Comics Catch-up
If you haven't been reading Grant Morrison's Batman, then you need to dig them up and get into them. Over the last 22 issues or so, Grant has built up a typically intricate collection of plot points, back-story and now with the launch of the ominous sounding 'Batman R.I.P' storyline, we get to see all the threads tie together and some of the most ( Read more... ) -
Zohan Premiere
Well, it was a fun evening and nice to see Adam Sandler, Rob and the director and producer of 'You don't mess with the Zohan ( Read more... ) -
War Crimes
Is it just me or does the capture of Radovan Karadzic with the intent of trying him for war crimes strike somewhat hollow? Just as the abhorrent trial of Saddam Hussein was a farcical 'told you so' affair where the former dictator got to show his bad self in court and ended up being murdered, which was what he was accused of doing to all those ( Read more... ) -

My top five companion choices
It's that time again. The poor old Doc (still DT, as much as I thought it was time for a change, RTD and kazillions of females and boys who like boys disagreed) is alone again and companion-less.

I left out a few bits in my review piece of 'Journey's End' just posted. Rather than edit that post and mess up the flow, I'll just add in this briefer scribble ( Read more... ) -
Journey's End
And as much as I hate those critical little bastards who jump onto their grease spotted keyboards and stomp out their own personal nit-picky prejudices and likes the second the show is over, here I am, mere minutes after the season four finale has concluded, sharing my thoughts with you lunatics ( Read more... ) -
thinking of thinking of
So I got my first book up on Amazon and am currently going through all the nonsense of getting review copies sorted out and doing some publicity to drum up some interest. And I thought WRITING the thing was tricky! I need to get a manager and an agent but then I'd have to pay them and stuff so hmmmmm. It would be nice though to have other people do ( Read more... )
