This is probably going to be a short post since, with the onset of a bit of a flu bug on Thursday, I haven't really been up to too much. I went into the weekend deciding that rather than worry about that "To Do" list of mine. Instead, I watched the final two discs of Season 3 of 30 Rock and listened to the audio commentary for Season 1. In between I continued the Soviet Union's conquest of the world as part of Making History 2.0: The Calm and the Storm, which is supposed to be a World War II game but I had downloaded a scenario set in 1985.
The flu hasn't really hit me as hard as I expected it might. I mean, I wake up with a sore throat in the morning but soon after I start my day it kinda clears up. I'm still not feeling 100% and I'm coughing a bit. Of course, this is written Sunday night so by Monday morning, that flu will probably have hit me with a wallop.
I meant to blog to tell everyone I saw Avatar last Wednesday. I still believe Hurt Locker deserved the Oscar but Avatar was a pretty cool movie. I definitely think the 3-D effects helped it, but I think, seen in 2-D, the effects and storyline would have still made it a worthwhile night out at the theatre.
I also finally saw 500 Days of Summer which I had been wanting to see since well...summer. It played one week at one theatre in London, and then disappeared. I had read the screenplay (although it was different than the movie by about one scene) and had the soundtrack. I liked the story that it had to tell and the message it had to deliver, although I don't know that the narrative style of switching from Day 300 to Day 1 to Day 56 to Day 259 really added all that much.
Now if I can just watch District 9, I can scratch both movies I've been saying I am going to watch for about month now off that list.
By the way, if anybody reading this in the London area knows when and where The Runaways is playing in the next couple of weeks, let me know, because that's one of those movies I'll hit a theatre to see.
