He rose to attention by writing for Ironside and Columbo and was more recently seen on TV a guest star in Nathan Fillion‘s Castle. In his […]
The Walking Dead’s Opening Titles – fan made
Here’s a good example of just how much the fans want to see the Walking Dead (and why it should come to UK TV or the production teams and schedulers involved risk undying curse horrors of doom). Fan Daniel Kanemoto has created his own take on what the opening titles to The Walking Dead could […]
LARPer interviews Sylvester McCoy, talks Doctor Who
This is cute video. For a start we’ve a program that doens’t take the piss out of LARPing. Kudos to Playstation Game Runners on VBS.TV. Kudos also to Niahm who, I think, does really well as the ad hoc presenter. I don’t know for sure if this is Niahm’s group but Heroes and Heroines meets […]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles
Some mashups are too good not to do. Take the immortal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (once known as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in the UK because, weirdly, the word ‘ninja’ was thought to be too violent) as a start. What could you mash in? Pokemon! You bet. In fact, once we make that call it’s […]
Game of Thrones trailers, teasers and pictures
In America HBO teased audiences with a look at future productions before their True Blood finale. Game of Thrones was among them. C’mon Sky. Bring it to the UK! They’ve released some videos; a behind-the-scenes look at the production with George R. R. Martin himself, David Benioff and one Sean Bean. There’s a new trailer […]
More SyFy brand work
What do you think of the rebranding from the Sci-Fi channel to the SyFy channel? I hear some grumbles. To be honest, though, I hear more grumbles about the content (not Sci-Fi enough) than how well the rebranding was done. This might be because there are few sci-fi geeks in adland or it might because […]
Doctor Who Bloopers
Doctor Who featured heavily in a section in Robert Webb‘s “Great TV Mistakes”. An up to date and rather geeky blooper reel show. Thankfully, the ever present and lightening quick Blogtor Who has managed to track down each clip and compile them into a single vid. Thanks Cameron. Have a watch. Do you think they’re […]
Avatar: The Last Airbender / Scott Pilgrim mashup
Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright tweet that this mashup was the best one yet. I’m kinda chuffed that directors like Mr Wright are in touch with the fan movement enough to a) have a twitter account and b) spot the mashups while they’re still hot and new. It’s pretty good. Avatar: The Last Airbender meets […]
Scotland Loves Anime
Here’s a charity worth supporting: Scotland Loves Anime.  They’re coordinating a festival/series of anime screenings in Scotland and it seems like  an absolute age since  the last one so these screenings are likely to be  popular indeed. The festival will be taking place from the 8th to 10th of October in Glasgow and the 15th […]
