I don’t know how much those other films may or may not have influenced The Man With One Red Shoe, but it’s worthwhile watching Le Grand Blond avec une Chaussure Noire (roughly: The Tall Blond with One Black Shoe) the film it’s based on.

There are a couple of live action films from, I think, the sixties. I remember seeing them in the listings in Telerama (French TV mag), never seen them though. Fairly sure they were original stories.

I finished Oryx & Crake (just between us this was actually last weekend, shhh) and it is good. A convincing near future post apocalyptic world, helped by little things such as the way Attwood creates new terms or repurposes current ones like how Snowman uses “repinning”.
At first I thought Snowman an unreliable…

I saw the Teen Titans movie yesterday with a friend and his children and I’m not sure it added anything to the viewing but then again I wouldn’t have gone without them. Also, maybe, because there was only one other person at the showing. The kids were (mostly) quietly wrapped up in the film. I think my friend fidgeted …

Given the dwindling number of comments and staff I fear this has been dropped. I never got to the Reasonable Discussions, was their a drop off there?

All I remember from that weekend is it began on a Tuesday and ended with me up a lamp post. Pop culture was probably involved.

To my shame, 21 years after i first saw it, I realised “Face Off” meant more than John Travolta and Nicholas Cage swaping faces.

I’m still reading Oryx & Crake, but have interrupted it with two other quick reads because I found myself struggling to get through it. Not because it’s difficult or uninteresting, it’s very much the opposite, but because the context of Snowman telling his story is depressing me to a surprising degree. Something that I…

Cosign on the glorious MI Fallout. Just saw it. At one point i did lose track of exactly who was double crossing whom but then action solved it. Also, I don’t understand what everyone was complaining about, Superman’s mustache looked fine.

Studio exec see this.

Good grief! I’m not that far in and I’d already wiped the porn watching from my memory. As to why it’s there, I think for two reasons.

I saw Ocean’s 8 last night. Fun but not as slick as 11. There is a shot of various pieces of jewellery that has a border of what I assume was meant to be a gem like refractions and looked like a cheap effect for amatuer vloggers, which is indicative of the imagination of the direction.

I saw the show last Tuesday, good stuff. That Brian May solo though. I had time to get a t-shirt with a leisurely stroll down and up a long staircase, go back to our seats, then out and back again for a round before it finished.

Watched the 2 seasons of Big Train. Quite disappointed, felt like sketches ran on just that bit too long and quite a few haven’t aged well. Though fun seeing younger Simon Pegg, Kevin Eldon, Catherine Tate & Mark Heap.

That’s a shame, though the fact it wasn’t even numbered lead me to suspected as much. It does also include the one million issue which looked liked another interesting take.

Picked up a few cheap DC trades completing the Shadowpact run by Willingham but have yet to read them as have been enjoying the volume of Chase by J H Williams III and Dan Curtis Johnson.

If continuing series started before this year count then I’d like to stump for Giant Days.

You spelt P P Penrose wrong, but otherwise yes he is.

Saw Solo. It’s alright.

I’ve started watching Legion, 2 episodes in.
Liking it. So far the show seems to be weighted to favour David being sane with powers being crazy. Looking forward to seeing how that develops and how his possibly blocked memories play into it. Also, every time the yellow eyed man popped up I was distracted by the thought…
