Fast and Furious

I'm not sure if I'll get to see the movie in a cinema but after reading kelly_girl's reaction post, I will be definitely buying the DVD. Like OMG! \o/

Fast and Furious - again!

So, I did go to the cinema and saw the movie and OMG, IT WAS SO SO SO GOOD! \o/ The best movie in the franchise yet, hands down!

( My completely incoherent spoilery squeeings! )

Thumbs up and all. I will be definitely buying this one on DVD!

James Swallow's "Nightfall", #35

It's really hard for me to somehow rate this book. You see, on the one hand, it was really good - the plot was quite intriguing and well plotted - on the other hand, quite often I asked myself if the author had even seen SGA. Why? Well...

( Some spoilers ahead, be warned! )

I think that Swallow would benefit from either having a co-author or a better editor.

To sum it up? My least favorite SGA book so far. I won't be re-reading it any time soon, that's for sure.

Oh, wow! Erm, yes, Fast and Furious - again! XP

Box Office Report: Fast & Furious shatters records with $72.5 mil weekend:

In the first truly shocking box office result of the year, Fast & Furious sped away from expectations to gross a humongous $72.5 mil, according to early estimates from Media by Numbers. That result is effectively double what most industry observers had predicted for the debut of the fourth feature in Vin Diesel's car franchise, and it left in the dust a number of notable records:

* Best April opening ever, beating Anger Management's $42.2 mil
* Best Universal Pictures opening ever (three-day), beating The Lost World: Jurassic Park's $72.1 mil
* Best F&F franchise opening ever, beating 2 Fast 2 Furious' $50.5 mil
* Best opening yet in 2009, easily beating the bows of the more-buzzed-about Monsters vs. Aliens ($59.3 mil) and Watchmen ($55.2 mil)
* Best opening ever for stars Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster, as well as for director Justin Lin

ETA: Overseas, Fast and Furious grossed $30.1 million, bringing its estimated worldwide haul to $102.6 million, Universal said.

Oh, wow! Maybe there's a hope for a 5th movie, then? *crosses fingers*
