Arthur Christmas

I love the trailers for Arthur Christmas, link 1 & link 2! "Look, a polar bear... in a hat!" LOL! Amazing, James McAvoy as Arthur, Hugh Laurie as Arthur's older brother Steve, Bill Nighy (who played James McAvoy's father in State of Play) as Grandsanta...! It'll be HILARIOUS!

Which reminds me I still have to watch Gnomeo and Juliet, just for James McAvoy voicing Gnomeo! \o/

On the RL front, I dislocated my shoulder this morning - don't ask - luckily, without thinking I popped it back in immediately (having had the very dubious pleasure of dislocating my knee three times, I knew what to do - don't wait, just do it!). Oh God, ouch! Now, my arm's sore from the shoulder down to the elbow - which is still better than the alternative, I guess *grumbles*

Book #48

"Tron: Betrayal" by Jai Nitz

3 stars out of 5

Artwork: Amazing. Very similar to the movie, it really felt like a different world! 5 stars.

Story: Kind of boring, to be honest. It took place between Tron and Tron: Legacy, it set up the second movie, it told us why Clu had decided to destroy the ISOs in the first places, yet... Yet it felt shallow, too much stuff cramped into 100+ pages. And honestly? After reading it, I found Clu more likable than Flynn because Flynn wanted it all - a company, a wife, a kid, a world of his own - and messed up everything. He was never there when he was needed and little by little, everybody lost their faith in him, until only Tron remained by his side. This comic book made me wonder if Flynn ever had it in him to be a leader or if he had always been an unrealistic dreamer for whose shortcomings everybody had to pay the price. 2 stars.
