girlofprey: (Heroes Sylar Go Swallow a Knife)
The best part about researching the ENTIRE WORLD of a game/show you like, as I am doing currently, is when you find out things that wildly change your entire outlook on the game. For me right now it's Dragon Age, and I just found out that it is literally canon that Alistair was 20 years old during the events of Origins. I had a feeling the characters were younger than I assumed they were, since Morrigan is voiced by Claudia Black, who is definitely not a teenager, but is constantly referred to as 'girl'. But wow. 20. Which sort of implies they aimed for the Warden to be younger than I was assuming, to be of a like age - and which s/he'll kind of have to be for a lot of her relationship with Alistair/Morrigan/etc to still make that same peer-to-peer sense. Huh. 20.

I also I found out about things like the Murder Knife. Which I'm pretty sure I have used a few times without realising it. Better get used to that being canon too.

The other week, when the volunteering dudes disappeared again, I went to see Belle because I figured it wouldn't be out at the cinema for much longer, and I could go see 3 Days To Kill - a spy action film starring Kevin Costner - another time. But now 3 Days To Kill has gone out of the cinemas while Belle was on for an extra week, lasjdkasljl.
girlofprey: (Iron Man Hammer Text)


This continues to be one of my favourite song videos I've ever seen. I want to hire those dancers for my wedding. Should I ever have one.

Last week I went to see Anchorman 2, and on Monday I'm hoping to see Frozen. And then I will have seen all the films I've been meaning to since before Christmas. For the record, Anchorman 2 was - basically a lot like the first Anchorman really. Relying heavily on surrealness, sometimes genuinely really funny, sometimes a bit flat and fairly offensive. If you are going to see it - if it's still on anywhere in the country - be warned there's quite a few rape jokes in there, a hilarious attempted suicide, and an extended subplot about comedy blindness. It's not horrific, because as per usual for Anchorman it's hard to take anything they say seriously, but still. Oh, and another subplot 'riffing on' racism basically for the sake of it. So. Yeah. The anchorman battle was probably better than the first film's though. And I did love it when [spoiler character] turned up.

Also love having to wince every time the Cuban Fury trailer comes on and they're throwing around the word 'tranny'. And pretending Nick Frost is an expert unbeatable salsa dancer, obviously.

And for my CINEMA FUTURE; I wasn't interested at all in the Jack Ryan film, but it turns out Kevin Costner's in it, so. Also I would like to say that the film poster with weird straight lines on it at first glance made me think it was an action film about snooker players.

Looking up Kevin Costner to check he really WAS in the film also led me to 3 Days To Kill, which looks AMAZING, and I hope is on in the UK at some point, because at the moment the imdb Release Dates page is being unhelpful. But I'm guessing at some point in February. I'm probably also going to see the Lego film with my nephew, because the games do tend to be pretty funny. And, y'know, Lego. And I quite like the look of Out Of The Furnace. It looks chock full of guys, but also action-y and angsty. So hopefully it'll be some good.

And imdb is now telling me that Jesse Eisenberg has been cast as Lex Luthor in the new Superman film. Wow. Excuse me while I lol.

And the movie posters I've been seeing around are telling me that the new Captain America film is out the day before my birthday. Happy birthday to me.
