Did it rain last night? I’m guessing it did because our village looked like it had been flooded – there was shit everywhere (and not the usual horse shit that we’re used to).
It’s difficult writing here when I refuse to write about anything personal or serious. I don’t seem to do [...]

This and that
Batman Begins (USA, 2005)
Woah! Good film!
Actually, I don’t know why I’m surprised. Christopher Nolan has impressed me with his first three films (Following, Memento and his remake of Insomnia which, although not as good as the original, still worked well) but what surprises me is how, well, good Batman Begins is. I mean really good. [...]
Deleted Scenes: Batman Begins
Apparently, shortly after Christian Bale was signed as the eponymous hero in Batman Begins, this scene was added to the script and actually shot but, unfortunately, never made it into the final cut.
Batman
Alfred, it’s Batman, Patrick Batman. You’re my Butler so I think you should know: I’ve killed a lot of people. Some [...]
Revenge of the Sith (Episode 1)
A brief intro: I actually watched this a couple of weeks ago and unlike my normal slackness in writing up reviews of films, I haven’t written anything about it yet because it’s taken this long to really get my head around it. And because I’m slack.
I find it hard to think about [...]
Closer (USA, 2004)
There’s a scene in Closer where Natalie Portman’s character, Alice, describes a photopgraphy exhibition she’s at:
It’s a lie. It’s a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and… all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it’s beautiful ’cause that’s what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone… But the [...]
Blade: Trinity (USA, 2004)
What a let down. Wesley Snipes seemed like he couldn’t care less, Kris Kristofferson was wasted, the story was tired and hackneyed and the editing… well what was happening with the editing?
Set design was nice though.
I disappointing third part to the Blade series (and I know I’m in the minority of people who quite [...]
DVD Meme
The total number of DVDs, videos, and films I own.
Um, lots. Well over 200 DVDs (some of which are TV series, some of which are short film compilations, some of which are documentaries) , videos I haven’t looked at in ages – used to have 300+ but some are duplicated on DVD now (hell, [...]
The Way Out Is Through
You would not believe the trouble I had trying to get an A4 print of this image. I tried Photobox but they couldn’t handle it. I tried the kiosk service at Metro Imaging in Soho and they couldn’t handle it either. So I ended up going to their Clerkenwell branch and sitting [...]
If you’re not with us…
This had me pissing* myself laughing.
*Metaphorically speaking of course. It would have been disgusting if I’d actually pissed myself. And more than a little embarassing.
Pop quiz, hotshot!
You and your dog are sitting in a room. The TV is on but you only have two channels to choose from. On one is Big Brother and on the other, an old shit Bruce Willis film. What d’ya do? Come on hotshot – the clock’s ticking! What do you [...]
