Fantastic Films Weekend

[matgb]

Very (very) very cool. A few clunkers, a few wastes of time, some awesome silliness (Big Trouble in Little China on the big screen anyone?), 300 in an IMAX.

Countess Dracula. Ah well, can't all be good. Short films varied from fun and silly, to thought provoking to downright weirdness. Might manage a coherent revue, or at least summary, when I've got some functioning brain cells left, but, um, we left the house at 10.30am this morning, having started watching Doctor Who last night at about 2.30am. Oops. Jacobi interesting, end of the universe heat death interesting, "post humans" badly explained plot monsters, the rest, well, like an old school report; Could Do Better. If I'm coherent I might manage a poll thingy but odds are small.

I'm getting differing messages about this episode.

elethe liked it.

abigailb appears to be enthusiastic.

I think I'll stick with the comment I made to elethe's post: Blink was "proper sci-fi", Saturday's was "proper Dr Who" - complete with "quarry for alien planet", "sub-Star Trek alien", "unexplained ferals", but, more importantly "proper cliffhanger" and, even more importantly "y'see, there were a bunch of Doctors before this one...".

Well, I haven't had time to do my usual Sunday trawl through the better reaction posts, I'll be doing that later, but it was in my book merely OK.

And all pointers are towards the Doctor waving the sonic screwdriver at Jack's wrist thingy and them bouncing back to election day or just after. We'll see.

Was good to have a quarry though.

I enjoyed it. Firstly because of Jack being back and the 'banter' between him and the Doctor... as that was going on I wasn't playing much interest in the story (which wasn't bad, it just pales compared to the last few). Secondly the end bit. Liked the performance from Jacobi.

Yep, and my money is on the wrist thingy coming into play as well!

And it was a good quarry :)
