Have accidentally spent all day playing Stardew Valley instead of doing Big Write marking! I am now watching River Cottage as it's really put me in the mood :) I have chickens called Buck, Buuck and Bugurk, which pleases me very much.

We went to see Logan last night and it was really an amazing film. It reminded me of a really good piece of fan fiction in that it spent zero time introducing the characters or the world, just really focused on the character story it wanted to tell and what it would be like if this crazy premise was actually happening to real people. It's something that Iron Man has toyed with (Tony's PTSD) but not really committed to. I actually cried a couple of times and I'd thoroughly recommend it but it's definitely not a light hearted night out.

Looking at the BBC list of franchise films for this summer certainly provided me with a surprise or two. Oceans 13 I don't know about - I loved the first one but the second was rather rubbish. Still, could be good. The Bourne franchise was the same - started well and tailed off, although not so dramatically as Oceans. Still the idea of a Bourne thriller written by Tom Stoppard is so intriguing that I may well have to check it out! I suspect that I will end up seeing PotC3 and Spiderman 3 as part of groups of people but I wouldn't get around to them on my own - on the other hand, PotC3 may at least generate some good Kermode rants :)
