About Me

Er...

Not much to say really. I'm a bit of a dork. That much should be apparent if you read about my interests. I am not ashamed of this, and have come to terms with it after many grueling years (especially at school, *shudder*)

I'm quite the doodler, often refering to myself as a 'cartoonist' and even sometimes an 'artist' (though frankly that's pushing it).

You can even see some of the stuff I've knocked together in the past here in my 'pics' bit or at my Deviantart page (Shameless self promoting there)

Feel free to add me, though send me a message as well so I know who you are (Man I hate random invites) unless of course you know me. In which case, why haven't you already? huh? huh? I kid...

Currently reading Astonishing Xmen by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday.

Nextwave:Agents of HATE has now finished because there is no justice in the world, and somehow Brian Michael fucking Bendis is still writing utter shit and getting away with it. No justice I say! oh well. I also now forgive Marvel for the, quite frankly, luke warm end to Civil War. Mainly 'cos they frigging killed Captain America in the epilogue (Like you didn't know! Have you been living in a cave?), which is really quite brave, though I never liked him that much.

Heroes:

Simon Pegg, Skottie Young, Humberto Ramos, Brian 'Mr. Shouty' Blessed, Zack Braff...
...oh, and this guy...

Kiss kiss, bang bang

My film reviews have deteriorated in quantity contained within somewhat which correlates to the amount of time I've had to write them and the effort I can muster to talk about such things. Now, althou...

Curse of the Golden Flower

Now to quote my friend Will after seeing this... "...Have people suddenly forgotten how to make films?" A very good question considering the tripe we've seen recently. This was more like a bloody soap...

Well... where do we start. Unlike most people (or so it would seem) I hated the Dawn of the Dead remake; so it may not come as a surprise that I was not expecting much from music video director Zack S...

House of the dead

You know, there's not very much in this world that makes me angry. I get annoyed, sure. But not actually angry. That was, of course, until I saw 'House of the dead' last night. My "friend" Dave (and I...
