This week’s discussion topic, Adapting video games to movies, takes a rather chatty turn and ends up spanning the majority of the second half of the episode. Although, luckily they’re related, we still managed to get a couple of feedback emails in. Fiona and Elroy both hit the cinema, between them seeing Burke and Hare, [...]
You could, conceivably, make a two and a half hour film which consisted entirely of kittens, puppies and orphans being fed into an industrial size carpet shredder and I would watch every second of it — Clockwork Orange style — provided Jessica Biel made an appearance at some point. So, as you can imagine, when [...]
There is probably no other film in the pipes at the moment being more speculated upon than the WB’s Justice League movie. In fact there are so many rumours and ‘inside sources’ being thrown about that you just about need to qualify as a member of said super crime-fighting league to be able to fly [...]
Trying to keep up with casting and greenlight rumours on the internet now-days is like jumping into a washing machine and trying to write on a grain of rice with a marker when the thing hits the rinse cycle: Sure the suds are refreshing, but all you really end up with is a concussion and [...]
Depending on where you look, the weekend’s coverage of Joss Whedon’s exit from the Wonder Woman project was either graceful and simply a case of ‘shit happens’ or the shafting that the bastard deserves… Realistically, it all depends on whether the writer of the post you read is a fan of Whedon’s work or not.

Until there’s actually an official announcement about the casting of Wonder Woman we’re going to have to contend with a million and one names being ‘associated’ with the part.

There’s nothing scarier, for a nerd like me, than the void which occurs when all your favourite shows go on hiatus. Once there was a time when a show would disappear at the end of a season and… well, do exactly that, disappear! Those days are commonly known as “teh dark ages” or “the time [...]
You know that guy with whom you work, who never actually appears to be doing anything and yet still somehow gets handed all the cool projects and promotions? And even when he stuffs them up, which he invariably will, he still seems to come out on top… Well, I can’t help thinking that, like that [...]
This is going to be a bit of a long haul team, but the destination of this post is to get us to a place where I make a ridiculous prediction about the possible appearance of a character on a television show. It’s going to be quite the trek, so if you’re brave or extremely [...]
One upcoming bit of geek gear that I’ve as yet neglected to post about is the fact that the extremely personable Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy, Angel and Firefly/Serenity is currently working on a long awaited film version of everybody’s favorite Amazonian hottie, Wonder Woman. To be fair though, I haven’t mentioned it because, for [...]
