Rather a big fan of the movie Clue, but I've got strong opinions on the endings shown. Now, I understand it's meant to be truly ambiguous and, really, impossible to discern which is really the ending (the bit where it says one of them really is the real ending can be safely placed in the same category as communism, they're all equally right and wrong), but the third one, while entertaining, didn't convince me. For one thing, "Mr. Body"s motive for bringing them all there if he really is Mr. Body
Yes, yes, I know. I'm a lazy sod and should be shot on sight for so terribly neglecting the Spotlight for this month. I know. On the plus side, I have great (if stupidly delayed news) for you all. On April 2nd (3rd in the States, aka where I'm at), Ian Anderson, frontman for Jethro Tull (you might recognize them as the legendary band behind albums like Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, and Stormwatch) released a sequel to Thick As A Brick, forty years after the release of the original. Owing to, f
So, I liked X-Men Apocalypse. Haven't had more than a few hours for it to sink in yet, but, you know, so far so good. I like how the main villain's early actions make it understandable how someone could choose to follow him without personally desiring the end of the world. I mean... nuclear disarmament? Good start, buddy! But What if What if there were a story where some mighty immortal, trapped under rocks for literally thousands of years, woke up, got to see the world And had an over
Let's just take a moment to reflect on the fact that the Green Hornet got a movie before Wonder Woman got to appear in one. Okay? Had your flashbacks to how awful that movie was yet? Great. Wonder Woman's going to be played by a cardboard actress in a movie directed by Zack Snyder. Let me put it this way - given the choice between not eating, and eating a muffin made of broken glass, I'd go ahead and not eat. Zack Snyder movies tend to be muffins made of broken glass - very shiny, no r
So, yesterday, everyone's favourite guitar-playing undead penguin released a new album - his third, if you don't count the EP released under his metal side project, the name of which I can't even type right because Windows refuses to believe that you can put an Ümläüt over a t. You can follow the link above to the album's Bandcamp page, where you can pick up this shiny new album for a very reasonable seven bucks - not bad for 45:18 of instrumental rock. The cover art might be a bit sketchy, and
If you want exciting things to happen, go talk to Eric Clapton. This is me, listening to David Bowie, eating tiny ice cream, and reading Lord of the Rings.
Here's a beautiful thing that seriously just happened in Starscape. ->Discover a Ragnarok-proofed bunker on a recently-defeated enemy's planet. ->Manage to break into the bunker. ->Tick off heavily armored security drones, who start shooting at you. ->Throw a grenade at them. You're in the bunker. They're in the bunker. The grenade's in the bunker. This is now you.
I have recently procured a Black Pegasus in Minecraft, via the breeding of a Pegasus and a Unicorn. Now, the Black Pegasus being the best of all horses, this one needs a name. I can't pick which. Your options are either Sleipnir or Shadowfax (I named one of my other horses Stybba, and still another Snowmane, so LOTR-based names are perfectly valid). Other options may be suggested, but nothing to do with MLP or I'll sic the Hounds of Tindalos on you.
It may or may not be a well-known fact that I despise rather a lot of Christmas music. Songs about Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Commie-Faced Reindeer, and all the rest never really did much for me. Maybe it's because I've heard the same batch of songs performed by either dead people or dead careers for my entire life, but the whole thing seems tired, unartistic, and, oh my I finally get to use this word, hackneyed. This is not to say that I hate all Christmas music - not by a long shot. No,
