Oct. 26th, 2010 07:18 pmI'm not much of a fan of Rocky Horror (shockingly YouTube doesn't have Tim ranting about it in S P A C E D) but this does rather amuse me.
Seeking things to do during the many hours of flight, a few pages of my notebook were filled up with observations.

Shiny things
Jun. 15th, 2010 08:42 pm1: I just discovered with a day to go that the kids' Doctor Who comic has five plastic miniatures-scale-ish New Paradigm Daleks as this week's free gift. Yoink. (And I don't even use miniatures or much like the New Dalek Paradigm, but they're too toyetic not to want to grab them and paint them up.)
2: New pretty SW:TOR trailer featuring slomo Jedi parkour and Sith mooks being casually knocked over by non-Force-y soldiers. The character designs do look a bit too similar to the prequel era for a game set a thousand years earlier, and it's an advert for an MMO which will actually look like this, but hey.
3: Al-Rashad page two. I await... monsters or something.
4: The IT Crowd is back next Friday - and Moss is learning the d20 System.

Hamlet 4, Macbeth 1
Jun. 10th, 2010 07:54 pmYep, Fringe Programme Day. The cover mocks you with its monkey pants.
(None of the four Hamlets are normal - there's a musical, a hiphop musical and two with puppets. This is starting to look like a gap in the market.)
The high school production of Dr. Horrible is for one night only. And three afternoons.
No Amanda Palmer this year. Which considering I went to five things last year and she was involved in three of them and in the audience for a fourth is a bit of a downer.
No Bill Bailey either. :(
Why isn't Laura Solon much more famous?
Andrew Collins doing a free show. But I've heard of him...
Another bunch attempting an adaptation of The Call Of Cthulhu. Wonky Fringe Lovecraft adaps seem to be an annual tradition now.
Best blurb: Indiana Jones and the Pantomime Horse. "Darr da dah dah. Darr da daarrrrrr. Darr da dah dah. Darr daddaaaaaaaaar daaaaaaaaar daaaaaaaaar. Rolling ball! Arghhh! With crossdressing."

May. 15th, 2010 08:25 pmAmy's Choice was rather Doctor Who versus How Do You Want Me? but that's no bad thing. Very funny, rather touching... also incredibly violent at an unexpected target...
Next up, Hootcrowd's Chris Chibnall not being allowed to swear for two whole episodes. Can he survive?

Mar. 19th, 2010 04:03 pmSomething Awful's RPG Art critique rounds on Vampire: The Masquerade.
And I can't really argue with the "dodging pants" bit. Or the description of the revised edition Tzimisce. It'd be nice if they'd included some things they found weird-but-awesome, like in the Rogue Trader articles.
One wonders if they'll close the series with Werewolf The Forsaken.

Mar. 12th, 2010 04:20 pmNew Bill Hicks documentary on the way.
A search through the Empire archives reveals a story from a year and a half ago about Russell Crowe looking at a biopic. Oy.
Speaking of oy... Sam Worthington As Dan Dare?

The Oscars.
Mar. 8th, 2010 11:24 amIn your face, Lion-O!
Bummer about Carey Mulligan though. I suppose she's young yet.
And Jeff Bridges again reminds us that in a finer world there's an ongoing series of Lebowski misadventures.
And why a celebration of eighty years of horror with no horror films on the huge ten-film Best Picture list? And not all of those shown are exactly award-worthy even in retrospect. Although the winner and her ex-husband have both made horror films, his getting into the montage although not hers...
And hey, someone at the Oscars finally gave BRUCE CAMPBELL props in it.

Click and share my pain. Or, y'know, don't.

A realisation
Jan. 4th, 2010 05:09 pmThe Curse Of Fatal Death was the last time Steven Moffat got to create a new-look Doctor. And he's got emo hair and a generally practical black-and-brown outfit. Hmm...

Dec. 19th, 2009 01:06 pmCatherine Tate failed to recognise Uprising by Muse on the Intros round of Never Mind The Buzzcocks (comedy music panel game where in this round the rest of her team sing instrumental intros to songs acapella). She thought it was the Doctor Who theme.
One can see her point.
If I learn After Effects next year at Stills I might have to test this. Have to trim off the "COME ON!" guitar sting...

Okay, so I just saw the Vampire LARP episode of Being Erica.
Which bizarrely enough features London from Never Let Go as the romantic interest guy looking entirely out of place. (Never mind the show being about our heroine working with a Time Lord called The Psychotherapist.) It was... oddly right about several things. Not least the overdramatic vampire shouting. Other than it being a boffer LARP, yeah.

I remember hearing about it ahead of time and thinking "okay, it's a magic-realist flatsharing sitcom... yeah, that might work." Of course I'd written one of those myself, so a bit jealous of it happening, but theirs was rather better. It's probably messed up my speech patterns as much as any single thing except Buffy or Raiders.
