all (I’m paraphrasing here) to do with Alien I sat up and listened because this is NOT what the film press had led us fans to believe.

Without a doubt, the character I’ve been most waiting to see in action is Tom Hardy’s Bane and having seen him in this years ‘Warrior’ he is certainly looking the part, complete with missing neck!

The 2nd film was messy but still with an element of fun. Gotta wonder if the 3rd film will bring the fun too! Wasn’t too struck on the idea of a 3rd MiB film but those poor studios have to make money somehow. The best thing about this trailer is the appearance of Josh Brolin as a young Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) – only 6 words from him in this trailer but Alin Wallacenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917690033754578492.post-10965587736510383052011-12-05T17:38:00.001Z2011-12-05T17:38:27.228ZGomer Goes ApeWell, it’s been a while…….again! This time it’s something film related (SHOCK!) that has got me to my keyboard. There has been a debate in Hollywood for a few years now for recognition of Performance Actors, y’know, these guys you see running about in Lycra with green dots on their faces.

Us Marvel fans have been waiting a wee whiley for this film and we still have to wait another wee whiley as it’s not out until May 2012! The Avengers is a culmination of all the other Marvel films.

I’m sure that a lot has happened since my last post but I decided that I would put up a little bit of a summary to explain the main points!

As a fan, i’m pretty excited about seeing some new ‘never before seen’ footage and from this trailer, the Lucasfilm Archive stuff looks like it will be pretty interesting.

GeeDub friend and occasional Author, laff2k, commented the other day that perhaps Peter Jackson is the better director, compared to George Lucas, as he’s had a 3 for 3 with LOTR and The Beard has only had 3 for 6 (at least I think that’s how he put it!) and I instantly baulked at the idea but y’Alin Wallacenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917690033754578492.post-36679424968610751692011-07-18T20:11:00.001+01:002011-07-18T20:11:14.955+01:00Gomer Makes A Change…..This l’il change ain’t gonna affect y’all but I’m gonna tell y’all about it anyroad.
