Christmas Special Doctor Who films by the Cardiff Coal Exchange

July 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The flickr user Alun Vega works on Doctor Who. He also posts pictures of the filming… well, no, not the filming. Not even of the set but more like the build up. His new Doctor Who 2011 set shows Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) by the Cardiff Coal Exchange.

Does Matt Smith really want to quit as Doctor Who?

July 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s one that’ll start a debate about the credibility of British Tabloids. The Sun is reporting that Matt Smith will quit Doctor Who had the end of his next series. Why? He wants to crack Hollywood. That’s a plausible story but that’s also a story that could be argued for any any up-and-coming British actor. […]

What happened to Bleach7.com? It’s down, dead and gone!

July 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 23 Comments

Scanlation is not popular with the anime and manga license holders. They see it as an enhanced form of piracy. They may or may not be right. The debates remind me, very much, of the debates going on in the music industry. Fan site Bleach7.com has been caught up in the drama. It was once […]

Space Invaders on London’s Marble Arch

July 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

3D projections are all the rage right now. I suspect we’re going to get used to them featuring heavily at trade shows and New Years parties. Here’s a mix of new tech with old architecture: Space Invaders on London’s Marble Arch. This short clip features Jason Bradbury from The Gadget Show. If it’s not featured […]

Pictures and video of the rare and deadly Sharktopus

July 16, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This isn’t for people who can’t cope with the sight of blood. I’m afraid wherever there’s a Sharktopus (that’s a shark-octopus) there tends to be lots of blood. Camera men at the SyFy Channel were able to capture some of this stunning footage. The creature is likely to feature on the TV station soon. Hopefully […]

File this under “Ooh; looks interesting”. The BBC are gearing up for three new, 90-minute, Sherlock Holmes films. This new Sherlock mini-series was co-crated by Steven Moffat (in charge of the Matt Smith season of Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (who played Doctor Lazarus for the Tenth Doctor and who wrote Victory of the Daleks).

Dumbledore to star in Doctor Who Christmas special

The BBC has confirmed that Sir Michael Gambon will have a significant role in the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special. Gambon, who is probably best known for playing Harry Potter’s Professor Albus Dumbledore, will appear alongside Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins.

Manga for sale – all of it – the whole company

July 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Variety are reporting that Starz wants out of movies. This means that Starz Media is for sale. Starz owns Overture, Anchor Bay Entertainment, Film Roman and Starz Animation. They also own Manga. Starz also has stakes in companies like POW! ENtertainment (That’s Stan Lee’s company) and Archie Comics as well as been part of funding […]

Lisa Foiles launches Everday Achievements (hey @darthchix0r)

July 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

… and it’s good. In this episode Lisa unlocks the “Less important than cheerios” badge. However, don’t think this is an Xbox bias web series. Our video star keeps her PS3 in the limelight too. We’ve just got 5 minutes of Everday Achievements. That’s about right for YouTube but hard to really judge. First indications […]
