(Untitled)
So I was waiting until the 2nd July to do a big post basically wrapping things up on my LJ once and for all because that would have been the tenth anniversary of my starting it and so a convenient time to look back on what's happened and changed in that time (and god I actually read through most of my old entries over Christmas and FUCKING HELL I ( Read more... ) -
Oh, LJ
I haven't had a paid account for nearly six months. I just went through and manually deleted nine years' worth of userpics, because otherwise they would have automatically deleted all but six, and I wouldn't have got to choose which ones to keep.
(I saved all the ones I took off here, obviously - I'm not stupid. But nine years' worth of posts and ( Read more... ) -
Now That’s What Seb Calls A Christmas Album! (2011)
It’s December, and that can only mean one thing: by “popular” demand, it’s time to dust off my now-traditional Christmas album and stick it here on this here blog.
For those who don’t know about it, this tradition dates back to 2007, when I put together a Christmas compilation with the help of my LiveJournal friends. I wanted to put my favourite ( Read more... ) -
Red Dwarf, then.
So, er, yeah. Although this has been in the pipeline for a couple of weeks (and in fact, I actually officially started work at the beginning of this week), it’s only now been made public and can be announced: I’m now the writer/editor/whatever of The Official Red Dwarf Website.
It’s still sinking in, really, even though the first weekly news ( Read more... ) -
Latitude 2011 (Belatedly)
Okay, okay, it's been like a MONTH, but if I don't get around to writing something about Latitude, then there'll be no record to look back on in future of what we saw/enjoyed/etc. And I know from looking back at past entries for other festivals/similar events that it's worth having. So, LiveJournal, this is what you've become: an aid to future ( Read more... ) -
CA:TFA, GNBC, WSC
Ooh, a few things to catch up on, here. So! To business! If you haven’t seen me posting about these things elsewhere:
Thing the first: Captain America!
I saw it! It was great! And I wrote about it for Film4, thusly:
It’s true that it doesn’t aspire to be anything particularly weighty or original - but at what it sets out to do, it rarely puts a ( Read more... ) -
Green Lantern review
It's only been up for a week and a half, that's not too late to get around to doing it here, is it? Well, this thing's intended more as an archive for my own benefit anyway, so. I saw Green Lantern. I like Green Lantern comics. I wanted to like the film. Did I like the film?
What follows is an uninspired superhero origin story that trots out all ( Read more... ) -
Music alphabet meme thinger
1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List 10 songs you love that begin with that letter (along with some way people can listen to them).
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
I was given "R" by sarahofthedead, so...
( Sorry, yes, these should be under a cut, shouldn't they? Which means probably no-one will listen to them, but still... ) -
Reviews and stuff
It's been quite a film-y sort of time recently. I've managed to wangle my way into a number of screenings for free - some just because I'm great, but others because I actually have to - cuh - review the things. Anyway, while you don't get to see my detailed thoughts on Pirates 4 (bit crap) and Attack the Block (bit excellent), I now have reviews up ( Read more... )
