That title can only mean one thing! Not quite as snappy as it could have been but hey, I don't get paid to write this. In fact I only do it to amuse myself and that title fulfilled that role for me. So I'm just going to bash them out like a thirteen year old home alone with the internet. Charming.

So there you have it. Amazing how little of my music is from this year, but that's the truth it seems. Good job there isn't a similar program for the 360. That one would be all out of whack too then. Bloody Blue Dragon would be in there too. Anyway, roll on 2010 and that.

Various Titbits #6
So, Christmas. Was fun wasn't it? Feel like I've eaten enough shit to defecate around a metric ton. Also had a bizarre red wine hangover that has constantly crept up on me all day like a fuzzy ninja pain blanket. If such a thing is possible. Been a good one though, my quizzing prowess has been (frankly) outstanding and my gullet has been well and truly pleasured. Mainly received the gift of money this year which heart-breakingly is going to go towards rent and bills. Although I did splurge out the full £39.99 on Left 4 Dead 2 which I've been plunked in front of for most of today. It's a painful thing because it certainly warrants the full game status it has in comparison to say ODST but it still is a little growth. Melee weapons are great fun, the new special infected add more to Versus mode and the tweaks on the level designs are brilliant. But the game is still pretty much the same. Hopefully we'll get some old school Valve drip feeds of free content for this one. Although knowing Microsoft I'll get my credit card out.
Christmas of course means one thing I haven't already mentioned and that is shit movies. Not seen an awful lot to be honest. Not sure how, usually some turd gravy like Over The Hedge would have me happily transfixed for a couple of hours like a simpleton toddler. But this year I couldn't do it. Not even the hilarious dubbing in the Neverending Story held my attention for more than half an hour. Although for what that film is half an hour is probably much longer than I should have been watching it for. Anyway, did watch the third in the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. First thing I should say is that I haven't seen the first two. Didn't really hurt though, I'm pretty sure it would have made as little sense if I had anyway. It was like watching a swash buckling equivalent of Transformers. Made no sense at all and just packed full of CGI and nonsensical shots. Johnny Depp was good though. So there's your silver lining. Anyway, watching the BBC's take on Day Of The Triffids later (or playing some Live depending on what my mate is doing) so will have at least one more thing to enjoy this festive period.

Avatar & Up
If I had $300 million then undoubtedly I would do something ridiculous. Probably have a statue made of me riding a dinosaur. I'd have it in the middle of my garden. Be great really. Not far from this idea is one of using the money to take ten years to make a film about a war between a load of marines from Halo and some over-sized smurfs that live in a jungle. You can pretty much summarise the plot of the film on a beer mat. Or a stamp. The dialogue is also up there with great George Lucas' as well, terrible one-liners and ham-fisted narration that is more like commentary for the blind than subtle thoughts. Anyway, now the negatives are out of the way I can say why this film is great. It's in the 2012 vein of "cinema blockbuster" and, unlike the underrated comedic highlight of 2009, actually achieves it. I only saw the film in 2D. But it was stunning. The action, the environments, just everything looked amazing. The look of the film is also pretty original, the jungle and it's inhabitants are especially something new. This is also coming from someone who's endured several space marine FPS' so I've seen a fair few aliens in my time. Avatar is a film that has to be seen at the big screen to be believed. It's easy to say it's crap before you've seen it, but you'll be surprised how quickly the acutely dull Sam Worthington and co suck you in to their world.
I don't know where we'd be without Pixar, they are the only company that can make consistently amazing films (Nobody mention Cars). Up is no different, although it's premise is a bit zanier. The film begins with what can only be described as a heart-warming walk through a man's life. I challenge someone not to watch this segment of the film and not be moved at all by it. This has always been Pixar's talent, establishing great characters that you instantly like. Then, through unfortunate incidence, ends up floating his house away on millions of balloons. Something everyone saw coming as it was all over the posters. The rest of the film is classic Pixar fair, with mix laugh out loud moments and some genuine heart-warming times. But all of this goes without saying. Pixar films are always brilliant and this no different. They pretty much have the formula to perfect animation nailed.

Where The Wild Things Are
I've been addicted to the frankly wonderful soundtrack to this film for a few weeks now. This only increased my excitement for the release of the movie down here. So I was disappointed to learn that the only early showing was at 3pm today. Which isn't really that early. Especially when you're going to bed at 6pm every night. Anyhow this also meant a solo trip for this feature, something that I must admit is a guilty pleasure of mine. The stigma associated of this was made all the more apparent to me when the only other people in the cinema was a trip out for a group of 7 year olds and a rather questionable looking gentleman also alone. I slid down a little in my seat when I noticed this. Anyway, the film. I'll be honest I fell in love with it. I was always going to. The pacing is fantastic and the subtle themes throughout are wonderfully done. I say subtle, I picked up on them all so it probably was a bit more obvious than that implies. The film simply summarises all the feelings of being a young boy. It's one of the first times I've seen it done so well. It is a great little movie, made for hand-holding, warm sofas and blankets. Something I didn't have the benefit of unfortunately, but I did have a small supply of chocolate so all is well. I can't stress enough how good this movie is, it may be a little bit full on for kids. But it ticks all the boxes for me.

