Days of Future Past

[kingandy]

Been to town, bought DVDs for tonight.  The final selection features:

The Time Machine (the 1960s version - I don't know exactly what years it covers but it apparently includes a romp through the 20th century)
ROCKETSHIP X-M (generally bogus science)
Escape from New York (set in 1997)
Strangedays (1999)
TimeCop (2004)
Transformers: The Movie (2005)

And last but by no means least ... Flash Gordon (because Flash Gordon)

I almost bought Mad Max, but I had more than enough already, and it doesn't have a specific future date anyway (being set "A few years from now" - in fact I think it's one of the movies that started me thinking about how stupid it is to give your near-future movies an absolute date).  We probably have too many to get through, but we'll give it the old college try.

Well, that's wierd, 'cause I the email about the evening pub trip only went out on Friday, but you know, whatever.

we'd said we'd come out in the evening a few weeks back as weren't coming to karting. We still love you tho.

I know you do, honey. But I'll always be second best...

TJ reputedly has a higher propensity to violence. Compared to threat of a hug embargo...

[kingandy]

Yeah, and you know I wouldn't follow through anyway.
