“There’s only one person in the universe that hates me as much as you do”

Even better on a second viewing as when you know the Dream Lord is him everything he says is that much more cutting (“I’ve seen your dreams”, “Intergalactic wag”, “I know where your heart lies”, “That’s…

Daybreakers — or everything that is wrong with modern cinema

Maybe it’s just me. Daybreakers is exactlyI the sort of film I used to love when I was about 19. Excellent very well thought through premise, okay script, good acting and gory as hell. Now I almost walked out of the cinema on…

Doctor Who

Excellent episode — just the kind of great idea and writing that I’ve been waiting for since Mr Moffet took over.

Music : Frank Turner

I normally leave it up to to post up music stuff but I was listening to this in the car this evening and wanted to share how much I love this song. Ignore the video as it’s not very good fan-mix — just listen to the lyrics.
