Rumour control: David Tennant to play Legolas’ father
Will Doctor Who’s David Tennant play Sindarin Elf King Thranduil? Thranduil is, of course, arch-archer Legolas‘s father.

Star Wars snow trench run of doom
The Great White Snark has dug up a homemade Star Wars trench run. It is another example of how creative some people can be while coping with Snowmageddon. I think it is also an example of how far on homebrew special effects software has come. I’ll predict we’ll be seeing very much more in the […]
