Hils's journal

Yesterday was Greg's last day at work. We've worked together across two jobs for seven years and we were friends before we started working together. It's going to be weird not having him to geek out with every day.

So, to mark the occasion we went to see Iron Man 2

I can't believe it's been two years since I first saw Iron Man with supernaturalhel and tasabian while we were at Collectormania

( Spoilery stuff )

After the film we went to a nearby pub for a drink. Unfortunately a guy Greg and I used to work with was there and OMG he is one of the skeeziest guys I know. He makes me skin crawl at the best of times but last night he was drunk and kept calling me 'sweetie' and touching my hand. DNW!

A couple of Greg's friends that I know through gaming came in so we had one drink and made a hasty exit to another pub. I ended up getting very drunk. I only had four beers (and just bottles, not pints) but one of the girls we were with was celebrating scoring 100% on her exams so she bought a bottle of Champagne and I had two glasses.

Champagne and beer do not mix!

When I got home I drunk!dialled Dave and spoke to him for about half an hour. I can't remember a word of the conversation other than he told me he was fighting a boss on Final Fantasy XIII.

I texted him this morning and he said I was surprisingly coherant considering how drunk I was. I didn't make an ass out of myself so that's good.

Needless to say I'm feeling somewhat fragile this afternoon but it's okay. I have nothing to do but lie around in bed.

Lots of fandom chores to do but nothing that requires moving so YAY

1. Watchmen
2. The Young Victoria
3. The Boat That Rocked
4. Star Trek
5. Terminator Salvation
6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
7. Creation
8. A Christmas Carol

Wow, I have hardly been to the cinema at all this year. Although looking at that list I feel like there's something I've seen and forgotten to list

Anyway, I LOVED A Christmas Carol. We saw it in 3D which I didn't realise we were doing until we got there. It was pretty awesome. The Alice in Wonderland trailer in 3D was amazing as was the one for Toy Story 2

( Some vague spoilers for Christmas Carol )

1. Watchmen
2. The Young Victoria
3. The Boat That Rocked
4. Star Trek
5. Terminator Salvation
6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

( In which Tom Felton is made of win )

1. Watchmen
2. The Young Victoria
3. The Boat That Rocked
4. Star Trek

( Damnit Jim! )

1. Watchmen
2. The Young Victoria
3. The Boat That Rocked

When is Wolverine out in the UK? I suspect that's what I'll be going to see next

1. Watchmen

Yeah, it's March and this is the first time I've been to the cinema this year. It's just so expensive! On the plus side this was a cracking film to start my 2009 viewing with. As I have already reviewed Watchmen I'll just say that it was brilliant!

1. Sweeny Todd
2. Iron Man (x4)
3. The Incredible Hulk
4. The Happening
5. Prince Caspian
6. Wanted
7. Hancock
8. The Dark Knight
9. Wall-E
10. Hellboy 2
11. Tropic Thunder
12. Death Race

I'm not sure Death Race warrants a full review, but it was far more entertaining than I expected. Totally aimed at the boy racer type but I still enjoyed the fast cars, guns and explosions. Sometimes you just need to sit back and watch something mindlessly silly like this, and it had a good cast. Ian McShane is made of win, as always.

I must finish Deadwood at some point. I've only seen the first two seasons.

Films I've seen at the cinema this year

1. Sweeny Todd
2. Iron Man (x4)
3. The Incredible Hulk
4. The Happening
5. Prince Caspian
6. Wanted
7. Hancock
8. The Dark Knight

I quite fancy seein The Mummy 3 and Hellboy 2 but other than that I'm not sure what's coming out in the next couple of months that I want to see. Apart from Tropic Thunder of course.

I'm a bit the worse for drink on account of notsowise_sage not knowing the difference between a half and a pint ;) But here is a slightly rambling review of The Dark Knight

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!!
