Danny Boyle, Mickey Rourke, Heath Ledger – Oscars 2009

By Dwardus | Published January 22, 2009

Well the Oscar nominations are out. I’m not going to go through the whole list (which you can see here), but here’s my outlook. Slumdog and Danny Boyle have been nominated for 11. I really hope they get some of these as Danny Boyle deserves awards and the cast were superb. I’d love Boyle to pick up best director and Slumdog to get best picture. Also, It’d be only fair for Mickey Rourke to get best actor for The Wrestler. I’m suprised Downey Jr’s got a nomination as best supporting actor for Project Thunder but he’s awesome and played a very funny character. Heath should (and probably will) get it for The Dark Knight though. I’ve yet to watch a lot of the nominated films (quite a few aren’t out here in the UK yet, like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Milk).

Kill It, Cook It, Eat It

By Dwardus | Published January 11, 2009

I overdosed on this show last week. I was looking for something to put on in the background so I loaded up iplayer and stuck this on, having read a few lines on it in last weeks paper. Kill It, Cook It, Eat It’s premise is simple – 9 people from different walks of life with very different outlooks on eating meat, animals in general and what you should and shouldn’t do are asked to hunt, kill and eat the animal peculiar to the episode. In the current series they’ve boiled bunnies, quacked ducks and erm… shot deer.

The King of Rock n’ Roll

I’ve been watching Spaced again. Here’s a bit of Prefab (Daisy puts it on in the second ep!)

Let’s not Fallout. Here, have a drink.

By Dwardus | Published December 21, 2008

It finally feels like Christmas which is nice. I had a few drinks on Friday and it was pretty cool (while still embarrassing in places), but I was knackered before I started. Yesterday (Saturday) was mainly sitting around playing Fallout 3 and today hasn’t been much different! I have had a chance to do a bit thinking about my story though. I have an annotated manuscript back from one of our group and it is awesomely helpful – now I can fix things that are broken and/or aren’t as clear as they could be in my story. Despite the fact that I was feeling pretty crappy after giving it out (I rushed to get it out the door and… well I’m gonna stop going on about it, cos that’s not helping!) Long and short is – the feedback made me feel pretty good and now I’m happy to go back and edit things.
