I knocked off all of Game Of Thrones season 1 a couple weekends ago. It was quite spectacular. Not the show I assumed it was. It's not "the best show I've ever seen" like my friend had told me days earlier, but totally worth it.

It's pretty fantastic. Definitely one of the best things HBO has going for it right now, IMO.

I wouldn't have expected Game of Thrones to be so much about the politics even after the first episode... got the books for Christmas and not sure I want to read them, because I enjoy the surprises the show throws at you...

Anyone catch the Game of Thrones Season 2 Premiere on Sunday?

I thought it was pretty awesome. Went by pretty quickly, and it seemed like it was mostly just setting up stuff for the rest of the season, but still very interesting.

I can't get enough of Shark Tank.

I felt a little lost with Game of Thrones at times after all the time between last season and this season, but it's awesome that it's back and that's no different from how I felt at the beginning of last season.

Saw the Hunger Games on the weekend, outside of a pack of moron junior high-schoolers in the theatre and it was pretty decent. I think I took "It's Nineteen Eighty-four for pre-teens" a bit too literally. Surprisingly violent for a movie aimed at a relatively young audience.

Took the family to the movies to watch The Avengers today. It was pretty good too!

You could tell we don't go to the cinema often, as we all got dressed up for it. It's probably very sad now I come to think about it

Like the Avengers?

Watched a movie recently called Resurrect Dead. It's a doc similar to Exit Through The Gift Shop. It's about a handful of guys that have been obsessing for years trying to figure out where these tiles that have been embedded into the ground all over the north eastern US and in a couple parts of South America are coming from. The tiles have been there for a few decades and are still spreading. Along with trying to figure out where they're coming from, each tile has the same wacky message, which the guys try and figure out the meaning. I really enjoyed it.

I also knocked out two older seasons of Top Chef. Watched both last week and will probably start the next one this week. Season 6 was great, even though you can predict the top 4 by the second episode. Season 6 was easily the strongest cast I'd seen up to that point.

Watched Don't Be Afraid of The Dark. A good B-movie horror film, and Katie Holmes makes me think Tom Cruise isn't totally crazy.

Also making my way through MI-5 on Netflix.

Did anyone else besides me watch Once Upon A Time this season? I started watching it 'cuz of the LOST connection (the creators were big contributors to that series) but ended up enjoying it enough to continue through. It's very much like LOST, only, with fairytale characters trapped in "our world."

Game of Thrones.

Master Chef Australia, it's nice to have a bunch of people I can hate with all my energy.

Has anyone check out Hatfields and McCoys this week? I have all 3 episodes on my DVR and haven't watched them yet.

Game of Thrones finale this weekend.

I am excited.

[St0ph]

It's hard to imagine the finale will be as exciting as Blackwater and I'm a little worried knowing what I know about the books that they have too much to do. It's friggin Game of Thrones though so I know I wont be too let down.

I finally got to watch Akira tonight. I was a little prepared for it to not live up to the ridiculous weight placed upon it, but I actually ended up finding is supremely disappointing. I don't know how I'm supposed to relate to or care about the characters. They seemed to be mostly without personality to me. I appreciated the visual stylings, but it felt like such an empty film. I'm just not at all satisfied with my reaction, because the positive reviews on this thing are bursting with praise, but I still just can't see it on the screen.

I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in IMAX yesterday. I haven't seen that movie all the way though in a while and never at all on the big screen so it was pretty neat. It's playing for one week only in IMAX if you're interested in checking it out. It seems like quite a few theaters are showing it so there's probably one near you.

Lately I've been looking to check out some of my favorites on the big screen and Raiders was a cool way to kick that off. Lawrence of Arabia is next on my list. It's going to be in a bunch of theaters October 4th for its 50th anniversary and I'm pretty excited about it.
