Flippin' 'eck. As I scrolled through that page, I was sure the bit at the bottom said 'Popstar Pink, aka Alan Moore...'

At least they say there won't be a sequel (which just reminded me of the easter egg on the Return of the King DVD, where Peter Jackson is being persuaded by Hollywood execs to make a fourth film, thereby sucking a few more milky drops from the franchise titty).

The LOTR easter eggs are fantastic, by the way.

Anyway, I'm slightly hopeful about V-the-movie, but only relatively speaking - I mean among all the other crappy adaptations, at least this one seems to be approached in a vaguely respectful manner. Or am I an idiot?

Almost makes you regain your faith in Hollywood, until you scroll down to the bit about Nicolas Cage in The Wicker Man.

Perhaps they should blow up the Houses of Parliament as a publicity stunt.

Just a suggestion.

Or irradiate Scotland.

What, again?

You need to have a word with Dounreay. He's got more hotspots near his house than you have winnits on your ursine arse.

At least I don't poo in my own drinking water, then drink the water.
Not lately, anyway.

I wasn't suggesting they *really* irradiate the whole of Scotland - I was just joking. The last thing I'd want is for Scotland to be turned into some kind of uninhabitable wasteland populated by hideous mutants.
Satire.

I was slightly scared about some rumblings wrt "Britain after a Nazi invasion" but it's sounding better.

Much scarier if we do it to ourselves.

Ah, satire. How delightful.

I stand in awe of you. It is not for nothing that you were awarded the title of Professor!

Sarcasm.

"Neo - Futuristic"

Fucking hell. That mask's spot on. :o

Trout · 07 March, 2005, 07:18:34 PM

Oh, wow!

This looks fantastic!

Just read that press conference transcription there...
