Friday five.
Sep. 3rd, 2015 04:43 pm1. Had a bad throat/chest infection all week, it's easing off a bit now but my sleep schedule has been even more screwy than usual (a thirteen hour and nine horur sleeps around 3am-3pm) and the coughing has left my entire torso aching. Have meds to help but they haven't been very effective so far.
2. The evil people at XBox Live and Ubisoft had a sale on, so the balance I'd kept on my account to last a few months is gone. I got Assasin's Creed 3, AC:Liberation and AC:Rogue along with the amazing Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. I'm a fan of daft 2D platformers and most of the ones I'vep layed recently have been retro style on my 3DS. This is on my telly and is absolutely gorgeous to look at and is all bright and cartoony and a wonderful antithesis to all the gry/brown bald space marine games we get.
Also, this level is the first time I've failed a level due to hysterical laughter in a good while.
The moment the singing started, I completely lost it.
3. Due to illness, havent gotten much played or watched, last night ended up with me rewatching random episodes of Qi (my go to comfort telly) until 2am. I did get some Michael Crichton related films rewatched. There's a moment in Westworld where the science team scoffs at the idea of a disease infecting the robots, but then in 1973 outside of a few government labs, computer virus were unheard off. On the other hand, the floaty drones form 1984's Runaway are very prescient.
4. Wes Craven died, I don't have as much of a connection to his stuff as many, mainly because I was more a sci-fi kid than a horror kid growing up, but I did appreciate his stuff when I finally saw it. My favourite of his movies remains Shocker, which is hokey fun that holds up well today.
5. And Dean jones died, another icon of my childhood due to a combination of a lot of live action Disney stuff being released on home video in the early eighties when we got our VCR and rental shops started springing up and the Montrose Movie Club which was a two nights a week summer thing for kids where they showed fifty percent live action Disney stuff for a couple of years.* In fact, I associated him with Disney movies so much, I even though he was in a couple he wasn't. I'll be watching The Love Bug and Blackbeard's Ghost over the weekend at least.
* other stuff shown, all three Battlestar Galactica movies, the first two Smokey & The Bandit movies (no idea if they were cut or not) and an infamous showing of Star Trek:The Motion Picture where they put the wrong reel on halfway through and didn't notice for almost fifteen minutes.
