I’m loving all the new Windows 7 info

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I’m loving all the new Windows 7 info- This week, the 2008 coverage of Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference has been geek heaven for me.  I’ve been reading Paul Thurrott‘s excellent Windows 7 Preview series regularly, waiting in anticipation for each new instalment.  Really interesting stuff.

My films ’08/’09 update

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

(This was just going to cover 2008 as a followup post, but then I realised Watchmen would not be releasing till 2009.  Oops)

Let’s start with my previous list:

The Happening
I just didn’t bother with this one.  Nothing much to say really!

Wanted
Really cool film.  Plenty of action and a reasonable twist towards the end.

Hancock
I didn’t have time to see this one, thought it’s on my wish list for getting it on DVD.

The Dark Knight
This was worth the wait and then some.  Possibly a bit too long, but dripping with amazingness(?!)

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Like ‘The Happening’, I just didn’t bother.  That, and most critics panned it.  Might get round to seeing it eventually though.

More films I want to see this year:

Quantum of Solace
Out: 31/10/2008
Anticipation factor: 5/5
Comment: I’m really looking forward to this one.  This new style is Bond how it should be.

Watchmen
Out: 06/03/2009
Anticipation factor: 3.5/5
Comment: I really don’t know what to expect from this film, but I’m intrigued by it.  Not your average superhero film, that’s for sure.

Ok, so this post turned out poorer than I could possibly have imagined.  But an update is an update I suppose.  Till next time!

New Paramore song to debut on ‘Twilight’ soundtrack

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

As an avid Paramore fan, I’m obviously going to be interested when I hear about new material.  I was happening to browse Paramore’s Official site and I came across a post about their next single.

It’s going to be called ‘Decode’, and will debut on the movie soundtrack for the upcoming 2008 film- Twilight.  Apparently the film is based on a novel which admittedly I don’t recall ever hearing of, oh well.  It’s also mentioned the single will be available everywhere November 4th which is good.  I will, of course be buying this beauty on CD when it comes out, assuming it’s any good.  But this is Paramore we’re on about, of course it’ll be good.

More Paramore news/info as and when it happens.
