Stupid stats, Crisis On Infinite Earths and Messiah

I had a half day today. The morning was spent working from home up to my eyeballs in stats going back to 2016 pulled for some pointless management review. I'm sure they'll find something meaningful in there.....

There was lunch and then I had the afternoon off.

The early part of the afternoon I accompanied Toni to the hospital to attend a review with her consultant following her procedure in December. The good news is that what they took out was nothing to worry about and the other good news is that they can now look at doing the actual procedure that she was supposed to have. We hope this will be in a couple of months.

The rest of the afternoon was spent watching the first three episodes of the DC crossover series Crisis On Infinite Earths.

This consisted of episodes of Supergirl, Batwoman and The Flash. Lots of wonderful guest cameos throughout these episodes and a who's who of all the DC TV series that are currently running. This is their best crossover event so far and I can't wait to see how it all pans out when Arrow and Legends Of Tomorrow are broadcast next week.

We finished the evening off watching the first few episodes of Netflix's series called Messiah.


The series focuses on the modern world's reaction to a man, who first appears in the Middle East claiming to be the eschatological return of 'Isa (Jesus). His sudden appearance and apparent miracles spark a growing international following, casting doubts around who he really is, a case investigated by a CIA officer.

The first episodes were good and I hope the story unfolds in a way that it lives up to its promise,

Shite day, Wonder Woman and new trailers

It was a bit of a shite day today. Sometimes I wonder why people seem to be so averse to accepting sensible suggestions to improve processes to make everything easier all round. Perhaps they just don't like change, who knows? I did end up going home wondering why I even bother some times when it can all fall on deaf ears. Ho hum! Still, enough of that maudlin crap, there are more fun things to talk about!

Recently revealed at San Diego Comic Con was how Gal Gadot is going to look as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice movie. Although I am a sucker for the old Lynda Carter style outfits I am liking this. It has a modern edge and she looks really tough.

Lots of new trailers have been dropping through of late which is getting me quite excited about some upcoming releases.

FOX have just dropped their latest Gotham TV series trailer which is due to premier on September 22nd:


Sin City 2. I've already waxed lyrical about this film in a previous blog so here's the latest trailer:


Mad Max: Fury Road. The trailer looks good and hopefully this is a chance for the Mad Max franchise to redeem itself after the truly awful Beyond Thunderdome. It looks gritty, it looks bleak. There is action! Bring it on!


Another new TV series coming up is Constantine. Matt Ryan stars as John Constantine, an irreverent, working-class con man and occult expert waging war against the forces of darkness — from both within himself and the outside world. This is another DC release and is based on the comic Hellblazer. For those that remember that far back Keanu Reeves played the role of Constantine in the 2005 movie of the same name. This is a fresh start for the title....


...and here's some more Star Wars humour with a piss take of MTV Cribs.


The evening was spent catching up on True Blood and The Strain so we were having a pseudo horror fest. I have tomorrow off and some fun things planned with Sam and Aaron so that should be good!
