It's been a long time... So...Intolerable Cruelty then. Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was the mildest, most accessible, and least offbeat film the Coens have...

"Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!" Finally, Baldur's Gate II is finished. Right, Icewind Dale is next! (As you can see, normal non-geeky service has yet to be resumed)...

"...to this end, they have relentlessly pursued them across the galaxy from planet Cybertron to planet Earth and back again..." A bit of a geeky post this, as I've found a...

Dancing Sheep And Blood Cults...And A Quiz! Many thanks to Kev, who pointed out the wonders of Annabelle the Sheep. If you have RealOne Player, put a CD in or load up an MP3,...

Twisted Nerve Why did everyone apparently underorder the Kill Bill soundtrack? I mean, Tarantino movies usually have stonking soundtracks (and this is the best one yet, I...

Long Time No See... So, I had something which probably wasn't the flu, but certainly did knock me out for three days, so maybe it was a >little< flu. Then we went down to...
-
A Plague Upon Both Your Houses...Or Just Mine I was a sickly child. I always seemed to have a cold, and I've pretty much always been a weed. That said, I shook off the...

This is a call... I need your help, blog-fans! I'm after the book on the left, Out Of The Pit. It's a sort of companion piece to those choose-your-own-adventure books of the...

Aiee! My Bleeding Ears! (or Eliminate William) One growing trend in cinema that I'm not enjoying is this idea that films need to be really, really loud. It started with xXx, a...

New Arrivals And Missed Opportunities A while ago, Cap'n Black asked me what it's like out here in Minnesota. I've not forgotten, Dan, but I need to think about it some more. I...

The Case Of The Missing Plot: Smallville and Angel Okay, so that wasn't it. Smallville angered me today. I'm growing quite fond of the show, even though it concerns Superman,...
-
But first, the news... Here's an excellent article comparing American politics to a soap opera. Compelling stuff, although I do think the writer is being a bit harsh on...

"Oh My GOD!" I slept for a grand total of three hours last night. I'm a little spaced out this morning, but strangely, not too tired. Excellent news for fans of quality...

What the heck is HE doing in my comics? Geoff Johns may be a wonderful writer of all things JSA and Flash, but his Avengers run has been diabolical. Inconsistent...
-
The Great Desktop Mascot War...Part II I didn't get any points awarded to me, which is very sad. Was it because I didn't have a picture? Well, what a camera cannot provide, let...

West Wing: The Next Generation You know how Star Trek: The Next Generation would do those issue-based episodes, where they'd build up a really tricky and meaty moral question,...
-
The Great Desktop Mascot War Over at biLly's blog, you can see the opening salvoes of this one-upmanship in the field of desktop mascots/toys. Unfortunately, we don't have a...

"Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot..." I hate drawing Batman. I can't get him right. Or rather, I can't get him to not look absurd. I think something snaps in my...

Be the next M. Night Shyamalan! Here's a new game. Imagine a film, any film. Now imagine the last shot in that film in which you can see a person's eyes. Now imagine those eyes...

"Oh, you like to draw? Well can you do this for me..." Now that the comic page (page fourteen) for Spooky's Dungeon has been done, I'm reminded that I have a stack of requests...

Happy birthday today to Kevin Sorbo. (It's a long, and not very good, story) I've really got to get this page for Spooky done today, then I have one of my favourite films ever...

"Are you a Mexican, or a Mexican't?" Meg and I went out for dinner and a movie tonight ("Hey, that sounds like a date! You're married now, you don't have to go on dates,...

Remember China Drum? No? Can't say I blame you, but they really did do a marvelous cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Rock, and indeed, on! I've just spent a long evening...

Dormammu Is Mad! That one's for Tom.

Ten weeks it's been out, and Pirates Of The Caribbean is still in the top five at the box office! Deserves it too. I'm looking forward to seeing El Mariachi 3/Desperado 2/Once...

Meg's been very ill this weekend, which has led to me not blogging as often as usual, and has also thrown my sleep patterns out of whack. but at least I've got a decent book to...
-
Thousands of characters, hundreds of storylines, and what is DC's response to Marvel's movie success? Another Batman movie. So, what's that? Five Batman movies, plus this new...
-
Ha! I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Okay. I have $33-30 of vouchers left for Barnes and Noble. What do you folks suggest I spend the vouchers on?
-
Over at Tom's blog, he discusses a previous birthday of mine, the state of current rap, how rubbish The Darkness are (a growing sentiment it would appear), and quite possibly...
