It's interesting because a] $40 million dollars is practically nothing to Disney but is still a huge amount of money and b] that's exactly the type of budget that creatives in Hollywood complain is entirely gone now. You're either making it on a sub $10 million seat of the pants budget or it's a $100 million+…

Don't mention the war!

I'm rewatching The Wire for the third maybe fourth time right now. I was just going to rewatch my favourite season(2) but such is it's power that I'm presently at S4E8 and knocking down two to three a day.

I quit after err.. season five I think so I can't speak to anything past that but Gooch gets it completely right for me, rocky start(but not that bad, nothing to scare you off) leads to a super solid back half of season 1 but season 2, oh season 2 showed so much promise and really made me stay with it much longer than…

Perhaps the only way to damn Joss on this one is that he should not have made /this/ show with Dushku, he could very well have pitched a different show to fulfil her fox deal.

She does indeed have a whole lot of Faith in her range.

I watched Serenity after having seen all of Firefly in the correct order. I think it was a perfectly okay movie staring characters I had some affection for. The proof of how they both hold up for me is in the years since I've watched Firefly all the way though probably…

I'm not sure it's like that at all D.R Darke (I can't seem to get that to link)

Or with his limited reading time he could read any of the novels aimed at his actual age group. You know, just for something different.

But, but… he's from Padua, Kentucky?

It's a real thing, I have it to a small degree particularly if I've been drinking I can find myself falling into the cadence of the Russian lady I've been talking with. For some people it's a real problem though. All children do it, bring a nine year old to London and watch them start talking like locals within the…

I'm not sure about DVD going away but there is proof that more Blu-ray players have been sold in the United States than DVD players ever were - by some crazy multiple at that.

My favourite commentary of all time is the Edgar Wright, Quentin Tarantino one on 'Hot Fuzz'. It also clued you into the whole Tarantino talking black controversy years before it happened - right at the end he apologises if he slipped into a faux English accent at any point in the recording as he'd been in the UK for…

Five years on I just wanted to point out the sad, gross fact that resistancemp3.org.uk is now an online gambling advocacy site.

Neverwhere was sold light entertainment. Kraken was a grand weird picaresque. I'll take the latter.

It was perhaps too thin a premise, but I'll forgive it for the experiment he was trying and his motivation for said experiment. He wanted to write a crime novel, a procedural with law enforcement protagonists. To this end it's broken into three parts where he uses three common tropes of the genre one is the world…

Even the first one could work.

Done right that sounds like a show I'd actually watch.

A crying, vomiting blowjob? Why are you rewarding him?

I don't know if she got a body double for season 2, but in an interview for season one when asked about body doubles she joked that if she was going to get a body double she'd want one with 'bigger boobs and longer legs'. Rhys also confirmed that any man arse seen is all his.
