Bitten: dear god, please tell me this show has been cancelled
Oh, Bitten. What can I say beyond that this is without a doubt the worst TV show I have ever seen - and I say this as someone who has watched a lot of bad TV. A LOT. And yet I am still watching because it's also the saddest show ever. I mean, not only is this show too cheap to have more than about 5 minutes of CGI for the entire season but they're ( Read more... ) -
Bitten
This has to be the Platonic ideal of terrible shows. It is also somewhat tragic as they clearly can't afford the special effects of wolvery that they need and so have to content themselves with shots of Our Heroes standing around in trees sniffing and talking about the family and other stuff. IT IS MAGNIFICENT AND AWFUL AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BOOK ( Read more... ) -
Agents of SHIELD and Sons of Anarchy
It's been an age since I've had time to post on livejournal and now I come back to post about trivial matters: to wit, Agents of Shield and Sons of Anarchy. Good god, is Agents boring. I haven't made it through an episode since the second. It is also a remarkable paean to the surveillance state (don't worry! it's all for our good!) and so far has ( Read more... ) -

Whisky tasting: they know how to do it in Scotland
Yesterday evening I went to my first whisky tasting. I thought it would be like wine tasting - you get a small amount of each type you're trying and perhaps some bread. Instead we got FOUR DOUBLES for 8 quid. Four doubles of whisky with nothing to mop it up is, my friends, a LOT of whisky. A lot of delicious, delicious whisky ( Read more... ) -
Perhaps not in the best of taste...
So, I went to the National Museum of Scotland's exhibition on Mary, Queen of Scots, which was very interesting and made me a bit more sympathetic to her on the grounds of her intelligence (though, good god, did she have bad taste in me). I was a little surprised to find they were selling replicas axes for the kiddies in the exhibition shop. Perhaps ( Read more... ) -
How you know your budget hotel is in a nice area of London:
There are three policemen with guns protecting a house around the corner. Googling has enabled me to discover that they are protecting Tony and Cherie Blair. Somehow my tiny room seems rather fancy now... -

THEY ARE MAKING A TV SERIES OF OUTLANDER. OUTLANDER. YES, IT'S GOING TO BE SCOTTISH MISERY, KILTS, AND RAPE ON STARZ. So, sort of like Spartacus but in the Highlands ( Read more... ) -
ANGEL EYES
Okay, so at one point I turned away from Zombies and Lincoln due to overbeardage or, rather, overhorrificebeardage (it's a real problem AFFLICTING OUR MOVIES RIGHT NOW and not just something I made up right now). But now my telly has Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes! She's a cop! Jim C from Person of Interest has bad hair! He does good deeds and is a ( Read more... ) -
