Currently Coveting: April 2014 | Wish List

the raid steelbook 
L: The Raid is an action-packed foreign film that has some of the craziest fight scenes I have seen in a film. Picture DREDD but with martial arts. I stumbled across this steelbook on Ebay and I think it looks awesome, now I just have to find the coppers to get it.  

Away we go blu-ray

b: This is one of my favourites so I'd love to own it. It's such an uplifting, funny and heartfelt film. You should watch it right this second. Basically. You can see what we thought of it by clicking here: Away We Go film review. 

TRUE DETECTIVE POSTER

L: My brother has been raving about True Detective for quite some time now and it's of the TV series' I plan to catch up on this month. We actually featured it in our 10 TV Shows We Need To See post a while back. If it does turn out to be awesome, I might just end up getting this awesome signed and numbered print.

how to be an explorer of the world by keri smith 

B: If you follow my personal blog, Vivatramp, you'll have seen the fun that I've been having with Smith's Wreck This Journal. I'd quite like to expand my creative collection and I think this book looks like a really fun idea, especially for a little wanderlust-filled adventurer like myself!

guardians of the galaxy funko pop 

L: After watching and being amazed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I am now struggling to contain my excitement for Marvel's next installment this year namely Guardians of The Galaxy. I really can't wait to see how they tie the film in with the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as how the bizarre characters are portrayed. One of those characters I'm particularly looking forward to seeing is a Bradley Cooper voiced Rocket Raccoon, gloriously represented above as a Pop! Vinyl figure.  

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED BY KERI SMITH

B: I haven't heard anyone talk about this one but I think it looks quite fun as I love being creative and I also love to send little notes to people. Have you got it? Is it worthwhile?

10 Signs That We Are Addicted to TV Shows 1.0 | TV

1. 'Just one more episode' is our most used phrase, even if it's the early hours of the morning and we have responsibilities the next day.

2. Our Netflix subscription is our most important direct debit.

3. We enter a period of mourning when TV shows finally end...Dexter, in particular. 

4. Season premieres and finales are important dates on our yearly calendar. Hello, Game of Thrones!

5. We live in fear of season finale cliffhangers, especially the one awaiting us at the end of the latest series of The Walking Dead.

6. We can watch an entire season in a day or two...Luther, The Killing, The Office, 24, Dexter...you name it! 

7. Bee knows everything about the actors personal lives as well as their characters...even if Luke finds it a little creepy. 

8. We will do everything in our power to hide from spoilers, especially when it comes to Agents of Shield and its links to the latest Marvel films.

9. We will forever associate certain actors/actresses with their most beloved characters aka Nick Offerman will always be Ron Swanson and Rainn Wilson will always be Dwight Schrute.

10. We sometimes have to remind ourselves that the characters and tv series' are not real. Li'l Sebastian will always be real though...

Anything you'd like to add to this list? Are you addicted to TV shows too? Let us know in the comments below and we'll have a little nose. You can also tweet us at @tftcblog. We're probably off to watch some more TV...We'll see you on Wednesday!
