Weekend Plans

-

Well, there is only one set-in-stone activity for this weekend and that’s CASINO ROYALE! Once again, Paul and I are watching the Saturday morning first screening of the day. So, if you aren’t a lazy ass, you’ll find us at Musgrave Ster Kinekor at 9:30. We haven’t seen anyone for ages, so please come along and join us for the latest Bond extravaganza.

Anyway, after seeing the trailer so many times, Paul and I have become addicted to that fantastic rock/choral remix of the 007 theme. Scrounging around on the Internet, I found the mp3 to download right here. Enjoy.

Other than that, this weekend I want to try and come to grips with Sid Meier’s Railroads (I’m totally clueless when it comes to management sims), finish off my Christmas shopping, make a photo collage of my cousin, and maybe catch some sun while reading out in the garden. Although, it looks like we’re heading into yet another weekend cold front. Hmph, at least that’s weather appropriate for the cleaning of Paul’s horrifically messy study.

More boyfriend messy room cleaning! You're a very nice G-F. But if they want you to spend time in a room, they must make sure it's in an acceptable (according to the G-F's standards) state. Good luck. And Enjoy the flik, I'm soooo glad Pearce Brosnan is no longer Bond, now I can actually watch the movie.

No way I can get there in time ;)

Awesome blog, by the way. Since you liked the Bond trailer music (which I'm downloading now), I'll mention that I loved the stringed version of the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter in the trailer for Children of Men. Awesome movie that was, too. But, judging by your blog content, you probably know that already.

I heralded the launch of Digital Cinema last night here in Jo'Burg, and that is something to behold!

Hey Durbanites, other South Africans and Internationals, thanks for all your comments.

Ugh, I could so do with a public holiday, or 3-day weekend (Wasp, you're so lucky;)) to help me get through to the Christmas break. Such a pity the Day of Reconciliation public holiday falls on a Saturday this year.

And Brian, no, I didn't hear the Children of Men trailer music - probably because I didn't see the trailer ;). I'll have a look around for it, though. It sounds fantastic. I love movie scores and soundtracks.

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov

Weekend report-back: beach, board games and books

So I'm back in the office after a 4 day weekend. And I'm trying not to remind myself that it's almost 3 months until the next public holiday. Bah! Anyway, pop culture didn't play too massive a part in my mini-break. There was braai -ing (expected on National Braai Day), the baking of pretzels in celebration of Oktoberfest ( even if we weren't in Munich this year ), working on the next Girlz 'N' Games comic , and a family lunch to celebrate my mother and cousin's birthdays. A hefty chunk of the weekend however was spent at one of my favourite holiday destinations: the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. We were celebrating a friend's birthday at his family's holiday flat in Southbroom. So there was much chilling and eating and games playing, as well as kite flying, dolphin spotting and swallowing of saltwater as I flailed around in the choppy, chilly surf. We even managed to find Emo Shell! Anyway, film viewing was neglected this weekend, with the excepti

Movies today, SA!

Despite the fact that 5 new films open in South Africa today, not a single one is worthy of an extended Pick of the Week description. If you haven't seen it yet (like me), go and watch Disney-Pixar's Up instead. If you can't get past a deeply ingrained "grown-up" prejudice against animated films, what about seeking out the Johnny Depp-Christian Bale gangster movie Public Enemies ? Hell, you could even go and watch District 9 again. Just stay away from the mediocrity released this weekend. Yeesh. I Hate Valentine's Day - Nia Vardalos reteams with her My Big Fat Greek Wedding love interest John Corbett for this romantic comedy in which a carefree florist lives by a "5 dates only" rule so a relationship never develops and she never gets hurt. A charming restaurateur, however, forces her to re-evaluate her unusual approach to dating. 17% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes . Karate Kallie - A South African comedy about Kallie, a fat teenager, who is mercilessly
