I'm neutral, just don't get me caught in the crossfire!

Loving the blog Mr.Wells! 

Guns? Check! Sex? Check! Zombies?...working on it.

The first volume of Red Seas is so cheap on amazon that I'm tempted to buy it, and I don't even like Red Seas.

Bloody hell that is a bit good. One copy for me please. 

I don't see what everyone is disliking about Ampney, I thought it was a fitting ending albait a bit rushed and it tied a subplot up nicely all the while keeping things open. Look at it this way, the government just commisioned a hit on a Babaggist church, how is the divine head of the organisation going to deal with this? Could be looking at war here.

Got specks throughout the day in Bolton, mostly sunny.

[Bruce Campbell]

Talking about Oz, does Bruce Campbell and Raimi's 'Classic' car make an appearance? I wonder how he'd fit the latter into the film! 

No sign of the car as far as I can see, but Bruce Campbell makes a appearance as one of the Winkie guards

Screw it, im seeing it!

A lot of Star Wars or Alien/Aliens was filmed in the UK, I doubt location makes a difference.

Cpt. America: The First Avenger also was shot in and around Salford.

hasn't Orlando Doyle already appeared in Stickleback?

Yep, I also seem to remember an Ogre from American Gothic also being in there, let's not forget The Brotherhood of the Book existing in both TRS and Sticky. Didn't a picture of Jack Dancer appeare in Sticky at one point, as well as The Jolly Criple?

[Hawkmonger]

I'm going to give the teenage Hawkmonger the benefit of the doubt and assume he's a prisoner of the rhetorical trap which means most Scottish men must dismiss any conceptual thought which requires imaginative sympathy as nonsense; can only discuss economic, social and political issues in terms of how they affect their daily lives (i); and tend to frame any activity without direct bearing on themselves as a personal affront.

Erm...thanks? 

[Red Seas:]

Red Seas:   This was a lovely bow out with everything tied up just right IMHO. Looking forward to seeing how /if this ties in with the rest of the E-verse.

It does, remember Orlando Doyle? He's in the next series of Stickleback by the looks of it.

Still not seen Breaking Bad...

[The Mummy's Shroud]

Just settling down to watch Hammer's The Mummy's Shroud.
How can you go wrong with a film starring Andre Morrell, Michael Ripper and Roger Delgado? 

And the poster tagline was great too;
Beware the beat of cloth wrapped feet!

Good call, one of Hammers best.

[and]

Was anyone else shocked by the recent News stories about Justin Bieber? He actually has a personality. Granted, it's not a very good one, but he does have one. And there I was thinking he was just a haircut.

A haircut and a nasty coke/ecstasy habit, judging by the breathing problems which recently forced him to stop a show in London village.

He's a bloody pussy anyway, Freddy Mercury had aids and died rocking out, yet Bieber cancels a concert because of a soar throat? Kid's these days.

[Hell of the Living Dead]

Hell of the Living Dead (Bruno Mattei 1980) and Contamination (Luigi Cozzi 1980) a pair of classic 'horrors' from the hay day of video violence. Both pretty tame today, Matteis classic is sold as a cash in on Dawn of the Dead (released as Zombi in Italy) but really is quite different, indeed it's quite original for it's time and more modern z-flicks have borrowed from it than you might think. Cozzi's rip on Alien is far more blatant yet still has a whiff of originality about it and being a great fun film to boot. The Blue Underground DVD's for both are splendid BTW, but both could do with good UK BD releases.

Had another guy at college watch it, said he hated it and prefers the Stallone version. Mind you, he like'd Taken 2...
