Film & TV / Re: Last movie watched...
« on: 05 February, 2019, 05:59:22 pm »The play was better than the movie, but it was still good in my book. Just the whole twist thing doesn't come off as well.
It didn’t come off at all. It may as well have been Bobby stepping out of the shower.
I wouldn't go as far as a B. Ewing comparison, but it did achieve the strongest face-palm ending since Switchblade Romance for this jaded horror aficionado.

* Toilet Flush Gif *
Surely there is some demand out there for a comics based news site that isn't slimy guttersnipe trash.
This very forum is the only source of decent genre reviews / discussion on the web, even allowing for the fact half the time yiser rambling on about Brexit.

Games / Re: Nintendo Switch

Welcome aboard kid.
As mentioned, you can't really go wrong with a Nintendo AAA release like Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros or Mario Kart, but the top Switch recommendation from me is Farm / Charm simulator Stardew Valley.
Available on the eShop for a few quid, it's a quality all ages game.

General / Re: If Hachette extends the 2000 AD collection, which books do you want to see?
« on: 29 January, 2019, 08:48:03 am »I'd love Firekind to finally get collected in a manner the trip deserves.We'll allow it.
As a cherry-picker I would be all over a Firekind / Smith collection.
Big Dave (and Young Dave) would be also very welcome, but I know it ain't gonna happen.
Complete collections for the irreverent Bix Barton and entertaining Armoured Gideon get the nod from me.

Very sorry to hear about this CL2K.
Hopefully you have some support from family and friends and the situation with your brother is resolved.

There has to be some mileage to an issue of Zarjaz featuring Judge Dread, Rouge Trooper, Tranny Rex, Match 1 and Saline The King.

Film & TV / Re: Current TV Boxset Addiction
« on: 16 January, 2019, 11:20:52 am »The Deuce season 2.
By far the best TV show of 2018, script and performances are so good I'd rate it in the same league as The Wire and The Sopranos.
I've read there'll be another time jump in season 3 to the early 80's, should be a treat.

Looks great, and I'm kinda remorseful I waited for the collected edition this time.

Other Reviews / Re: Judge Dredd: Toxic
« on: 10 January, 2019, 12:12:49 pm »I'm finding this very sub-par.
Yeah.
I picked up the first two issues on the back of a points redemption scheme my LCS (the ever wonderful Big Bang Comics) was previously running.
The points system seem to have been scrapped. I won't be bothering with the remaining two issues.

Other Reviews / Simon Bisley Sketchbook 2018
« on: 09 January, 2019, 06:17:46 pm »
Got this as a stocking filler and poured over it on Christmas night with some tasty whiskey, just as Biz would have wanted.
Not on trend to be a fan of this type of artwork these days, but I still love his stuff. Always will.
Some 2000AD related content too- Dredd / Anderson and Slaine pieces I haven't seen before.
Worth a pick-up if it's your cuppa.
