DVDs, Kill Bill watching, Posters, LOTR Marathon

A quick update while I take a break from doing work (lab report, fun; mathe­ma­tics notes, fun; engi­nee­ring mecha­nics ques­tions; fun, elec­tro­nics com­pu­ter simu­la­tion, fun; fluids and energy notes, fun). Have recently been fee­ling very fat — although phy­si­cally I may not look it, I feel a time will come when I will. Lack of sporty rou­ti­nes and an abun­dance of unhealthy eating makes me feel rather ill and unfit. Although I do take my awe­some vita­min pills and eat apples.

In these last two days I have purcha­sed myself some purty DVDs at some purty pri­ces;
Dead or Alive by Takashi Miike, £9.99
The Eye by The Pang Brothers, £9.99
Leon by Luc Bes­son, £8.49
Pulp Fic­tion by Quen­tin Taran­tino — 2 disc spe­cial edi­tion, £8.99

I am quite happy with my purcha­ses and hope to add to my collec­tion many more with time. Feel free to pay­pal me lots and lots of cash to fund this collec­tion, in return I will tell you how happy I am that you have hel­ped out a fellow human being. Ain’t life grand. And like a butterfly.

Last Fri­day I went to see the most won­der­ful “Kill Bill” at the local art cinema. I had ori­gi­nally plan­ned to take my special-lady friend, howe­ver ended up going with two mates ins­tead — for which I am very glad. This bloodshed slaugh­ter house of a movie would not have impres­sed and could have tain­ted the vie­wing for myself. Howe­ver, that said, the movie was abso­lu­tely one hun­dred per­cent pure won­der­ful­ness. It pro­vi­ded everything I wan­ted, was everything I had hoped for and expec­ted and gave me a thirst for more QT. Review coming soon to a web­site near you (if I get around to it any­time soon). I also plan to purchase the sound­track asap, Nancy Sinatra’s bang bang track cou­pled with the “Tomo­yasu Hotei — Battle Without Honor Or Huma­nity” song is simply a must have. My only fear is that I will grow tired of it through cons­tant lis­te­ning. Shame. 

Oh another note to point out; a nice little uni­ver­sity deal on pos­ters sees me with a Kill Bill, a Bat­man and a Matrix Reloa­ded pos­ter for a top notch prive of £5. That was nice. Im loving them. Now all I need is a thun­der­cats t-shirt. 

Last Thurs­day was spent very cons­truc­ti­vely watching the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Exten­ded edi­tion for three and a half hours, shortly follo­wed by the Lord of the Rings: Two Towers Exten­ded edi­tion, another well spent three and a half hours. The TTEE was a great impro­ve­ment on the ori­gi­nal and I loved the inc­lu­sion of more Merry and Pip­pin sce­nes and moving trees.
