Shurely shome mishtake?
Eee....long time no blog. Not much of note to add & I'm kinda buried with r/t workstuff. Two quick things:
Thing One. Shopping in Toys 'R' Us at the w/end (All Your Time Are Belong To Us - it's impossible to escape from that store in anything under an hour). Came across a 1/18 scale replica of the '69 Dodge Charger from the old Dukes of Hazzard TV show. Faithful reproduction in nasty orange & rebel flag on the roof.
One glaring problem - text on the box that read: "Hood, Trunk & Doors all open".
And yes, I know it's pretty sad to admit that I immediately recognized this was an error.
Thing Two. Chills! Sausage & I made one of our rare visits to the movies on Friday night. (Brand new mondo jumbo Cineplex up the road a way in darkest Scarberia. V. cool theater indeed.) Sitting there, snarfing into the Nachos 'n' cheese effect product, happily snuggled down in the very comfty chairs.
Sudden jaw-drop: screen lights up with a single image of a slowly spinning rune-engraved ring and the v/o starting: "One ring to rule them all..."
Crikey! Guess I totally missed that they were doing a movie. Trailer looks promising - understated but v. atmospheric.
Please, please don't let it be pants...
(Choice of film that night, btw: 15 Minutes. Verdict: middling-to-utter pants in parts. De Niro on autopilot. Reasonable trapped-in-blazing-tenement scene. Largely predictable. Escapist, but ultimately unsatisfying).
*poof*
