Death Holds No Power Over Me?
Discussing the paradoxical death dilema in comicbook adaptations.
Collaboration and Repetition
Your listening to the radio and that new, hooky song comes on. You have a sing and dance about, and when it's finished you decide you're going to get the album to hear more stuff like it. You're about to encounter one of three possibilities: The rest of the album is nothing like the hit …
The issue with the “Hype Train”
So Star Wars is coming out in less than a week...
Who rates the BBFC
Quick roundup of what I've not had time to write about: Pixar's still got it, 5 star reviews of potential Oscar winners does not mean a good film, GeekDamon+Mars=Awesome, the world was/still is horrifically sexist and unequal and actually getting into see the film you want at the showing you chose before setting off is becoming …
