Saw Robin Hood. Not terrible, but a bit disapointing. Fairly historically accurate though, that was nice. I don't get the "wrong accent" thing. Sounded fine to my ears anyway.

It was OK. I did notice the accent though. Probably because I'm a Londoner myself.

Saw Kick Ass last night. What a great movie. Very adult, but very funny. Great plot, solid acting.

Though, I would imagine that in the intervening few hundred years the accent has changed somewhat.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I didn't see it, and wonl't unitl it is at a second run theater. Kick-Ass was great, just waiting for Jimmy Pilgrim vs. The World now... looks very fun.

Would suggest as reading material: The Old Man's War trilogy by John Scalzi, The Dahak series by David Weber, and the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Of course, I will always suggest (DEMAND, DAMM-IT!!) that everyone read the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (and now Brandon Sanderson).

Eh, I just saw teh trailer with those Higgins Boats (complete with the underwater shots), that was enough...all that was missing was Primo Victoria in the background.

Reading two books,

Metro 2033 and Altered Carbon. Tonnes of atmosphere, not sure if I am liking where things are going.

I played Metro 2033 on xbox. It was alright. The story had problems - in the game at least. It was really, really not clear what your motivation was and just why the fuck you should care about those dark being thingies. But the atmosphere was nice and gameplay was pretty good. I wouldn't spend more than 15-20$ on it though.

Saw Kick Ass, enjoyed the movie.

Recently re-read the Burma Chronicles, it's a book by Guy Delisle, a cartoonist who chronicles his stay in Burma in a comic medium. He's also done one on Pyongyang and Shenzen. I really recommend this one and the Pyongyang book. It gives a little insight of how those countries are messed up but in an easy read.

Just Read" Coyote Warrior: One man, three tribes, and the trial that forged a nation" by Paul VanDevelder. A nice read on the roots of Native American Rights( and the government that stomped all over them)

Watching "Bear in the big blue house" and "Stuart Little 3: Call of the wild"

Someone's got a three year old (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

dresden files is an always read, currently reading Carnifex which is Kratman's second book in the series, (the first being "A desert called peace") and pulling missions from Ringo's "Kildar" series for the game that i hope to get running,

anime, ashes to ashes and jepordy are my visual drugs right now

nah, was thinking of running a mouse shifter and was looking for inspiration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif)

Watching: Movies - Transsiberian (about the train, tourists, and drug smuggling); TV - Leverage, Supernatural, Burn Notice (soon!)

i love this movie there something called dejavu within me while i watch this movie.

Still going through a few of the SR books, waiting for Corp Guide to hit. Also waiting for Fort Freak, the next Wild Cards novel (AND if Wild Cards: The Hard Call #6 comic will EVER come out. Biut I'm still ordering the HC collection in Sept.).

I may go see The Sorcerer's Apprentice, depenind on which theater near me has the better matineee showing/price.

reading: Turncoat, harry dresden novel, been borrowing it from my friend as it comes out on paperback. he also lent me the unincorporated man, that looks interesting.

Empire in Black and Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky, an interesting book where the humans of that world had to deal with huge bugs (from dog/cat sized to rodeo bull sized) and to survive they "learned" from these critters. So there are ant-kinden, beetle-kinden, dragonfly-kinden, etc.. Each with kit's own quirks and capabilities which are called Art. They even sort of take on their "parent" insects physical characteristics, like beetle-kin tend to be thick and squat with good endurance and a knack for technology, while spider-kin are lithe and graceful and extremely alluring (primarily the females). A wasp-kind empire arrises and begins to expand into the area dominated by various city-states of different bug-folk, with only a few individuals realizing that if the city-states don't band together they will all be conquered by the wasp empire. It is pretty-neat, not the best book I have read, but got some very interesting things in it.

Just finished reading Richard K. Morgan's Woken Furies, the third and last book in his Takeshi Kovacs series. Next up for my reading list is Peter Watts' Blindsight. My reading list lately is full of inspirations for Eclipse Phase, which has had me mildly obsessed with making characters for that game.

Just watched Moon, which was an awesome movie. I'm currently working my way through episodes of Firefly (again), streaming via Netflix to my PS3. I'm in a real "space" mood lately, I guess.

Very excellent stuff !!
Black Man and Market Forces are also good.

Have a crack at Neal Asher's stuff, too.

I love Moon! Sam Rockwell is such an amazing actor (though you couldn't tell from Iron Man 2).

I'm technically reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, (for the 1 twitter 1 book thing), but I've lost interest. I'm also reading the short story Call of Cthulu.

Just finished Changeless by Gail Carriger, which is a part of the Parasol Protectorate series. I highly recommend it if you like Steam Punk and don't mind a touch (well more of a dollop) of romance.

I also really recommend Black Man. It's a bit "sooner" than the Kovacs series, but there are some really good ideas in there for Eclipse Phase.

Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin! Excellent read. Its a 7 book series and he currently has the first 4 published. 5th is coming soon.

I read the first of the Dresden files books and I would recommend it.

And the HBO series is in production to start in 2011.

I've heard '5th is coming soon' for about four years now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Dresden Files is a good series; Butcher writes well.

Just finished Gardens of the Moon (Malazan #1) by Steve Erikson and really enjoyed it - a little busy at times, but a fun (if long) read.  Other books I've read over the past couple of months include Storm Front (Dresden #1) and Breakaway & Crossover (Cassandra Kresnov #1/2) by Joel Sheppard (really enjoyed these and Killswitch is likely next up).




AJC 

I liked the Cassandra Kresnov books, and got some inspiration.

I'm not a fan of military/gun obsession, so it didn't rank s high as it could with me.
