Excalibur!
King Arthur and the Knights of the round table... or not. The movie King Arthur is a new take on the legend of King Arthur and his Knights, supposedly the newly discovered "true" story. Set back hundreds of years before the previous ones. Interestingly enough, it wasn't a bad movie. Can't wait for the uncut DVD version, with the extra battle scenes heh. Keira Knightley as Guinevere - well, er that was a sight. And whatever happened to Merlin? The end battle scene with Tristan (the dude with the eagle), intentionally or not, reminded me of Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai (which I haven't seen, just thru the trailers), from his battle gear to the facial hair and expressions... and his whole look including sword was more of an oriental soldier than a knight of the roman(british) empire. Or maybe it was just me.

To watch list: King Arthur, The Bourne Supremacy - time to read it now. Finished Bourne Identity which I think I read previously.. last half of it I remember reading just not sure when... damn this short/mid/long term memory loss!

I, Sugar High
Watched I, Robot this morning, which is based on the Isaac Asimov's series of novels on a robotic future and the 3 laws of robotics. Set in Chicago in the year 2035, which is only 30 years from now is so not a realistic environment, IMO, as I doubt that 30 years from now we'd be driving Audis that drive themselves, automatic parking, robotic demolitions etc.... aaaanyway. besides all that, the movie as a whole is interesting... jam packed with action amongst all the bias for/against robots. Although it was quite disappointing (for the guys anyway..) to have seen Will Smith in all his glory in the first 5 minutes, and us guys left with a frosted shower door of Bridget Moynahan in the last half of the movie... now where is the justice in that?! Probably have to stick to the cowgirl scene in Coyote Ugly... or The Recruit....

There is this new store open in Westfield Miranda which is a haven for sweet tooths called Sugar Fix. Hot damn there was so many people.. and I don't think I'd wanna go there too often. Although its quite tempting to (maybe after my next dental checkup mmmmm) Stocked with so much golden oldies that I grew up with as a child.. jawbreakers (those everlasting gobstoppers), pez, sherberts, jelly bellies, zours, kinder surprises, giant lollypops, turkish delights, all kinds of chocolates and lollies and a whole lot more. I was being considerate and only bought myself one of them sherbert straws which I haven't had since year 5 or 6.. Saving it for work tomorrow to keep me awake. Heehee. :DD

I saw one of these guys at Milsons Point station going to work on Thursday morning. Originally, I thought it must've been a sales person from iriver with his bright red iriver bag and iriver plastered book/folder. Until now. Incidentally, if he had got on the train I was gonna ask him if I could have one of those bags. Too bad he didn't get on and do his thing. Would've liked to see how he marketed the products, with so much competition in the digital music player market, with the ipod generation 4, ipod mini, iriver, creative, nimrod and so forth..

One of my friends pointed me out to one of these FM transmitter gadgets that you can plug into any headphone socket of a media player or laptop and have it tune into your radio at any open frequency and play it through your speakers. Pretty nifty, just plug and play in your car without a need for a cigarette or cassette adapter thingymajig. Think this will go on my wishlist.

To watch list: King Arthur, The Bourne Supremacy

Off The Heaazy
I haven't blogged for so long since I have nothing much to blog about or motivated enough to blog about anything.
Really. My life's been the same ol' self.. I did have a post about my trip but never got around to finishing it so I gave up.

I'm here at work and deciding to blog by email. Go figure. Only cos I just read this article. The season final of 24 screened Monday night and I thought it would almost be the end of the series.
Guess not.

Jack Bauer will be feeling lonesome when the next season of 24 premiers in
January, reports MSN.com.

While Kiefer Sutherland will be back, obviously, high-profile stars Elisha
Cuthbert (Jack's daughter Kim ) and Dennis Haysbert (President David Palmer)
won't be returning.

Others leaving include Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle Dessler), who's taking her
crime-fighting skills to CSI, James Badge Dale (Chase Edmunds) and Carlos
Bernard (Tony Almeida).

One who stays is Geoff Pierson, whose Senator John Keeler gets promoted to
US President.

They finally get rid of Kim, so now she doesn't have to be put into these stupid high drama, rescue situations.
And I just wonder what kind of terrorist plot they can come up with next.
Interesting to see Reiko is joining CSI. Maybe to replace Jorja Fox and George Eads who were fired... I'm still waiting out for CSI: New York with Gillian Anderson if that ever takes place.

Whilst on the news of Kiefer Sutherland, there are also reports of him in New Zealand joining some strippers on stage. That's something I don't ever need to see...
