Noir live action TV series

June 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Watch how I avoid making “Noir of the living dead” jokes as I reveal that Sam Raimi is involved in a Starz backed “Noir” live action. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are co-producers; this is the Xena: Warrior Princess team, they are the same people who brought us Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Gods of […]

Supernatural: One Year Gone review

June 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Supernatural: One Year Gone is a book that fits in between series 5 and series 6 of the TV show of the same name. This review doesn’t dig deep into spoiler territory for series 6 but if you’re not caught up with series 5, are worried about spoilers then you may enjoy it more to […]

Karigurashi no Arrietty / Arrietty review

June 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Arrietty was the anime to feature in the Edinburgh International Film Festival before a general UK release in July. Without question; it’s a film to watch. The film is based on Mary Norton’s The Borrowers. I’ve not read the book. I’ve not seen the children’s TV series made by the BBC or even the 1997 […]

Craig Engler of @SyFy talking about social TV at Mashable Connect

June 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mashable, a large social media blog that you’ll have heard of, invited Craig Engler to their Connect conference to talk about Social TV. Engler is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Syfy Digital. Expectations got the better of me. Based on the headline “Social TV” I expected Craig to be talking about the […]

More pictures from Syfy’s new sci-fi TV show and MMO

June 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The working title for this project still seems to be Defiance although I’m sure it was announced as One Earth at the start of the year. The TV Defiance series is being produced by Universal Cable Productions, written by Rockne O’Bannon – who’s worked previously on Farscape, Warehouse 13, Alien Nation and DSV. The MMO […]

Terminix channels Lovecraft horrors via the TV

June 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I love the Scottish summer. It’s my favourite week of the year. One advantage of Scotland’s weather is that there’s far less pesky insects. There’s nothing that’s really going to eat your house. We’re not all so lucky. Over in the States there’s a company called Terminix that earns its income from helping homeowners deal […]

The Church of Omega [Doctor Who, Speculation]

June 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

At the start of the year, before series 6 of Doctor Who, this blog speculated whether Benedict Cumberbatch would play Omega in the new series. That would mean Geek Native thought Omega might be making a return. The argument – and other bloggers have also made it – is a simple one. This is the […]

Blade – the daywalker’s anime trailer

June 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Madhouse, Marvel and Animax have teamed up to put together an anime version of Blade. Is it about time? Did you know Blade first made a comic book appearance back in 1973 when he appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #10? Wikipedia could be tricking me for all I know; he feels a far younger […]

The Doctor Who anime

June 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a fan made Doctor Who anime that shows that a quality, non-CBBC, Doctor animation could work. The vid is about 13 minutes long but it’s best thought of as an extended trailer that shows lots of the plot rather than an actual mini-clip. Our Doctor is the Third Doctor and we have daleks, […]

Doctor Who – huge spoilers for episode 13

May 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 5 Comments

If you’re worried about the risk of spoilers then stop reading this. Go back here and read something else. This post is just speculation but it reaches towards sources with better and more official connections in the search for insight and solutions to the “I can’t cope with the suspense” problem. The 13th episode of […]
