GREETINGS FROM AIRSHIP GLITZVILLE!
The splendiferous exciting adventures and inane ramblings of KT Glitz and his beautiful wife Toni Glitz. There will also be garbage talked about music, movies and Star Wars, a LOT of Star Wars!
If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning!
Never forget your dreams, they are the hopes of the future!
Gah, that was a day I am happy to put behind me. I woke up at 04:50 and then couldn't get back to sleep again but did at least catch on some podcasts. Work was absolute chaos and a bit if a shiftest. It was nothing but stress and hassle. At least it ended with a semblance of being under control again! Roll on tomorrow!
Musical accompaniment today was Hanoi Rocks and Michael Monroe.
November countdown movie for today was Pirates Of The Caribbean: Slazar's Revenge (or Dead Men Tell No Tales depending where you are watching it).
We finished the night iff with another couple of episodes of Tattoo Rescue.
Another good working day today. Lots of things accomplished and a whole lot of potential stress brewing but I am bracing myself for that one when/if it comes. Hoping that this won't be as bad as I fear.
Musical backdrop to work today was provided by the new AC/DC album Power Up and the collected works of Brazilian thrash metallers Nervosa.
Tonights November movie was Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End
We finished the night off with a cuppa and Tattoo Rescue.
All too quickly the long weekend was over and it was back to the working life again. The week started well so that's a good thing!
Tonight's movie was Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Hot drinks and chill saw out the reset of the day We've just discovered a new Tattoo programme called Tattoo Rescue that runs very mich like Kitchen Nightmares but tattoo shops are being rescued rather than restaurants. It's a shame it was only one season that they made.
I haven't been particularly active of late so decided to start doing more in the garage gym. I started out this morning with a 5km cycle. I managed that but was feeling quite tired afterwards. This was not good as normally I would do a session on the bike, some weights and then another session on the bike. It's amazing how quickly muscle atrophy can set in so it looks like I have some work to do over the next few days/weeks to get bit fitter!
As nobody else was up I chilled out with a Louis Theroux documentary which saw him return to Westboro Baptist church after the death of Fred 'Gramps' Phelps. It was good to see that some of the family members have now managed to get out but sad to see that some are still tied in with these toxic religious nuts.
When everybody was awake we made breakfast and checked out the new Spitting Image series. Have to admit it was a bit hit and miss. There were some good gags int here but it did seem to suffer from some very lazy writings. Two episodes in and we remained to be convinced, we'll probably watch a couple more to see if it does improve at all. We dug out the DVD of the original Spitting Image series to remind ourselves how good it used to be.
Now that the Halloween countdown is over we have constructed playlists for November, December and January! Talk about planning! LOL
After I had put the dinner on we watched a bit of Four In A Bed for shits and giggles!
The November countdown started tonight with Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. We are doing franchises in November (with one exception that will be revealed on the day) so we are kicking off in Pirates mode!
It was cinema day for us today as we headed for Cineworld in Bexleyheath for a double viewing.
First on the menu was King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. I didn't hold out much hope for this as some of the reviews had been quite brutal. My fears were unnecessary though. I thought the film was brilliant. It was classic Guy Ritchie, a blend of Sherlock Holmes and God Of War. This is definitely how to make a fantasy film. There were some nice twists on the myth and plenty of bits of humour. The whole film looked wonderful and had a great soundtrack and it makes you wonder whether the critics actually watched the whole film at all. For me this is one where the critics completely got it wrong and probably missed lots of things that actually make the film great. I'd recommend it most highly.
Here's the trailer for those of you that haven't seen it:
Next up was Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge (renamed form Dead Men Tell No Tales). Here we had another film where the critics had not been kind and we wondered what they had watched. This was a much needed return to form for the Pirates franchise with lots of hooks back into the things that made it great in the first place. The story was solid and the sets, costumes and effects were stunning. Johnny Depp once again nails it as Captain Jack Sparrow. Stick around for the clip at the end of the credits, it's worth it!
Trailer time:
Two fantastic films that I would recommend to anyone.
