first person shooter

Watched Doom last night, inbetween Flash Forward and Edwardian Country House (which always gets me flabbergasted on just how deluded the upstairs lot are). Quite a good action film, but the sheer amount of backstory, setup and interesting and complex characters (I admittedly did go 'spotting the English actors... ooo, Ben Daniels?') made you feel that it really could've been longer. And sorry, gamers, but the Doom POV sequence made me giggle. Would've been better if that'd been an occasional shot interspersed throughout the film, not one chunk near the end.

I feel I'm sufficiently prepped for nano since this arrived in the post this morning.

It was very much 'stop film insert cgi sequence start film again after'.
Max Payne suffered the same way.

Also, good luck with the NANO :)

Somewhere on the intarwebz, there is a radio clip where Antonia, the kitchen maid, utterly lays into the father, who had been spouting fatuous stuff about how it all worked and how he felt like he was head of a big family.

I enjoyed Doom a lot more than I probably should have done, but then I’d played Doom 3 to the point of obsession beforehand: wonky backstory aside, the movie looks a lot like the game. And yes, the POV sequence is hysterically funny. I really hope it was supposed to be.

No Trites in the movie, though. There should have been Trites.

Nice shirt, by the way. It will act as a powerful totem for your writerly skills, focussing your will into potent acts of creation...
