Midnight Cinema Trips

So, on Thursday I took me a little jaunt to the cinema, for the midnight viewing of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Now, I really don't want to give away any spoilers, so all I'm going to say is wow. I almost wish I hadn't gone to see it at the exact time it came out, because  I really, really don't want to have to wait to watch it again and again and again. It was amazing. It looked beautiful. Peter Jackson's cinematography and the way he has created middle earth are just something totally and utterly amazing. I really. really loved every second of the 144 minute run time. And another thing that was really good about it.. It didn't feel like I was sitting there for over 2 hours. It really doesn't feel like a long film. It's amazing. That's really all I can say about it, everyone really needs to go and see it for themselves!
I took a little friend along with me to see the film. and he had a wonderful little adventure. Here are a few quick pics ;)

Nothing remotely interesting

To be 100% honest, I don't actually have anything interesting to blog about this evening, I really just wanted to share with everyone that I will be attending the midnight showing of the Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, at the Odeon in Kettering :D

The Walking Dead - A Topic In Need of Discussion

So, last night, in the UK, the mid-season finale of the Walking Dead aired. Now I was anticipating this episode for a whole week, hoping for an amazing episode filled with action and leaving me with  a big cliff hanger, making me want more. I was sorely disappointed.

My Monday got off to a slightly rubbish start, when I was scrolling through my news feed, like I do in the morning, I came across a walking dead post. From the official Walking dead Facebook page. And it was a massive, shiny, spoiler. A lovely image of Daryl, carrying Beth, with the caption RIP Beth. As you can imagine this put a massive dampener on my enthusiasm for the episode. Partly because it had been spoilt and partly because I really like Beth. But my thinking was I didn't actually know how the story would go down, so I would still have to watch what would undoubtedly be an action filled episode. And it wasn't. As a whole the episode was a massive let down. Yay the group is back together, and yay Michonne is back to her ass-kicking best. But other than that, nothing really interesting happened, until the last 5 minutes, when Beth meets her maker, and even that, as a scene, was a disappointment. I kind of feel like they've killed Beth off for the sake of killing a popular character, and if I'm honest, they straight up killed the wrong character. I think Beth actually had a lot more she could have bought to the series, especially with her relationship with Daryl, I was seriously holding out for that. That would have made me unbelievably happy, but alas, Kirkman and co had other plans. Hopefully they will be worth the loss of such a promising character, especially since they could have killed off someone annoying like Carol, I would not have been sorry to see Carol die! And I really hope there isn't going to be a Carol and Daryl love thing because I think I might have to stop watching. Carol should have died in the series where she does in the comics, way back in the prison. With any luck both her and Maggie will go mad and end up dead, and then we'll have badass Glenn back, as well as Daryl being a bad ass, because lets face it, he is going to go totally mental, almost like Rick did after Lori died. I'm really dubious about continuing this series now so they really had better make it worth it!