Orphan & Crash Time III
I've had Orphan knocking around for a while but hadn't got round to watching it. The first time I sat down to watch it I got a rather downbeat phone call from my university tutor asking me for a tutorial. It put me on a bit too much of a downer to watch it. I sat and listened to OK Computer for an hour instead and contemplated the misery of existence. The tutorial was actually a good thing anyway so I don't why I felt so mopey. I now know what assignments I've got to look forward to in 2010. Fun, fun. Anyway Orphan is good. Its a good ol' fashion scare em up. With some rather brutal deaths. The hammer killing for one was rather horrible. Very reminiscent of the stabbing in GTA IV in terms of sound effects. The mother (Sarah Jessica Parker) descends in to madness very early on, which I guess is to be expected. The film may have been markedly improved if she did a Sex And The City style narration for her lacking sanity as well. Of course, I was upset to learn it wasn't SJP in the lead but someone called Vera. She was in The Departed though. So kudos is due. Anywho it all goes tits up at the end as the sweet cherub turns into an angry midget version of Jamie Winstone. Entertaining though, not the best horror movie of the year. But certainly a good one.
I try to download a lot of demos on Xbox Live. Just to get a good feel for whats coming out and to see if I find something that I might like. I don't write about it though really because its not a fair viewpoint on a game. You can only tell if you might like it or definitely won't like it from a demo. However Crash Time III transcends such boundaries. The game is like Burnout meets True Crime but it's set in a Sweden where everyone does New York accents. Driving feels like ice skating, the crash replays seem to happen at random and everything is valued at 17,000 Euros. It's terrible. But so bad it's good. I want everyone to play it. I want people to talk about it. The first mission sees you given a 45 second time limit to get to a bakery for breakfast. I shit you not. When the demo ends it claims "it furthers the exciting franchise" or something like that. I'll be honest I didn't realise there was others. But now I'll be researching for them high and low. Crash Time III for Game Of The Year. Possibly decade. Heard it here first.

Various Titbits #5
Been a busy week for for me, culminating in my last shift of the week in a couple of hours now. I'm officially nocturnal now, before I dabbled in insomnia. Occasionally not reaching slumber until the harsh rays of light and audible stumble of approaching school children (I live near a school, not by choice of course. Coincidence I assure you.). Anywho this leaves me with very little time for my usual habits of films and the like, but as ever I made time.
So cinematically speaking very little has happened. I did however get to re-watch Batman Begins last Sunday for the first time since I saw it at the multiplex. It seems strange that a film released about 5 years ago is only just having it's network premiere. I remember as a kid that network premieres were the most exciting thing about television. Another reason why Christmas was a magical time of year, Mum and Dad hadn't taken you to the cinema to see the film when it came out and now its on at 2pm on Boxing Day. Hurrah! But anyway, the film is better than I remember it being. Although there is no Ledger show-stopping performances there is just one long blockbuster that entertains from start to finish. Also making The Scarecrow scary is an achievement in itself. I always remember him being a bit lame in the cartoon but in the film he's realised as an element of true psychological horror. Something they also took to Arkham Asylum. Seemingly Batman can do no wrong these days. Here's hoping they do get round to making a third, even if The Dark Knight is going to be almost impossible to top I'm sure the Nolan brothers will conjure up a story which clamber near those dizzy heights.
I've also been watching a fair bit of TV but nothing out of the ordinary. All I will say is I'm very thankful for the BBC's comedic output. Something good to watch almost every night before work on the iPlayer. Still, saving True Blood and Misfits for the weekend. Going to get home at 12 today after my shift, whack on Score and have a few beers. Then start the catch up. Good times. I have also progressed quite far in Borderlands. I do find myself getting a little bored with the quests, lots of fetching and shooting and the like. Unfortunately no-one on my friends list is playing it or even owns it by the look of it and I don't really fancy diving in to the pre-pubescent, expletive ridden land of Xbox Live alone. Oh well, sparing plays for short periods have made this less of a worry but I can't help but feel I'm missing out on the majority of the fun of the game. If it's anything like that seen in Left 4 Dead its probably going to be a fair whack of it. Right best be off, got to make a sandwich for work. Now that I live in GMT+13. So I imagine this is what its like to be Russian, starting your day when everyone else has finished theirs. How very depressing.

