Please pardon a sad fanboy moment… One of the (many) things that I really like about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the way the internal continuity is carefully maintained. Characters often refer to things that happened in earlier series. I was therefore very disappointing to see a major continuity error in the episode I watched… Continue reading Incontinuity

Best Documentary
Many congratulations to Michael Moore for winning the Best Documentary Oscar with Bowling For Columbine. It’s good to know that there are some people in the US who can listen to an alternative viewpoint.
24 (update)
Yesterday I mentioned how the BBC had screwed up the transmission of Sunday’s episode of 24. I didn’t mention that I’d fired off a letter of complaint to various email addresses at the BBC, including the Radio Times.

New Years Honours
The Queen’s New Years Honour list has been announced. Of course like any right-minded person I have no time for a system of rewards that’s based on the patronage of an unelected head of state, but it’s interesting to see who has been found fit for the regal stamp of approval. In my opinion, the… Continue reading New Years Honours
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Warning, I discuss major plot points from the film Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers below, but to be honest if you haven’t read the books then you’re no friend of mine and what are you doing reading my blog :) “The Two Towers” was always going to be a harder book to film… Continue reading Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
