What did we think of Richard Ayoade's Buzzcock's episode ( Read more... )

Ok, can we take a minute to talk about 'The Hour', S02 E01?

( Spoilers! )

- 'The Hour' starts back next Wednesday and I am so excited for it.  I ordered Series 1 online and plan to spend the rest of the afternoon rewatching it and wishing I was Bel Rowley.

- Reading: 'The Life Of Pi' by Yann Martel, in preparation for the film version.  I don't really remember the book, even though I read it a few times (but a long time ( Read more... )

- Saw 'Skyfall' last night.  It was pretty brilliant.  Lots of action, basically what you'd expect from a new Bond film, but very well done.  Plus, Ben Whishaw.  And even the Adele song isn't too awful, though when it played all I could think of was the Jon Richardson joke from last week's '8 Out Of 10 Cats' when he said it sounded like she was ( Read more... )

Long time no see, everyone. How are you all ( Read more... )

The number of famous people who have replied to my tweets has just gone up to 2 - Tom Williams from the band Tom Williams and the Boat, and RUSSELL TOVEY! Russell Tovey sent me a smiley face and a kiss! (I really hate this fangirly side of my personality, but I'm going to force it on you all anyway, just so you know ( Read more... )

- Films - saw 'Batman: The Dark Knight Rises' last Tuesday, and 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' the Tuesday before (my cinema runs a £3 deal on Tuesdays).  'Abraham' was alright - I wouldn't necessarily have picked it, but it wasn't bad, although a bit creepier than I would ideally like in a film.  'Batman' was stunning, even for someone like me ( Read more... )