Paper Hearts
I awoke this morning (read this afternoon) feeling a bit festive. Which is rare for me and especially unusual considering I've not been looking forward to it at all this year. But, this morn (aft) it seemed quite appealing. Spending just a few days with the family, a lot of working, but also lot of time just milling about. Which is my favourite part of Christmas. Blankets, left-over turkey and bad films. I even made a Spotify playlist for myself. Didn't realise how much I enjoy Band Aid 20's "Do They Know Its Christmas?" until today. Probably something wrong with me then.
All of that though is irrelevant to the film Paper Hearts. Christmas is barely featured, it doesn't feel very festive really. Its a mockumentary film about Charlene looking for love. Charlene is apparently a comedian, although she shows little evidence of this through the movie. In fact the film tends tread that whole predictable indie staple of love, loneliness and quirkiness. Its a nice film, but nothing to write home about really. The interviews and animation are quite enjoyable but the general love story pushing the story forward felt awkward and somewhat boring. Still, I imagine hipster couples will settle down in front of a roaring fire for it. Or whatever the hipster equivalent of fire is. Hot water bottles or something. Fucking hipsters.

So been on a nice little holiday, come back and got a job. Its been a productive week for this old Captain. Even up to date on my washing now. Only taken me about a year. Even those old pants that have been lingering under the bed have been put through the spin cycle. The only downside of this is that the house is now adorned with my underwear. Boxers of various sizes and shapes dangling from radiators, doors, pictures. I considered draping some over my fish but thought better of it. They don't deserve to witness such horror, they've seen enough in their time already. Anyway, so in the lull before I start my new found employment on Tuesday (at 4am!) I've been enjoying and enduring some movies and games as ever.
Whilst on my foray north I went to see 2012 at the cinema. The cinema was a lovely little independent place, bigger than here but still quite quaint really. However, the loveliness of the venue in no way prepared me for the film. Honestly, its the most astonishing thing I've ever seen. I've never laughed so much in a cinema before, everything about the movie is pretty terrible. I never thought I'd get bored of watching stuff get blown up, but I did. To sum it up really, someone said "my god" within the first twenty minutes or so. I can't really get across how bad this film is, but I also can't recommend it enough for that very same reason. With a group of like minded friends the laughs will just keep on coming. I'm going to forward it for comedy of the year. But be warned, it goes on for about three days.
I was speaking to my friend the other day about great films and we traded a couple of recommendations, I told him to watch In Bruges (a great film) and he told me to watch Click (...). I approached it with trepidation, as it has Adam Sandler in it. The amount of movies I like with Adam Sandler in I can count on one hand. None. Probably should have realised I wouldn't love Click when my friend began said conversation by praising You Don't Mess With The Zohan. I do partly want to see it out of morbid curiosity, it sounds so bad that it won't be good but highly offensive. That's very morbid curiosity I'm aware, but I'd like to see Sandler fall flat on his round punchable face. The cock. Anyway, Click. Christopher Wowlken (phonetics) gives him a remote that changes time. Which is good, you can fast-forward arguments with your ridiculously attractive wife, mute annoying people, watch your parents spawn you. You know, the usual scrapes that Sandler gets into. The thing is the story, acting and general concept of this film is quite flimsy. You can poo-poo it very easily but it does work quite nicely in a Disney kind of mold. But it also rests on the likability of Adam Sandler who makes me cringe with annoyance whenever his nasally drawl saunters into my innocent ears. To put it short, I would have liked it if anyone else played the lead. But Sandler grates me so much that I can't say I enjoyed it. Even though the acting gets rather straight by the end, the seeds are already sown by his madcap antics in the first half. Nice try Sandler, its probably the best film you've done. Probably, I'll never build up the courage to watch another to test that though.
Finally film wise I watched The Life Aquatic again today. I'm a bit of a fan of Wes Anderson. The font of writing on screen, the wide shots, the quirky dialogue, the great soundtracks. I could wax lyrical about how much I enjoy his movies for a long while. Although to be honest I covered a lot of the bases in the second sentence there. Would have struggled after that. Probably would have just put Bill Murray and then would have started scratching my chin for further thoughts. Anyway, its a great film. Two great things to take from this movie even if you don't like it; the acoustic Bowie covers and the submarine scene near the end. Both wonderful in their own way. I'd go as far as saying its my favourite (maybe second after Tenenbaums) Wes Anderson movie.
Finally games wise its been a mixed bag. Whilst I was away got a fair bit of Modern Warfare 2 happening split-screen. Lots of fun in the 2v2. I never dabbled in multi-player on COD4 so it was a new experience for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so I've slipped a little bit into the online mode back home now. A little mind. Because Borderlands is my latest Swapgame. Choosing the "top three only" package I had to wait a full week for it but I think its worth it. Sunk a fair chunk of hours into it last few days and found it very rewarding. I've always been partial to a bit of grinding. I, of course, refer to the nerd term of repetitively killing foes to gain levels and loot not the urban style of dance. Although, if the liquor is the right the hips may sway. But, good fun. Given up on the story, some guff about alien technology. Honestly couldn't care less. The mechanics are fun and the quests, if a little simple and predictable, are quite addicting. Should slot nicely in to that end of year list (not long now!).
