When lockdown started I wrote a list of films that I was finally going to get round to watch. I managed one and that was because it was on TV. This week I finally got through the list! Channel 4 showed Star Wars episodes VII,VIII and IX, one a week. I'd already seen VII, but... Continue reading

Star Trek (2009)
I don't know how I blinked and ten years has gone by since the 2009 Star Trek film. I was tired the other day, and there's been talk of it, due to it being the tenth anniversary, so I watched it. And then remembered exactly what I thought of it when I saw it for... Continue reading
Films
I finally made it to the cinema to see Fantastic Beasts this weekend. With the exception of Star Trek films I don't usually go and see films too close to them coming out because I don't like busy cinemas. Although Star Trek I take a day off for and see in the middle of the... Continue reading
Too hot to do anything
I looked at the weather forecast for the beginning of this week and decided I wasn't doing anything. So I didn't. It was too hot too. And definitely too hot to be turning computers on. So I haven't Things have improved now, though. It comes to something when I get excited about being able to... Continue reading
Star Wars TPM
Yesterday I gave into the urge to watch the Star Wars prequels. Or at least, the bits with Ewan McGregor in (I am so behind on his filmography - I'd nearly caught up at one time too). It took me a while to get used to the English accent, but after a while I stopped... Continue reading
Various Yuletidy things
I've been either tired or trying to finish off my Yuletide fic or both. And then distracted by family things. Although my tendency to wake up early has given me some time to read some Yuletide fic. I got three stories this year! Three! The Librarian: Charlene is all about Charlene and how she came... Continue reading
Star Wars TPM nostalgia
I read a long Star Wars TPM fic this week, after having not read any for years, I think. It mentioned events from films II and III that I really don't remember that well (even after playing Lego Star Wars). It reminded me of a few things from the Jedi Apprentice books that I'd forgotten.... Continue reading
Harry Potter Studio Tour
Yesterday I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour. It's expensive, but we got our money's worth, given that we took four hours to get round it all (they estimate it takes three). Although if we'd stopped and watched every video and looked at all the pictures on the audio guide we probably could have... Continue reading
Skyfall
I finally saw the latest Bond film today. I didn't go and see it at the cinema because I couldn't be bothered to put the effort in. Plus everyone was saying how great it was and previous things people have raved about I've hated. And I didn't want to hate a Bond film. I really... Continue reading
Star Trek Into Darkness (spoilers)
Although I say spoilers, what I really mean is this post won't make any sense if you haven't seen the film.
