Fantastic Films festival at the Media Museum

I think I'm beginning to recover from the exhaustion now. Had a simply marvellous (darling) weekend, involving meeting many people, consuming much alcohol and watching many many many films. On Friday alone I was sat in various cinemas for over 8^1/2 hours. So, for those interested, a summary review of the films I watched, in order of showing.

Day one: Friday 13th

( 12.00: Brain Dead—but not the one I expected )

( 14.15: Vampire Diary—including unexpected friends in the crowd )

( 16.00: Black Christmas—traditional college slasher pic )

( 18.15 An American Werewolf in London—so much better than I was expecting, and I knew it was good. )

if like me you've never seen this film?
Go and watch it. Now.( really, just do it )

( 20.15: The Mist )

Aftermath

After that, we went to a local Moroccan restaurant for a meal (hint to the waiter—if you want a decent tip, try to avoid serving the chicken dish to the vegetarian and telling him it's cheese), then onto the Gasworks. I was at this stage utterly exhausted (films tend to tire me anyway, enclosed atmospheres, etc), but it was fun. We eventually rolled home in the early hours.

I'm posting this via the flickr blog this tool from karohemd's picture of yself and snapesbabe in front of pmoodie's poster art, I'll do day two and three later.
