Star Trek

I never watched Star Trek as a series so I cant do this film justice. But going in blind, I have to say this was an incredible movie! J.J.Abrams has done it again!

The cast is incredible... I dont need to list it's starring members again and I am sure you all know by now anyway. The only thing that bugged me was Zachary Quinto as Spock. To me, all I saw was Sylar through and through. Both characters are similar in their own way given their ability to ignore all emotion and stay calm no matter what the situation, but I cant be the only one seeing this right?

Simon Pegg was awesome in this movie. He plays Scotty, a genius in the Star Trek universe, but also the comedian. Pegg was a perfect casting for this role and had me in hysterics every time he was on the screen!

As for the plot... It was believable and it made sense in its own way. It's just good to see how it included Leonard Nimoy and I suppose it was a good way to 'restart' the Star Trek franchise.

There isnt much I can say without giving away the whole movie so I suggest watching it yourself (I hear there is a decent copy floating around the interwebs!).

Awesome movie!!

Oh and Chris Hemsworth, the dude that played old daddy Kirk, has been cast as Thor, another Marvel movie starting production.

Watch the Season finale of Fringe by the way... Leonard Nimoy is a very significant charater :P


In completely unrelated news, Wolverin Origins will have a sequel... of sorts... The next movie will centre around Deadpool, the dude played by Ryan Reynolds. Interesting role for him but it seemed to work with what little screen time he had in Origins.

Thats all for now... Maybe... Who knows when I will next update?

Hello World...

Yeah so I havn't blogged in a while. Half due to my own laziness and the other half due to the Dragonica CBT. That ends on the 22nd though so atleast until the OBT I wont be doing much but 'revising'. Even the word is difficult to say. I have never revised for any exam, which explains why I am in this predicament now. Bee (the girlfriend) helped me work out what I needed to get the minimum required for Derby uni. Hopefully Im not being too unrealistic in the hopes that I can actually achieve these grades providing I... 'revise'.

I better get the grades.. Already applied for my student loan (huge debt here I come!).

So theres 3 more days (excluding exams) left of school and then Im gone! I am also more optimistic about May Ball now considering I baught everything ready for Thursday night. I need to look good if Im going to be stood next to her :P

I get to glide through the rest of this week knowing I never have to take another lesson at that school :) Its a good feeling!

In other news...

Scrubs is confirmed for another Season! Season 9 of Scrubs has been given the go-ahead and Zach Braff is clinging on the squeeze everything he can from the Series. Him and Sarah Chalke will be in 6 more episodes to wrap up their story line. Im not exactly sure how Scrubs is going to be with JD in it... Who will Turk cling to now?

Some people are saying that they should have left it at 'My Finale'. It some ways they are right... It was such an amazing episode to finish off such an awesome Series that it should have kept its lime light. Now there is another season coming, 'My Finale' isn't exactly JD's finale at all... Kinda makes it all pointless. Anyway.. Im just happy its going to continue, with or without JD.

I promised to give my opinions on Star Trek so I will do it in another post :P

The End of an Era

So the final episode of Scrubs aired last week. I watched it with my girlfriend yesterday and I have to say it was quite upsetting. Topped the last ending of Friends for me!

The end of a decent TV show always sucks for me... I hate season ending let alone the last episode ever! Though, saying that, Bill Lawrence has considered a new sitcom with a different cast (god I hope they keep in Turk even thought it wouldn't be the same without JD) and possibly a different name. It would never match up to Scrubs with Zach Braff but I trust is Bill Lawrence's abilities as a Director and Writer so I know it will still be worth the watch.

The last episode ever 'My Finale' was by far the best Scrubs episode I have seen. It was a full 41 minutes long, twice the length of usual episodes, and was packed full of laughs and the odd sad moment :(

It also leaves questions... For instance, the Janitors name. Glen Mathews? The writers did well leaving us questioning it.

But I think the most defining moment in the episode had to be when Dr. Cox finally shared his feelings about JD. The BEST rant he has ever done!

"For the record he was the best doctor that ever came through this dump. John Dorian was the first and only doctor that cared as much as I do and you can forget about him being just an exceptional physician, because the fact of the matter is... he was a damn exceptional person. It's why people gravitated to him. It's why I did. He was my friend."

Bit over the top but seriously unbelievable :P

Anyway.. Got to get to school for some assembly... Will update tonight after Star Trek!

Oh and SPOILERS!

Picking it up...

So I finished my computing coursework. Was it worth all the hours? No.... Was it worth leaving until the last minute? No... Am I dissapointed? Yes...

Its too late now...

At least I feel a weight has lifted off my shoulders. Leaving me with a slightly less heavier weight with my exams looming ever closer.

But ignoring them... I will enjoy the rest of this week.

God I love orange wednesdays! I get to please my girlfriend with a night out and enjoy a great movie all for the price of a single ticket! I wonder if they have something similar in the US? Ahh well... Its genious!

So Star Trek... Really looking forward to this and have been since the first glimpse! What a cast!! Sylar is a badass and Zachery Quinto to be playing Spock?! Not to mention Simon Pegg and Roldy (John Cho)! Never been a Star Trek fan but with a cast like this I really dont want to miss this.

J.J.Abrams has only recently become such a huge name. If a movie/TV show has his name on it there is a good chance I am going to watch it.

Which brings me to Fringe. If you havn't seen this yet.. Check out the 2 hours pilot! It is like a movie on its own. I have been watching this weekly with my girlfriend and we both love it! It is just a shame the season finishes this week. So sad :(

I dont know what Im going to do after this week. Lost, Smallville and Fringe finish this week. Scrubs, Heroes, Inbetweeners, Shameless, Skins.... ITS ALL OVER!

What the shit will I watch?!

Ahh well.. Still have my animes.

Speaking of which... Full Metal Alchemist has started up again with Brotherhood. I loved the original and look forward to more episodes! Apparantly Brotherhood follows more closely with the Manga which I have not read yet for some reason. Will have to get reading soon though I think!

I think I will leave it at that for now seeing as my mind has gone blank :)
