I’m starting to think that Clarkson knew that Top Gear was bound to repeat itself sooner or later and get boring. He started to pull stunts so the BBC would fire him and he’d have the opportunity to do something new with a better budget and more freedom. And the BBC is left with an empty shell they don’t know how to…

Three notable points

Ah Wings ... When you come back from your mission, having shot down the entire German air force, punched the Red Baron through a spinning propellor and brought back the Kaiser in an iron cage, Colonel Farrah would still chew you out like you were despicable vermin ...

Despite his many faults, Clarkson is a very skilled TV maker and has a good grasp of how to bring a subject. This crew doesn’t quite make the mark.

Seems to me that the usual problem with fantasy films is the other way round, not taking itself even remotely serious, no matter the original source material. The problem isn’t that Warcraft is in itself a big cartoon cliché of the genre. The real problem is that Hollywood is a system that is prone to dumb down things…

When I break out all my bricks, and work really hard, maybe, I say maybe, I can make something which is about 20% as good as this one :

I’m one of those people who made the upgrade and all things considered it all went rather well. It’s usually printers that hiss and spit at me and try to raise money to hire a hitman to off me.

Playability? NO CHANCE!! The RAW SPEED of BLAZEMONGER is so WILDLY INTENSE that nobody has EVER beaten this game. You will literally feel WIND AGAINST YOUR FACE as the images WHIP past your glazed eyes. The average player dies in FIFTEEN DIFFERENT WAYS before he can even PLUG IN THE JOYSTICK!!! The best-known high…

Hold on, only a few months ago did she publically out him as Superman, just as he was depowered and started running around in everyday clothes and a Superman T-Shirt and bloody knuckles ... Is this another retcon already ? If so DC is now a permanent Elseworlds story where your favorite character will not last the…

Meet Uwe, the obnoxiously arrogant talentless hack with an inflated sense of entitlement ...

Step 1) Feel inspired to build something awesome after seeing the umpteenth fantastic design.

I had the feeling the formula was getting stale. Do some trek in a remote corner of the world in crappy cars, done to death. Testing yet another hypercar, done, crazy challenge to the presenters they bungle up in every possible way, wash, rinse, repeat. Toss in the celeb moment and the odd bit of news. In the end…

Many years ago, French TV executives in charge of children's programming were looking for cheap cartoons to air. They bought cheap Japanese cartoons like Grendizer and Captain Harlock, which became instant hits. They invested in more shows including live ones like Spectreman and Space Sheriff Gavan. The French…

"So it's fist and knife proof ? Here, let me try the .357 magnum."

The big difference between fan-projects and the average Hollywood adaptation is that the fan project cares about the characters, the story and getting every detail right. The Hollywood types think "I'm a creative titan, a demi-god of art, by shackling me to an adaptation you narrow my incredible vision to a…

The wrinkles help hide the eyeholes.

This was supposed to be a male cyclops makeup that was recycled into a Leela. Hence the odd look of it.

Whenever there is a crisis and the alarm goes the B2 bomber reluctantly comes out of bed, looks outside, decides there is too much dust in the air that could hurt its skin and goes back to bed. The B1 hits the snooze button and waits for the crew to come and rub it with the etheric oils of seven different endangered…

What strikes me is not how things have changed, but how much they are still the same, if you look at vintage films or pictures you can often deduce the decade it was shot in and there are clear style differences from one decade to another and it's hard to mistake somebody from 1930 for a 1950 shot. But somewhere in…
