An impromptu Hearthstone Happy Hour! The Witchwood is here!

Lord of Leisure Posted on April 13, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureApril 13, 2018

Completely at random, and with a little productive from the Hearthstone Twitter account, I came on and mess around with opening packs and then playing a completely random Tavern Brawl before I went to beddy-weddy for a snoozy-woozy. Christ I need to start drinking…..

As usual, this is the unedited livestreaming silliness so you may need to skip forward at times…. The video can be viewed here also directly if the above doesn’t work; https://youtu.be/K4rPt94oWtE

The Void: A Star Wars VR Thingy

Lord of Leisure Posted on April 12, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureApril 12, 2018

Hello again dear campers, and it’s time for the long overdue meh about The latest craze that was doing the rounds in key locations around the world; The Void, a VR experience where you wander around cardboard rooms and somehow end up having shall we say an interesting time of things considering your arms etc get rendered into VR as well. But this adventure was something even I couldn’t resist…..

In time for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Secrets of the Empire brought us into the expeirence of pew pewing around as rebel scum at the Empire’s secret lava base (Rented from Dr. Evil) but what will we uncover? And did it make me sick like most VR things used to?

We’ve moved!

Lord of Leisure Posted on April 3, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureApril 3, 2018

It’s finally over but now all content is coming from a brand new server with bits fixed, renewed and other random complicated rubbish! Ooh Sometimes will be changing over fully to being the real home of the Lord of Leisure (of which we have the domains for!) and of course that will be reflected soon in a change of layout etc as well.

I feel it has to be said simply because on first glance it still looks the bloody same! Well all the techincal gubbons took ages to do, so then the new pretty thing will come afterwards. Patience you wee scamps!

Pacific Rim Uprising Aftermath

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 31, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 31, 2018

Another day, another outing to the cinema, this time to enjoy big robots fighting other big robots and then then big monsters with some other shit thrown in. Will the Sequel starring John Boyega make me rise out of my seat with a fuck yeah and other woo noises? Or will Pacific Rim Uprising make me lead an uprising of my own against the production team? Only one way to find out….

Blockers Aftermath

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 31, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 31, 2018

Bloody hell, what could I possibly be doing watching a film like Blockers? Me, a sophisticated Lord of Leisure preferring to watch a film about three parents trying to stop their daughters having naughty on their prom night. Starring Leslie Mann and a rather hilarious John Cena, would I actually have the perfect night of my life or would the film block me from good times also? Watch on to find out!

A mini meh about…. Red Sparrow

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 23, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureApril 1, 2018

Your eyes are now burned with this image. You can’t unsee it. Counselling is available elsewhere…..

It’s actually been a long time since I waddled down to one of the London multiplexes to watch a preview of the film you’re about to read about. It was actually a day before general release come to think of it. It was a lovely evening out in town, a lot people wandering the brightly lit shopping centre. They were chatting, laughing, eating, and going about their business and all was well.

But why would I be writing about everyday life here? Well, this is one of those times that I actually struggled with what to write about when it comes to a mini meh. It gets worse to say that this was one of the few films where I’ve been openly bored by what happened on screen where I was supposed to be seduced and shocked.

In fact there were times that my mind wandered to think of what to eat for dinner, and if this would be a most excellent joke to play on the film with the news at the time where Conservative Party MPs were calling out the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn being called a Czech spy / double agent or something. It was debunked of course but that didn’t stop me wanting to add him to the film title image;

Even sexier, you must agree…..

Today as I sat down to write this review, the news about Donald Trump / Drumpf’s unwillingness to tackle either re-elected (fair and square…..cough) leader Vladimir Putin or Stormy Daniels, the porn star whose lawyer has basically played a blinder on the US networks.

In the face of so much evidence that Russia wants to destabilise the world mainly due to god knows what reasoning, and given the sex scandals Trump / Drumpf has been embroiled in, it also occurred to me that he would also fit into the Red Sparrow Poster, though of course, it’s much more disturbing to say the least!

They already have his sexual performance on a pee pee tape….. allegedly.

All this time though, I’ve avoided even going into what Red Sparrow is. It’s been really difficult actually to remark any a lot of it without sounding like just another internet troll. Red Sparrow is a spy “thriller” starring Jennifer Lawrence as an innocent Russian girl Dominika Egorova who lives at home, helping her sick mother.

But what’s this? She is being pulled by her dodgy as f*ck uncle (Matthias Schoenaerts) into the Russian Secret Sex Service. How? Well, why not get raped by a politician who they then kill in front of her, ensuring that she either joins the Secret Sex Spy Service or die because she was a witness to the politician’s death. Seems fair doesn’t it? Continue reading →

A mini meh about….. Ready Player One

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 19, 2018 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 19, 2018

The future is blue, not orange….. And possibly has the Facehugger eggs from Alien.

There were moments during Ready Player One, that I felt tension, suspense. Some laughing, and certainly some annoyance. Just it was against an old man one row back from me who insisted on snoring loudly at various points of the screening. It was a real damn annoyance, as now the Review Embargo is lifted as per the conditions of the screening, it’s time to reveal more about Ready Player One, and whether or not it’s game over yet again for hopes of another video games based nostalgia trip into Ernest Cline’s world of pop culture references in a virtual world.

Steven Spielberg has worked with the author to bring Ready Player One to the big screen, which in no small part is a hell of a challenge. If you’e read the book, or listened to Will Wheaton’s narration of said book, then you know there are times where it goes into massive amounts of detail about some of the computer games, systems, films and other 80s references. Try doing that in the cinema, and people will die of boredom. So the creative team pretty much simplified and redone a huge amount of the story for the cinematic release. It had to be done, and it worked quite well really as a result. So even those who read the book, will not see everything that’s coming.

In this version of Ready Player One, we still have our “hero / nerd” Wade Watts, played by Tye Sheridan (though like with a lot of the actors in this, I really had to look them up as who they were). He lives in an overpopulated caravan park called the Stacks, where life is pretty shit. This gave rise to the fact that everyone instead lived their lives more in a virtual world called “The Oasis”. A place where you can be whatever you want, as long as you can pay for it. Turns out though, the bloke who created the Oasis, James Holiday (yes I know it’s spelt differently) is dead and in essence created a challenge of which the prize would be complete control of the Oasis and a ton of cash.
