Hell, rewatched, loved it and reckon it's worth a doodle -

Yup, love that movie. Easily my favourite post-apocalypse sports movie. One of me and my mates favourite video shop finds - lead to us lugging a VCR around so we could make copies.

Worth watching through to the 5th episode of the first season of Mad Men. I found it a bit queasy and unpleasant at first - well made but seemed too in love with a pretty unpleasant world.

Long time ago
I remember reading an interview with Jodorowsky in Taboo (anthology comic from the late 90's) talking about how much he'd love to do a superhero story mainly to explore how they'd fuck.

That moment where Roth rips off his wig, you know it's going to be an incredible fight.

For an overview of the horrific mess that the Pacific was I'd recommend 'Nemesis' by Max Hastings - a brilliant piece of historical writing.

As good as the original
I loved the original Mafia and I'm really enjoying the sequel. I remember the first game picking up a load of bad reviews because it didn't live up to the open world insanity of Vice City and now Mafia II seems to be getting the same.

Hmm
The idea of the show just talking about the artifacts got me thinking… This would actually work really well if it was just a framing device for an anthology about strange truths behind history - a kind of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets The Twilight Zone.

Beat me to it as well - that's exactly the show I thought of when I saw it. Nothing really inspires me to ever want to see it again either

Really, really good
I thought the opening poker conversation was fantastic, funny and moving and charged with enough real politics to make it highly memorable. Great comic TV, great TV full stop
