WHERE DID MY TOES GO?
Christmas each years marks the annual disappearance of my toes due to excessive intake of solid Christmas Cheer. The only disappointment with our new oven (from Jennie's point of view) is that it's not quite able to handle two turkeys at once, and after observing the way my Dad hosed the bird of the day back on Tuesday I can now see the need. Have made a note to tie him to a chair until after everyone else has had their whack of the serving table before unleashing him. (At least I come by my appetite honestly).
ALIEN vs PREDATOR: REQUIEM
Saw this film at my local cinema yesterday, and what a massive improvement on the previous AvP it was! If you've read the comics or books, or played the games on PC you'd expect to see poor schmucks (us) caught between two very different types of hunters (aliens and predators). Alien vs Predator: Requiem delivers exactly that. In AvPR we finally get everything that was promised (and denied!) in the first AvP film, and more besides. The aliens are just as mad and bad as well all know and remember, and the Predator in this effort is like the galaxy's most extreme (and cranky!) garbage cleaner. On top of what we demanded after the first disappointment, we also get new toys and new Big Bads to punch a hole through your chest.
If there's any justice in the universe at all when it comes time to create the third film the Powers That Be will allow the same directors another crack at it, and make it a proper three-way fight between aliens, predators and Colonial Marines.
