Harry Brown. (no spoilers)

I didn't know much about the film apart from seeing posters around saying it was the best British film of the year and that Michael Caine was in it.

Michael Caine being in was the crucial part to me, not because I'm a particularly big fan of his (although I do think he is a very good actor these days), but because it rang a bell with me. About a year ago I went to a lecture by a screenwriter, it was the best lecture I've ever been too, informative, interesting and amusing. The gentleman mentioned that he'd just been on set of a film from a script he'd written and that Michael Caine was in it. Harry Brown is said film.

The start of the film is very British, I was rolling my eyes at the number of traps it fell into. But from about 15 mins in onwards, it is absolutely superb! Beautiful cinematography, great direction, understated yet excellent acting and a brilliant script! Having met the man that didn't suprise me at all!

"After tracking the Wraith fleet, the crew of Atlantis begin evacuations of a planet set to be culled by the Wraith. While transporting the people off the planet, the team's Jumper gets damaged, forcing them to remain on the planet's surface while the others on Atlantis have to fight the Wraith fleet."

On the return trip to Pegasus, Atlantis' systems begin to fail while the crew are afflicted with a mysterious illness that sends half the population into a coma. As the city continues to encounter problems, the patients get worse. Is there a connection? Can they figure out what is ailing the city before the life support system fails for the last time? Will they be able to bring the patients back from the brink before it's too late?

Snurched from various people :P

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

I struggled to come up with 20 (that is nearly one for every year of my life! :P) (and I'm not sure football would count, lol.)

1. Stargate Atlantis (Sheppard - Sidriel)
2. CSI: NY (Danny - San)
3. Third Watch
4. Home and Away
5. Sweet Valley High (books)
6. His Dark Materials (books)
7. X-Men (films)
8. Westlife
9. Supernatural (Dean - San)
10. NCIS (Tony - San)
11. Brothers and Sisters (Justin - San)
12. The Sarah Connor Chronicles (John Connor - Sidriel)
13. Friends (Chandler - Sidriel)
14. Star Trek Voyager (Tom Paris - YappiChick)

15. The only other one I can add is Christian Slater, but there’s not really much guessing involved there :P
16. Ooo, I could add Sean Bean, but that really my mum’s obsession passed on to me :P

New layout (thanks to xaddictionsx) and header! Oooooo!

With the IOA’s decision on the fate of Atlantis still undecided and a face from John’s past representing HomeWorld Security on Atlantis, a Wraith scouting vessel appears, complicating matters further. The crew of Atlantis decide it’s time to take matters into their own hands and fight for what they believe to be right.

"After the events of Enemy at the Gate the city of Atlantis remains in the San Francisco Bay, repairs to Atlantis and the Daedalus are under way while the future of Atlantis’ location is under debate. With the threat of more Wraith looming over them, and interference from the IOA, a discovery on Atlantis leads to some hope in the defence of Earth. Join Colonel Sheppard and his team as they strive to get Atlantis ready in time to protect the people of Earth."

I keep meaning to make art for other fandoms, but I don't get round to finding caps, when I do get round to it I find so many that it takes me ages to sort through them so I never get round to actually making anything from them...

So, challenge me! If you want anything making or just have a cap lying around send it to me and I'll make something from it :) Any fandom (within reason :P i.e. no Twilight or Dr Who :P)

I moved out of my student home on friday *sob* I'm really going to miss living in York! Luckily it's not too far away so I can easily go back and visit. So I'm back living at my parents, which I don't mind really, I get on well with my parents (most of the time :P) but I haven't been here for a few years knowing that I haven't got somewhere else to go :S

I got a call on friday from the temp agency I work for and they've found me a job starting on monday! It's just an admin job but it means I'll be earning some money while I'm sussing out what I want to do for the rest of my life and applying for perminant jobs etc. So today is my last day of freedom before I'm back into the daily grind of waiting for the weekend :P
