By Grabthar's Hammer... what savings

Got an email from Amazon grovelling about the fact that they didn't get enough stock to fulfil all their pre-orders of The Getaway. As the order also has some Christmas presents on, I cant wait for them to get it in stock, so had to cancel that - which then took the order below the £39 threshold for free delivery, so I added a copy of Peter Jackson's Braindead - an early effort from the director of the LotR movies which is possibly the most ridiculous gore-fest of all time and extremely sick fun. On the plus side, Amazon did give me a £5 voucher for my trouble, so all's well that ends well.

Coming back to the subject, I watched Galaxy Quest to cheer me up - a brilliant comedy which works on so many levels:
  1. A spoof of Star Trek
  2. A send up of the Star Trek actors and fandom
  3. As a great movie in it's own right
Feeling much happier now.

P.S. The spell-checker wanted to change 'fest' to 'feast'. Ewww...

Next time we colocate, I suspect that viewing of Galaxy Quest may be on the agenda, for that is something I have always (*) wanted to see and never got round to doing. By the same token, Braindead will be off the agenda. :-)

(*) for some suitably restricted version of "always"
Sounds like a plan, but are you sure you don't want to see the horde-of-zombies vs lawnmower scene?
</evil>
Quite sure, Mr. Tarrant, and that is my final answer.
