GI Joe doesn't really require sound. The plot ain't exactly interesting. It's just a run and gun film to sell toys. As long as you watch it, you don't have to listen to it.

I did start to watch it without sound. But it felt odd and annoyed me so I quit.

:lol:

Nice movie re-enactment there. Good plane sound effects.

The deadline is 7pm tomorrow so you still have time to watch a movie.

If you feel that was an act of indulgence (as opposed to just not bothering to go to the gym) then it is a Task Get!

It was as I'm very regular about those things, and that day was stressful so I decided the best way for me to relax would be to take a nice nap instead of working out.

I gave him his movie (linkage) and the means to play it by, he couldn't have done it without me.

I just completed Sigular, followed the link in Sirius' sig to his StarFox Assault review, I've never played the game so can't say if it's accurate or not though.

WEEK 7 TASKS SUMMARY

EASY (1 point each)
Indulge
Had a really good long lie-in and a great lazy day yesterday which involved laying on the sofa watching films and TV.

Sigular
Followed Dangerblades sig link to admire the lovely Rachel Riley:

Image
:wub:

Also Followed JiggerJay's twitter link in his sig and now follow him.



MEDIUM (3 points each)

Cinematic Gamble
Because I am poor I couldn't go to the cinema but took the other approach. Randomly picked a film (using Google image search, the word "Movie Poster" and a number generator). Film was G.I Joe: Rise of Cobra. Downloaded that (thanks to Irene's links) and watched it tonight. It was alright. 6/10 Views posted int he film topic.

Breakfast Club
Did this for the whole 7 Days:

Today for breakfast I had waffles.


And today I had a slice sandwich like I said I would.


Today's breakfast was a bowl of rice pudding.


Bacon roll today. It was lovely too. :wub:


Strawberry yoghurt and a banana today. Healthy breakfast for once.


Today I had weetabix. With lots of sugar.


That's seven days worth of breakfast and not a bowl of cereal in sight - which is what I usually have (if I have breakfast).





HARD (5 points each)

Give the Man an Oscar
I give you the 8th Wonder of the world: King Kong:


Bonus points or 3 bonus points for videoing your re-enactment

Before recording the re-enactment I treated my brother to an advanced screening - i.e. I made him watch me do my practice run. He told me to "get a life". I think he liked it. So that's another 3 Bonus points for "performing this enactment in front of at least 1 other person", right?


Stalker
Bonus for the use of Notebook but sadly dropped points by not getting her name.

Zenigame wrote:Stalker

Had to go into town this morning so armed myself with a notebook and pen with the aim of stalking someone. Victim got on the bus (nae petrol in my car) and sat in front of me (touching distance, not that I did). Blonde girl, early 20s. She got off the bus by the supermarket, since it was close to where I was going I got off then too. Followed her across the car park and into Morrisons. Where I followed her around - but without being noticed - up and down the aisles. I was pretending to look at my notebook as if it was a shopping list. Whole thing lasted for about 20 minutes. Followed her to the checkouts, she didn't have much but I went to the checkout 2 away from her - to pay for my milkshake - then follewed her outside. She headed off in a different direction to where I wanted to go so let her go free.

Didn't get her name. There goes 2 bonus points.

Quotes from my notebook:
1. Target located. black coat blonde hair early 20s mibs
2. got off bus at morrisons
3. in morrisons
4. milk
5. coffee
6. headin 2 checkouts
7. outside she's going the wrong way. bye



Not a bad week. Dropped a few points though. Hopefully got enough to remain in 3rd.

Indulge

Yum. 8-)

Sigular

Checked out Falseys gamercard above. Surprised to see him have so many achievements on Forza 3 due to the fact he seems to spend most his time in the editor. (Doing a fine job I may add)


Cinematic Gamble

I'm not sure if this will count or not, but basically I piled all the DVD's in my house up, knocked them over before picking one out with my eyes closed. The one I picked out was Knocked Up, which I had watched already two days previously. I watched it again. I really hope this counts.


Breakfast Club

Coco Pops, Those Big Coco Pops things, Frosties, Cornflakes, Rice Krispies, Honey Loops and my usual Cheerios. Bonus point get. 8-)

Give the Man an Oscar

Ran up the stairs in my house and did the whole Rocky thing at the top. No bonus points sadly.

Stalker

1. Walking the dog I spy my target, an old lady with white hair about 20 metres in front.
2. She crosses the road while I remain on the same side to avoid suspicion.
3. She pauses at the postbox while the dog relieves himself on a tree. Good boy.
4. I cross the road as she carries on moving, dog seems particularly interested in a nearby fencepost.
5. She's paused outside the shop reading the notice board, I pass within touching distance.
6. She goes into the shop and my work is done as I continue on.
