@Grey_Area: Reminds me - I've got to leave a note for those badgers to stop leaving me "offerings" - the neighbours are getting suspicious.

@Charlie Jane Anders: I actually preferred the structure of the film to the book (which I read after seeing the film) - just to my mind it was much more successful. Children of Men was similar - if anything, I regret reading CoM simply because it almost spoiled the movie for me knowing what it was based on.

@GreyHammer: Thank god someone else picked up on that one. I saw it on opening night in the perfect setting - a theatre literally surrounded by corn fields and still found it the most contrived, patronising piece of crap it's ever been my misfortune to sit through.

@kazlehoff: Well, if Dark Knight's ineligible as sci-fi, you sure as hell aren't getting End of Days. And, honestly? Battlefield Earth? Woahboy.

@tetracycloide: After 5 hours on the internet I'm always hungry and horny...

@MrFlake: That is some weird shit - it almost reminds me of The Fisher King (if it was directed by Cronenberg).

@Grey_Area: Having said that, I don't think it matters if he did or didn't, just so long as the work stands up on its own merits.

@Unknown2U: Well, A Haunting is ACTUALLY based on stories told by real people. Whether the stories are true is another matter entirely (they're not). #fourthkind

@Jeremy Tapsell: Stop talking about Lily Allen - I can't concentrate... #doctorwho

@ProsperLemur: Well, guess we'd better stop talking about the Alien prequel, then?

Very nice article - might I point you in the direction of Iain Sinclair's work? He specialises in pyschogeography, most often of London.

Not so good for Cybermen, however.
