On the rare occasion I actually write a post here, I keep seeing all the draft posts I never finished or published. Most of them are film reviews from over a year ago so for posterity’s sake, here are some very short opinions of them.
Saw (USA, 2004)
Good production design for a low budget film [...]

Mini Film Reviews
Quenching the dragon’s fire.
Okay, so I admit. I’m a bit of a six nations whore when it comes down to it. I’ll get in bed with anyone and saturday found me rooting for Scotland. The boys in blue held the ground in Fortress Murrayfield with some of the best defensive play I’ve seen in many [...]
Weird Habits
A meme that I picked up from Matthew has got me thinking. Do I have five weird habits I can talk about? For that matter, do I have any weird habits?
I don’t think I do. In fact, I can’t think of much that I do that is habitual (apart from consume [...]
Farewell to G’Kar
Andreas Katsulas, best known for his role as G’Kar in the television series Babylon 5, has died.
He was a long time stalwart of many television series, particularly in his his more recent career where he appeared in several cult shows, normally acting under heavy makeup as a variety of aliens including the notable the Narn [...]
Waitstation 3
Sony are delaying the release of their next-gen console, the imaginatively nomenclatured Playstation 3. Apparently, the current estimated build cost for a single unit is £515.

It’s up against that other great (but less controversial) British video game institution, Tomb Raider. Oh, and Concorde, [...]
I suppose you think that’s funny!
I hate digital cameras. With a passion. An absolute loathing.
Actually, more than digital cameras, I hate digital imaging altogether. It’s an obscene fad which should die a quick but painful death. The advent of digital imaging has meant that the world and it’s dog now think they are [...]
Seasonal events
I both hate and love the fact that Blizzard run seasonal events in WoW. They’ve had two recently. Well, three if you include Christmas. One of them, as far as I’m aware, didn’t have a real world equivalent and that was the Lunar festival held by the druids. The others were [...]
Time enough
I hate my laptop. I write a long piece about epistemology, inductivism, a priori reasoning and empirical knowledge and it freezes on me. I can’t blame it really. It was merely waffle that was going to loosely segue into the news that a certain Dr. Franklin Felber has this week put [...]
