I'm taking a moment in my daily blogging schedule to step back from my goal (of discussing all the various entertainments I've consumed and getting up to date on them) and think about my blogging, so feel free to ignore this self-indulgence on my part. I'm getting close to aim…
Splice is not the sort of film I would normally watch because, even though it is billed as a science fiction horror, it is the horror part that I don't particularly care for. If you were of a mind to search my archives, you wouldn't find many (if any) horror…
I had thought to write about this fabulous film when I first saw it, but the ocean of writing about Inception on the internet put me off – all the theories and beautifully written praise rather overwhelmed me. I won't be adding to much to that ocean, but I couldn't…
The World Cup finally beat the cinema: I didn't go to the cinema for two weeks because the studios were so scared of a bunch of football games. The first film to come out after the drought was Predators, which is very different from the last four films I've talked…
The final week of June brings a lot of comic books to discuss, so that means I shall dispense with the charming introduction to this segment of 'catching up on comic books I bought some time ago and am only now getting round to talking about'. Batman: Return of Bruce…
After yesterday's lengthy post about many comics, today's will thankfully be shorter; I bought Atlas #2 as well, but I'll be talking about Agents of Atlas/Atlas at a later date, so it will only be two comics for discussion. The Boys #43 I started out enjoying The Boys – Garth…
Back to the comics. In these posts, I try to catalogue my thoughts on the books I purchased in the weekly trip to the comic book shop. However, the normal routine was disrupted by moving offices, which meant that I wasn't a 10-minute walk from Gosh! any more. Having settled…
I have surprised myself today: in doing this blog for over 5 years, I have never written of my love of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. This is surprising considering I've been buying them now for nearly 20 years; I remember even misguidedly putting it on an early CV (in the…
The final week of May, and only two comics to keep me company this time. It's an even split between the two mainstream publishers, which makes me think I should be buying more books from the independent publishers. Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #2 Or Witch Hunter Batman. Grant Morrison…
Five comics in a week is a big haul for me, and a lot of books to talk about (although I won't be talking about Atlas #1 just yet, which had the best cover of the week), so let's get to it. Chronicles of Wormwood: Last Battle #3 I really…
