The chances are Blood and Chrome will be set somewhere between Battlestar Galactica and Caprica. That’s if Blood and Chrome ever happens again. The Chicago Tribune has a story of an online Battlestar Galactica series that would follow the exploits and heroics of Adama in the first Cylon War. By the way; that would be [...]

The clever bit is the use of Edith Piaf‘s famous “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien“. It’s best if I don’t explain it – it’s better with the reveal. Watch the video below and marvel. The close call is that the song was nearly dropped from Inception entirely because Marion Cotillard was cast as Mal Cobb; [...]

Do you have a garden? It needs a zombie. In fact, having studied this zombie for a while – I think it could work in other areas; as long as you can imagine the poor fellow clawing his way through the ground then it’ll work. Imagine the fun you’d have explaining to police, again and [...]

Is this getting silly? Pretty much everyone who watched Sherlock on the weekend enjoyed it. Benedict Cumberbatch was good. Lots of people could detect the Moffat writing style in the show. Nearly as many people thought Cumberbatch’s Holmes oozed “Doctorness” about it. In fact, the speculation that Cumberbatch would be the natural appointment as the [...]

The news is pretty good. Although the increase in revenue is quite small in percentage terms; from £125.7m to £126.5m the company had [...]

Zack Synder (Watchmen, 300) described Sucker Punch as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns”. I don’t think that’s fair; that seems to overlook the dragons and the samurai. If it looks dark to you, well, yeah; the film tracks a young woman being dragged off into an asylum to be lobotomised. As you can see [...]

Comic Con saw not only the limited release of Buffy the Vampire Slayer soda but also season 8. Just to explain; season 8 picks off where TV season 7 finishes but as a comic. In fact, you can get the motion adapted comic from iTunes. The pricing isn’t too bad; $1.99 each, or $29.99 for [...]

Funimation and CapCom have got their hands on (some of) the Sengoku Basara license. The anime is coming out on blu-ray on October 12 and so is the computer game. In Europe the computer game will be out just a few days later. The problem here is that Funimation doens’t appear to have the anime [...]

This anime inspired verison of Iron Man won’t reach US TV any time soon. We’re looking at the last three months of 2011. Grok knows how long/if it’ll be before it appears on UK TV. This is a Warren Ellis scripted production – I mean; it’s really his thing, isn’t it. Mr Transhumanist. He’s the [...]
