West Winging Pluto
Friday, August 25th, 2006As I said when blogging about Plutons a short while ago the whole Pluto thing really has all the elements of a good West Wing plot. The hijaking of the process to demote Pluto out of the planetary big league after the intelligent compromise that was the Plutons plan was killed off is by itself […]
Friday Night Vice
Friday, August 11th, 2006Went to see Miami Vice earlier. I thought the set piece action sequences were on a par with those in Heat or other Mann films. If you want to see some nice technothriller scenes with all the hardware and SOPs this film delivers everything you could ask for. However while the cold professionals without any […]
Enchanted Ramblings
Friday, August 4th, 2006Thanks to TeeBee for posting on her blog about the new issue of Enchanted Ramblings which I’ve been enjoying reading tonight.
Teppanyaki Superman
Thursday, July 27th, 2006I’ve tried Sushi Restaurants and Noodle restaurants in the past. I’d never had Teppanyaki before. Went to the Teppanyaki Sapporo on Duke Street (Liverpool) after Superman last night. A bit pricey but the show put on by the chefs as they cooked our food in front of us was really good. If you want to […]
CSI a Cheap Excuse for a Blog Entry
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006I’m surprised Kim hasn’t been emoting some sort of *strange noise* tonight after CSI’s season finale. I’m only talking about it to fill space because I’ve been busy polishing my posts for the next three months of Wednesdays. Other than that I’ve added a couple of pages to my site: impworks. I think I need […]
So I was wrong about Captain Jack…
Sunday, July 9th, 2006I was wrong about Dr Who bringing Captain Jack back despite the character being confirmed for the Torchwood spin off show later this year. Oh well. I’ll have to watch that now to see how they bring him back from being trapped in the future. Still we got an inconclusive fight between Daleks and Cybermen […]
Captain Jack Week?
Saturday, July 8th, 2006Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest yesterday. A very good second part to the series with a couple of really outstanding action sequences. Good character development. Interesting twists and turns to the plot see the characters and their allegiances mixed up from the first film to create some interesting new combinations. […]
Thank You For Smoking Part 2
Saturday, July 1st, 2006Went to see Thank You For Smoking with some friends last night. I don’t make a habbit of seeing films a second time at the cinema but this one I was happy to. One thing we noticed I missed the first time – I can’t think of one time in the film you see someone […]
Thank You For Smoking
Saturday, June 24th, 2006Went to see "Thank You For Smoking" last night and really enjoyed it. An excellent satire about spin, PR and media manipulation. Smoking is more of a McGuffin to hang the story on than an issue the film explored. To go into it in any detail would risk spoiling it so I won’t. The acting […]
One Hundred and Fifty First Post
Saturday, June 10th, 2006By my count this is 151 posts. I still haven’t released my new website but I’ve only 1 page left to go before I can release it into the wild so maybe tomorrow, if I don’t melt overnight, I let it loose. Other than the heat a good day. Chores done. Shopping done. Tomorrow should […]
