OMGSQUEE!

Silent Hill movie. Oooooooooooh yeah.

( Go and see it. RIGHT NOW. Then read this: )

Anyway. Overall, I don't think it could have been better. At all. Okay, I think they tried a little too hard to cram all the game music into the first few scenes, but you really did forget all about that after ... I'm gonna say ten minutes, and even during those minutes, it's just a "Oh, there's another one" thing; after all, it's good game music. The film was beautifully cast, beautifully scripted, beautifully acted, beautifully set and beautifully shot. I am going to go see it again at the earliest opportunity.

Well? What are you doing sitting here faffing about online! If you like horror films at all, go and see it. Now. I promise you will not regret it.

Niftiness

I am up. I am doing productive things. Like laundry. Also going through Hollow City posts (we are back to "still not king", but predominantly because we've been stuck on "Sunday, after dawn and approaching noon" for over a week now) and listening to Silent Hill soundtrack. Whee!

Whenever my load of sentaku is done washing (which should be any minute now) I will go and put it on "dry" and then get dressed and go out. Must to do the birthday present shopping. I also need new d10s because Yuki, to show her displeasure at being left alone while dodgyhoodoo and I enjoyed our funky Silent Hill goodness last night, knocked the little espresso jug whatsit I keep my d10s in over and spilled d10s into spots where they are hidden and therefore irretrievable. I wanted new dice anyway.

Speaking of shopping, though, we got some niftiness yesterday. Okay, I bought niftiness but it's the same difference. Anyway, what we got is The Lone Gunmen box set, the recent TV adaptation of Salem's Lot and, for me, a copy of The Canterbury Tales. I haven't got any further on The Name of the Rose but I'm about two-thirds through that Kate Mosse book Labyrinth. Which isn't bad, but won't be finished until next week because I left it at work. It is a somewhat big and lumpy mofo, along the lines of Jonathan Strange, and just a touch too big to fit comfortably in my jacket pocket. So not quite good enough to justify the wanting to haul it home on top of my new book and DVDs.

Anyway. Laundry's done, I think. So off I go.
