So tonight I'm going to be installing Windows 10 on a virtual machine on my laptop! Once it's all done I'll do a post about where you can get and install it, and then as I get used to using it I'll update you all!

Hiiiii *waves*
Hey everyone, so I've been a little neglectful lately and I feel bad for that. I promise this will be rectified! I need to get back on top of watching TV and reading and then I'll be able to blog successfully again. I've recently started reading a couple of new comics, namely Rasputin and Rumble, both of which have had pretty good issue ones. When my first months worth of comics come through at the end of the month I'll also be getting a comic through called Graveyard Shift, about a vampire detective, which I am totally looking forward to.
I have recently been to see a couple of films that I can tell you about though!
The first one is the Oscar-nominated Birdman. Now maybe I am just not intelligent enough for this film, but I really didn't enjoy it. I mean the premise was cool and it was beautifully shot. Michael Keaton and Edward Norton acted really well, and even Emma Stone did an ok job, but I just did not enjoy the film at all! It was very slow and nothing really seemed to happen, it was almost like watching a documentary. I really was thoroughly disappointed, but like I said, maybe I was just too stupid! Have to be fair to the film though, it had a couple of pretty funny moments!
The second film I went to see was Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, and oh my god did I regret seeing that! It was jumpy and very "hide behind a pillow" scary, like seriously. I spent such an unholy amount of time cowering away from the screen watching that film. It's been a long time since a film scared me like that though so it was really nice in a way! I was just glad to get home and get a good night's sleep! Seriously, if you like jumpy, scary films like that I totally recommend you go and see it, and if you're thinking about seeing Birdman, see Woman in Black instead, trust me you'll thank me for it!
So, next month The Walking Dead returns from it's midseason break, and having seen the trailer I have to be honest I am looking forward to it, even if I haven't fully forgiven Kirkman for killing Beth! Also hopefully at some point in March The Following will be back on TV. That's a show I really love, so I will be happy to see it back, then it's Game of Thrones back in April (so much YAY) and Hannibal back in the summer. The wait for Hannibal is seriously killing me!
Sleepy Hollow is also back soon hopefully, and I've got a lot of catching up to do with Gotham, but I will get there and I will get up to date!
Right now I'm off to play with Windows 10, and there will be a post coming up about that soon too!
Until then. peace outt!

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!

A Brief Interlude
Good evening, fellow internetters, I trust you are well!
It has been a busy month for me, what with leaving Peavey and starting my new job, but it has been a thoroughly enjoyable month, full of fun times, and good TV. I'm a little behind on my film and book clubs, but don't worry I'll be back on top of things soon!
I've realised that I've not yet done a Winter LFCC post, and I am a little disappointed in myself on that one! So, here is a really quick recap of Winter London Film and Comic Con, which was in fact a month ago now!
The convention itself was pretty quiet, the massive crowds from July were a distant memory. I mean it was so quiet me and my friend Darren managed to get in without queuing, and get all autographs and photos before lunch. The only photo we didn't get was before lunch was my photo with Owen Teale, because his shoot was scheduled for later in the afternoon, which was totally fine with me because it gave us time to nip out get lunch and then walk round the exhibit for a couple of hours. Plus we got to sit in on the game of thrones talk!
Generally it was a really awesome day, and I enjoyed it a whole lot more than I enjoyed the July LFCC, but maybe that's because I was working in July. To be honest I plan on doing them both again next year anyway!
The next convention on my list is Collectormania in Milton Keynes on October 15th, very excited for that one, I can add Kerry Ingram to my collection of Game of Thrones autographs which will be pretty cool, and I might even get myself Chris Barrie's autograph.
Anyway, that's me off for this evening, I will get back on top of blogging regularly soon I promise! Night folks!
