Like many a fanboy I just watched the new Watchmen trailer, see it here folks!
I’m pretty pumped for it. I don’t think it will be a perfect movie, and I think the fanboy community will give it a drubbing for that, but I think it will be a very stand alone flick. The comic [...]

I guess it’s going around. Everyone is trying to be a writer, at least everyone with the surname Lindsay and a pair between the legs.
My brother, the esteemed James Lindsay esq., has written a short film script. In fact, he wrote it quite some time ago. I can remember reading it and laughing my ass [...]

I went to Supanova on the weekend in Sydney. It was an interesting affair, my first con since one in the mid/late 90’s. The thing that really hit me was the smells. It was like an International House of Food, that has gone off five months after a zombie apocalypse. I have no idea why [...]

I was just listening to some old Ed Norton interviews about the Hulk and I was amazed at how he talks about it all. I knew that he had written the screenplay to the latest movie, in which he stars, even if he didn’t end up getting the WGA credit for it. So I knew [...]

I just finished reading The Ruins by Scott Smith, took me long enough. I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable. I found that every day I wanted to get back to it to see what the characters were doing, and what was being done to them. To me, that’s the sign of a good book. One [...]

I had an interesting thing happen today. A kid from my class asked when I was going to write the next chapter for The Trials Of Bobsy McMilko. They are actually keen to see what happens next. I have the pages stuck up right outside my door and it is nice to see kids going [...]

I’ve gone through the notes, now it is time for the creation to come alive. I like a story when it is noted down, but I fucking love it when it’s talking to me. I have to get a feel of how all the characters talk, how they interact, and I only get that through [...]

After having seen Iron Man I was left wondering if it was better than Spider-Man, which I see as the real movie that it has to compete with. X-Men is an ensemble superhero movie, and Batman Begins was already building on an audience that has seen four other Batman flicks.
Which is the better origin movie, [...]

I have now seen Iron Man twice. I have taken a few days, and I have digested what was presented to me. I will review, with spoilers, so if you want my thumbnail review here it is;
Iron Man is a very good flick. The acting is good all around, Downey Jr dominates as Stark, but [...]

If only that were some kind of music, I would totally dig the shit out of it. Unfortunately, it is more reference to my state of mind at the moment.
I have not written in a few days. I do not like not writing.
ANZAC Day was a day I was prepared to take off, even the [...]
