Film & TV / Re: New Doctor Who series

Honestly felt for all the many many flaws of that first one, it looked beautiful (well, monster notwithstanding) all the space stuff. And I did laugh at the space startion butt venting all the gas...

(It did feel like a faint echo of rose, Doctor turns up and starts running and keeps running and no-one has any time to relax and just be...)

I think he mentions being there on the interview he did with Mark Millar on youtube

Yep, great art for a great script. Blind Iggy is 'a strict Jovus Witless and refuses to wear bios, which is a pretty moronic thing to do and warns him a lot of cred with the gang'.

Also that poor kid getting his nads crushed at the start - ow.

Does anyone know if Garth Ennis is going to Lawless this year?He's not on the list but I swear I read somewhere a few weeks ago that he was coming? Very possibly I was hallucinating. (I just don't want to cart some of his books along to hopefully be signed if he is not going to there).

Edmund Bagwell using a pseudnym IIRC

Listed as Edmund Kitsune & Richard Preston.

Is Richard Preston a real person? Perhaps a colorist on this?

Abslutely loved the art on that one - Edmund Bagwell using a pseudnym IIRC - remember being quite annoyed that it never led to a erguar gig on Dredd for him, as he captured MC1 brilliantly

That metallic cover Mega Special was a better, if only for the Dredd story that occupied most of its pages.

Nothing deep or meaningful, just Mega City gang warfare at its absolute peak.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. "I say, chaps, those Nazi bounders are being a bit too rum in the military ethics department. What we need is a rag-tag band of ill-disciplined homicidal maniacs to field against those fiendish rotten u-boats. We'll also need a fishing boat, lots of guns and explodey things, plenty of bemuscled npcs, a sexy spy, the Del Trotter of Fernando Po, and a bow and arrows. Now, before we embark upon this foolhardy endeavour... Oh dear, I appear to have developed several holes in my chest... Number One, be a dear and take over while I lie here and concentrate on my bleeding, would you?" Fairly fun film.

Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020). "Four ordinary people who feel that something is missing in their lives stumble into a puzzling game whose mystery winds far deeper than they ever imagined." Wonderfully bonkers ten-and-done series. In case you're not sold, I'll also throw in Sally Field and Richard E. Grant.

Them. "A Black family, moving to an all-white Los Angeles neighbourhood in 1953, encounter both human and otherworldly forces trying to destroy them." I really enjoyed this mix of human and supernatural horror - indeed, some of the scenes of racial abuse are more horrifying than the blood-and-guts episodes. "Whatcha gon do? Whatcha gon do?" Excellent stuff. (Season Two is the same but different, and just as good.)
