Here’s a brief roundup of some of the stuff that I came to my attention this past weekend (mostly cinema-related but not always). Enjoy!
1) I am pretty hyped for the upcoming Bond flick, Skyfall
(Still don’t know who will win in a fight between he and Aaron Cross:
2) I was right about TDKR – as was proven by my somewhat skeptical brother 🙂
3) Director Danny Boyle has a very furtive imagination indeed (not that it ever was in doubt, really …)!
It’s the Shire!
4) I actually like a lot of Rolling Stones music (the old stuff of course).
5) It’s confirmed, there is an Alamo Drafthouse comin’ to my neck of the woods … yipee!
The Olympics opening was bizarre and brilliant!! Made me proud to be a Brit, for once!

It was rather trippy indeed! LOVED the musical bits. Britain in fine form. Makes me want to head back to the UK this fall!
Super hyped about Skyfall too, and that new TV spot looks good!

I think we are to expect another trailer soon, right?
I still do not like to get into the “was it better than The Dark Knight” debates, I understand how and why folks would do that. It’s only natural. But I will save that debate for another day. I will just say this: the movie delivered, period! It was dark (borderline morbid-which I have no problem with) and emotionally riveting at times (the interactions between Caine (Alfred) and Bale (Wayne) are classical stuff (although a friend of mine named “Coach” proclaims that they are eerily similar to the on-screen interactions between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting (at construction site). But I digress…I loved the film and will likely see it again.
I didnt see much of opening ceremony, I hate musicals 🙂 Skyfall and The Bourne Legacy are shaping up to be decent movies.

The ceremony was definitely a feast for the ears 🙂 Although some of the music played during the montages did get me a bit amped!
