Christmas Eve! Yesterday I ventured back to uni to get out of this Summer subject that I had enrolled in. Stopped by the Lucky Coq for a beer and a pizza too and then headed to the city. Did a lot of walking around with no particular aim. I've been sitting around at home a lot lately, so it was good to get out and about. Also went to see Tom's band 'ATM 15' play at the Evelyn last night. It was a pretty fun gig. Stayed at Tom's place that night, woke up with a killer headache. Seems to feel better now. Also had dinner last night at some place on Brunswick St. The service was really bad, the waitress was quite aggressive at one point, effectively blaming me for a mistake that she'd made. Made things quite uncomfortable.

'Planet Terror' (2007) directed by Robert Rodriguez

I found this movie pretty boring. It's a weird one, because the whole thing is meant to be a pastiche of those 70s era d-grade horror films which is a cool idea in principle. In practice though, I didn't really get the point. It wasn't really funny at all and the violence was too cartoonish to be entertaining. It basically felt like a poorly executed episode of 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace', with all of the humour removed. Perhaps if the characters were a bit more interesting or likeable it would have worked better. The fake trailer at the start of the film for 'Machete' looked like a way better movie.
