Just saw the trailer for World War Z and I'm quite disappointed in that, while it looks like a good action movie, it doesn't look remotely like World War Z. That books wasn't a thriller or a suspense; it was purely slow-burning horror as you read about the psychological ravages of a revolution of the undead on the survivors. The three parts that particularly haunted me were:

1. The boat radio operator talking about his job monitoring radio broadcasts from around the world, "the last broadcast from Buenos Aires with that woman singing that old lullaby", and how all of his coworkers committed suicide after long enough listening to people's last desperate pleas for help.

2. The girl talking about all the city-dwellers who fled above the snowline completely underprepared, how they turned on each other and were eventually forced to resort to cannibalism.

3. The diver freaking out about zombies still walking around on the sea bed a decade after the apocalypse, raving about how corrosive sea water is and how they should all be dust by now. This bit's particularly clever because it points out the biological impossibilities of zombies and the reason the man is mentally breaking down is because they're completely beyond his understanding. It's completely impossible for them to still be walking around down there, but they are.

All of that stuff is really not action-movie stuff. It's wonderfully horrific stuff, but it's not action.

So while World War Z looks like a decent action flick, I'm just terribly disappointed that I'm going to have to keep waiting for a movie of World War Z.

it looked pretty meh - something about zombies using each other as human ladders seemed weird.

I'll still prob watch it because zombies.

Saw a Lego-Hobbit memory game thing in a shop today and noticed that they appear to have flubbed the dwarves for the movie. Fili and Kili are twins, both of whom have BLOND hair. The box showed the two of them, plus Dwalin and Gandalf (pretty random selection). I don't remember which was which, but either Fili or Kili was shown with BLACK hair, while the other had blond. Um... ERROR!!
Which kinda makes me wonder if I actually want to go see the movie or not....

... Bel and I broke up (we're still married though 8D) We had gotten so used to seeing each other every month so it was just hard to keep it going since we haven't met since April ^^' .. Stupid move

I was kinda surprised to see running zombies. IIRC, the ones in the book mostly crawled or shambled. I suppose runners are more intense, but again, they just need to take the title World War Z off of it because this isn't a movie of World War Z.

Looking at the trailer, it rather seems to be blond & dark blond / bright brown. Most certainly not black, though. Also, they aren't twins, only brothers:

Although Chapter 8 of The Hobbit describes Fíli as the youngest, in Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings his birthyear is given as T.A. 2859, whereas Kíli's is 2864.

Ah, that sucks. I'm at least glad to see that the two of you are still on good terms with each other.

I'm dealing with that right now too. A hot water bottle and painkillers make everything in the world better <3

I've been stuck in the bathroom all week, mostly because it's the one room in the house with no windows so I can block out all the light. Migraines suck. I also usually don't get them this bad, let alone for this long. Add in the snow today... Usually I go visit friends on Saturday, but the snow threw that idea right out the window.

Had the worst day yesterday which all started with a power failure around noon. By the end of it I just wanted to strangle someone...anyone.
Luckily I had a somewhat good nights sleep which made me feel better. ^^'

Because a train had made a switch(?) break we were one and a half hour late to our end destination. And since they were supposed to work on the electricity I had to connect the train to a stationary post so it would keep warm (if not the watertanks will freeze and that is not a good idea) but as I got to know when I got there the plug in that town doesn't fit our trains. Nice that no-one ever told me about that. So I had to drive the train away to a different place so that it would have electricity. When I finally got to the hotel it was 00:30 and when I wanted to book a taxi for the morning they had none between 06:00 and 08:00 (I needed one around 06:30-07:00) so I got one at 05:50. Not to mention that I was cold from having to walk in knee-deep snow for like 300 metres making falling asleep very hard. And in the morning I again had to walk through snow. And on the way home the system crashed once. The one who manages the switches forgot our train twice (it does often run on a automatic system so forgetting once is kinda understandable) and she also called me once to ask me to stop as quickly as possible as she had put us on the wrong track. And since I couldn't stop fast enough I had to go out and change the switch manually so more walking in snow. Thankfully most of that walk was in a tunnel so not that much snow.
