I watched some Adventure Time yesterday, after constructing a great pulsating trough of poutine to engorge myself with. I saw the 'Croak Dream' episode, which felt deep and delicious. I find some of the lingo they use a little excruciating. Not the rampant truncation of words or phrases so much as lots of nothing-words being used to describe essential things. 'Glub glubs' 'Glob world' 'Gloobs' just a lot of that garbage. It doesn't take away from the overall quality, it's part of the world that they inhabit. I just find it tiresome.
Glob is there version of God. It's really a way they can say "Oh my God" without some religious crazy people saying it's offensive. Glob is one of 4 heads (Grob, Gob, Glob, and Grod), they're all brothers, one's a sister. Magic Man is his younger brother, and he's a huge troll. (He once turned Finn into a huge foot and also he turned all the water into hair, and the whole population of Mars all got so thirsty and drank it. And when they drank it they apparently went bald.
Actually, it has a huge backstory, so shut your mouth. It just hasn't been touched on in great detail yet. Wait till you see the Ice King's backstory... hoo boy.

Watched Scott Pilgrim VS The World at a outdoor cinema (I say cinema, it was a projector in my mate's back garden )
I know people have mixed opinions about that film but I love it. It's one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a long time and it's not just I'm a gamer (though I guess that's a big reason) but it's the fact that it's really funny at parts and the special effects are awesome; The sword fighting and the fight between those twins spring to mind.

Ice King's back story is quite depressing actually, seeing as he lived through the Mushroom War and his "princess" (aka Betty) left him
:
Can I just point out to non-viewers that Ice King's back story doesn't involve him prancing around and singing pretending to be Marceline.

What I'm saying is that you don't need to understand the backstory to really enjoy the show. It's engrossing and interesting, and adds to the vastness of the Adventure Time universe, but not a neccesity.
I Watched Monster the other day. It was alright. Charlize Theron was really good in it. It wasn't all that interesting for a good chunk of the movie, though.
It was alright, but there were so many gaps in it. It's like it built up to something really cool and then they copped out at the very end. It would have been better if they'd condensed the start and done more with the end. Too much setup for not enough payoff.
Also, that last line was so bad I went into cardiac arrest.
Who was the one here who said they say Beyond the Black Rainbow and liked it?
Because I just watched it, and it was fucking terrible. Like, I pride myself on being able to appreciate avant garde wank and experimental films, but that was just two hours of Instagram-tinted bullshit to tell a five minute story, and the payoff for sitting through all of the slow motion and retro tripe was the 'villain' trips and cracks his head on a rock? Are you fucking serious?
Fuck that movie. Fuck it hard.

Recently rewatched The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. I like Stephen King stories a lot. I've also been watching the first series of 24. Man is it dark! I forgot how violent it was. No wonder the BBC stopped showing it on TV!
The Doctor Who episode with the cubes was fun. I liked the cube that was playing cheesy party music non-stop!
