    Just so you know, I’m breaking a cardinal rule and blogging whilst drunk here. OK, not drunk, just mildly merry, but still. Intoxicated. Not good. Please feel free to ignore anything said from here on in…

    Why am I buzzed on a school night? Because this evening was the work annual party (because we rock), so the whole division went punting on the Cherwell, then had a lovely BBQ, and wine, and strawberries and cream. You really couldn’t have had a more English evening! Plus the weather was perfect.

    Only one movie trailer for you today – it’s been a bit of a quiet week. There was this one to do with secret agent guinea pigs, but I just couldn’t bring myself to sully the blog with it. Low they might be, but I *do* have standards.

    So the trailer?

    9 – I’ve shown the teaser to this before (and actually the teaser works better, more intriguing), but this still looks like an awesomely screwball movie from some brilliant minds. A must see.

  2. Tuesday’s Treat

    May 26, 2009 by Cas

    Before you start, yesterday was a bank holiday here in the UK, and I was busy riding on a motorbike and enjoying the sun too much to post. So we will have a Movie Tuesday instead…

    The Mysteries of Pittsburgh – Michael Chabon is a genius, so of course I want to see this!
    Gamer – mmmmmmmm Gerard Butler doing his stuff. See last week’s reasoning re pretty men and blowing shit up.
    Quiet Chaos – something for a DVD I think, if only because a cinema release over here is a lot less likely, but the story really intrigues me.
    Sherlock Holmes – oh, come on. Robert Downey Jr. Enough said! But it also look so, so kick-assly funny!

    In other news, Meadow Palace is shortly going to become Meadow-need-a-new-name! I’m moving house in three weeks time. Eek! This whole spur of the moment stuff is turning into something of a habit for me. For someone who professes, loudly, that she wants to put down roots and hates surprises, I sure am putting myself in the way of a lot of change at the moment. Clearly the wanderlust side of me is stronger right now – it’s happy with the work side of things, so it’s meddling in the living arrangements.

    All fun, though I am having serious doubts about how I am going to orchestrate the mechanics of the move. Despite being ruthless and ditching a shed load of crap when I moved up to Oxford eight months ago, I still have so much stuff, with the buggersome problem that it is all the stuff I WANT/NEED on a regular basis. Hmmmmm. When are the geeks going to perfect that site-to-site transporter beam, hey?

    But I get a cat! The house has a cat!!!! She’s called Whisky and is apparently very, very grumpy, but I am sure I will win her around. And I here by promise not to post too many cat pictures. Perhaps a limit of one a week?

    Till tomorrow my lovelies :)

  3. Movie Monday

    May 18, 2009 by Cas

    Before you all start telling me off for falling off the post-a-day band wagon before it had even got rolling, I should have made it clear: I meant a post every week day. Part of the reasons I stopped the Roasts was that they were just taking up to much of my weekends.

    So now we’ve cleared that little misunderstanding up, what to talk about today?

    Well, I am feeling rather :( because lots of Americans have been hiding from me. I’m starting to think I smell or something! Perhaps they know if they get me on the phone I will lull them into a false sense of security with my cute British accent, then *wham*!

    Or not. Still, it’s hard to stay cheerful after a week of no responses. Sob.

    Now, despite the fact I haven’t written a Roast in a long, long time, I still collect links constantly. So I figured Monday could be Movie day? Lots of trailers (I know this will please Abi at least!)

    Up grumpy old man, ballon, kid. Sillyness.

    The Cake Eaters

    Funny People – I’m on the fence about this one. Could go either way.

    Public Enemies – Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. Come on!

    Love the Beast – Eric Bana being silly about a car. Adorable. And hot.

    Gigantic

    Ghosts of Girlfriends Past – I must have been in an odd mood when I bookmarked this one.

    Dragonball Evolution – even my love for James Marsters, which is pure and never-dying, cannot make me want to watch this movie.

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – I found myself trying to defend Transformers 1 at my brothers BBQ on Saturday. That will teach me for trying to convince geeks the film was good! I just like Michael Bay, ok? Hot men, women, cars, robots, explosions… There is nothing else I NEED in my movies!

    Alien Trespass – one for Moose with her B-movie obsession I think ;)

    500 days of Summer – so the synopsis doesn’t do it for me, but I enjoyed the trailer

    Merry Gentelman

    The Escapist – supreme cast. Let’s see if they can pull it off.

    Easy Virtue

    My Sister’s Keeper – not a fluffy by ANY stretch of the imagination, and stiring some emotions I’m not sure I want stirred in a public cinema. But definitely one for a DVD in the privacy of my own room with a big box of tissues!

    Adam

    Cheri – doesn’t Michelle Pfieffer ever AGE?

    The Princess and the Frog – clearly, you’re never too old for Disney…

    And I think that should keep you all going! See you tomorrow :)
