She’s Mrs Darth Vader. She has Vader baby of doom. Needless to say this is a love to ruins story. A video of […]

July 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you a fan of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor? If you’re not familiar, there is history in how, why and when Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who.

July 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s a raunchy sex scene in a yet-to-air episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Captain Jack gets it on with a barman.

Del Toro’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark gets a Comic-Con trailer

July 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Del Toro makes superb movies and he’s been known to announce his projects at Comic-Con. Clearly a man with fine taste. He’s been working on Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark – frankly, the idea of not being afraid of a spooky movie with Del Toro at the helm is a silly idea – and […]

Danger ahead!

July 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some parts of the office are not safe. In this blogger’s case he’s aware that some people venture up to the third floor, to the land of the finance department, and never return. People whisper of wild accountants that roam the hallways with timesheets and other horrors. Scary, scary stuff. Finally, now we have a […]

New Batman Live trailer

July 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Batman Live seems to be dividing people – I don’t mean Mr live action Batman is ripping people in half – I mean people are divided on the concept and people are divided on the trailers. Pish or wow? We’ve had access to one trailer when we listed the UK Batman Live tour dates and […]
