Look At Him
Jason Arnopp recently had a showing of his new short film Look At Me. (trailer) Great fun was had by all. A precursor, no doubt, of greater things to come. His next task? A feature with a working title of ASK. Director Dan Turner offers a prize to those hardy souls who can guess what it […]

Oh, the Humanity!
Finally got round to watching Being Human last night. Well that was rather fucking fine. You can watch Being Human online here for the next couple of days. After that, you may have to resort to the usual channels. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (“She’s a cheerleader! She slays vampires!”), the setup itself gives no […]

“There is no nepotism. I hardly ever write for the Guardian.”
You may already have seen the first (and, now, last) part of Max’s travel blog for the Guardian. Basically, a 19-year-old boy doing a gap year is about to travel to India and Thailand. He’s going to write a blog about it. Good for him. Thousands of kids his age do just that. Here’s where […]

My eyes, my beautiful eyes!
Dear Christ in Heaven. Torchwood Babies. Blatantly linkwhored from Stephen Gallagher. It’s just like passing on the cycle of abuse.

Let’s Make a Deal
The deal summary for the WGA strike can be found here. It’s not as much as we would have liked. It’s more than the studios would have liked. It’s a deal both sides can live with. That seems fair to me. Some of the highlights: The WGA is recognized as the exclusive bargaining representative for […]

He Sells Sanctuary
Trade news today: Web series Sanctuary, created by Stargate alumnus Damian Kindler, has just been picked up for 13 episodes by SciFi. I actually interviewed him about it a while back, so nice to see it’s all working out well. This is the second web series within as many months that’s been acquired by a […]

Strike no-news
The AMPTP and the negotiating committee continue to talk behind the scenes about what they might talk about at the negotiating table when they get back to negotiating. Nikki Finke is positive but, hell, we’ve been positive before just before the AMPTP tried to fuck us in the ear. (You’ll note that, as predicted in […]

I’m only surprised it didn’t happen sooner, really.
World of WhoreCraft. Sadly, it seems that a cease-and-desist order from Blizzard has resulted in a name-change. However, if hot elf action is your thing, you’ll be pleased to know that someone has listened to your telepathic entreaties. Link is SFW. Though fairly obviously, if you wish to search them out, the actual videos are […]

Science Fiction / Double Feature
Two things. Thing the first: This year, I shall be going to Eastercon, and I think you should too. Every year, there’s a british national science fiction convention, held over the Easter Weekend. (Thus the imaginative name). People who like SF gather, talk, drink, listen to the guests speak, and generally have fun. There’s pub […]
