.... or "How to Procrastinate and Not Finish Your Opus" So George RR Martin has taken his longest running property, Wild Cards, a series of books, comics and games, running since 1986, and has convinced Universal Cable Productions to put it out as a TV show. I've never read the series, or...

For the umpteenth summer in a row, the "big" US film season has been awash in sequels, remakes and Connected Universe films. Apart from Civil War it has mostly been a bust for me with most films either just hitting a passing grade, or outright failing. So it was with some trepidation that I...

On Sunday 22nd May Preacher will be unleashed upon TV after spending years in the wilderness trying to find a suitable media to convert it into. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's profane, hysterical, unapologetic and graphic comic series asks big questions about God, religion, fame, revenge...

I've become somewhat obsessed with Documentaries of recent. A large proportion of my downtime (travel to-from work, time without my partner) are now dedicated to tracking down, watching and, almost more important to me, reading around the documentaries and their subject matter. So, I'd love to...

So I just hung a new piece of art that I picked up, almost completely on impulse, the other day. I can now happily just sit on my stairs (it's hung on a huge tall wall I have overlooking my stairway) and just be whisked back to being 7 years old, running, "piewww, piewww, piewww"-ing every...

Buried within a slew of infomercials at 4am, Adult Swim released this on the lonely, insomniac masses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzdRQCnDBlw&app=desktop Almost a stream of consciousness stuff, but on rewatch it's quite apparent how well thought out it is. In fact, second time around the...

http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/joss-whedon-endorses-romney.html As I am a Brit I can post this with a wry smile on my face simply enjoying it with a non-partisan viewpoint. Ah, who am I kidding, I'm a bleeding-heart liberal (with a badge... go figure) and fully endorse this message...

Many have challenged The Bridge...all have failed: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3c0_1351184890 Hugo - High-Fives Bridge!

Preface: Much rambling below, read at your own risk: So, here's my thing. I'm a collector, an (almost) hoarder. After much gut-wrenching, I managed to pare my book collection just under 1000 and I've managed to curtail my art collection solely due to a lack of wall space. So, this...

So, it's Sunday night. I have a pretty lazy day overall. Bit of gym, bit of French self-tutoring, bit of cooking. My brain is nicely calmed and I have a glass of Argentinian red to hand to help eek out the last hours of the weekend. And about an hour ago I turned on the TV, didn't pick a...

Greetings one and all. Today was the day. Very exciting. I even took company to keep me calm. Today I went to my favourite Wine Store in London (and yes, that was capitalised) to purchase a few special bottles for the Christmas period. I was good, the Average Bottle Price wasn't...

Thanks to the glory and wonder of t'internet I have found, watched, marvelled at and ruminated over TV shows which I never would have taken a second of my time to watch if I simply read the synopsis in a TV Guide. It can be hard to sell a TV show. We are fickle creatures with too little time...

OK So, here's my thing. I never got into the comic book format. For the life of me I can't tell you why. The idea of the medium excites me; the freedom; the expansiveness; the depth avaialable to the author... and so on. And yet, even on multiple tries I've never really been able to...
