So some stuff as it comes.

Terminator 3 was good fun actually. I enjoyed it quite a bit. My thoughts, crossposted from The V

Caught a preview last night.

Enjoyed the ending a lot. Movies where the world ends and the heroes loose are good things and there should be more of them.

Best moment, the TX handshaking on her mobile. I saw it with a group of guys from work who are all ex call centre and hearing a modem handshake is a beautiful sound. It was a great little moment.

On the other front, where the fuck was the music? Credits roll and we get the voiceover and then it goes away and you still there waiting for the music. No music.

Terminator strides towards John Connor and you wait for the music, no music. What was up with that?

The humour was ok, some of it worked, some of it didn’t. The breast increase was shit, but the cameo by Silberman was funny. The coffin was a little disappointing. It was fairly obvious it would have lots of weapons but I was hoping for more.

Having Arnie having just killed John Connor was excellent and a nice moment.

It felt a little short but also fairly fleshed out at the same time.

Been talking about The Shield lots, it’s taking off in the office. John watched the first disc and ordered the box set. It’s funny listening to what Dave and John have to say about it and then it really struck me (stop reading here lads, I’m going to talk about the second season)…. Dutch is the tragedy of the show. It’s not about Vic and the strike team, it’s about Dutch. Looking forward to next weeks episode.

Thanks again to Shug’s taping, I watched West Wing last night and it was good. It was funny, the writers seemed to have buckled up a little. It’s about time that Charlie got some good screen time, but I don’t like the way they are doing it. Not a bad episode at all. Donna really needs more screen time.

Bloggings gonna be pretty limited for the next while, 9:30 – 6:00 Monday to Friday. So that’s gonna take a lot of things away. No sitting with an entry for a few hours and seeing how things go. It’s annoying. Joking around after the movie last night, there was some confusion over a plot point and I said to someone to go home and talk about it on the internet. Which of course I would have, had I had an internet to work with. Not good, not good at all.

Soundtrack for today is Once More with Feeling the Buffy musical episode. It’s really smart and done to good music. It’s a little nostalgic I guess some old times have been on my mind for the past few days. I’m enjoying it lots.

Oh more geeky stuff, new trailer for The Matrix: Revolutions last night which was excellent and a low quality but excellent trailer for Return of the King.

Played some pool last night and it was bad, I wasn’t playing very well at all and didn’t manage to win any full games. Won a couple of 9 ball but that doesn’t really count for much. Hope to get some playing in after work tonight.
