  • Derren Brown Lottery – unconvinced

    Derren Brown Lottery – unconvinced

    Well I for sure am. Of course Brown is probably expecting this, hence the ending of the show where he joked his way through an elaborate method for rigging the machine. Let’s look at the draw itself again. Brown deliberately riddled the broadcast with little droplets that could be woven into a conspiracy theory. The wide angle [...]
  • Inglourious Basterds – “Bonjourno”

    Inglourious Basterds – “Bonjourno”

    Just seen Quentin Tarantino’s Basterds. Great film. Brilliant film. From the off I was thrown off-guard on what to expect, but still I loved every second of it. From the slow aching tension building up over dialogue in chapter one through to the often hilarious and undoubtedly fun blood-bath in chapter five, QT once again manages [...]
  • 15 minutes of Avatar – thoughts

    15 minutes of Avatar – thoughts

    So last night I went along to one of the free previews that Fox had put on around the Globe to promote James Cameron’s Avatar. I met three of my friends at the BFI IMAX – without a doubt the best screen to have been watching this on in the UK – around 6pm. We [...]
  • Fragile and volatile

    Fragile and volatile

    Still not feeling great. Supposed to be doing U2 at Wembley later today, really can’t see me doing that now… it’d be the worst place to be with an ill tummy. Still in bed and I’m staying here.
  • Ill.. again :(

    Ill.. again :(

    I’m not the happiest bunny today. Forth week of the summer, and the third bug. A stomach bug, resulting in me.. well… y’know. Spent the day in bed, quite a lot of pain. The friend I caught this off phoned with advice to help me through, which made me think that I was only with [...]

    Be wary of twitvid and twitpic.. a cautionary tale

    This afternoon I witnessed a friend go through one hell of a ride, all remotely via twitter. Having spoken to him privately, I know that he will not be blogging or tweeting on this subject anymore and that he’s happy for me to tell his tale. I wont mention his name – he’s happy about [...]
  • The move is done.

    The move is done.

    Whilst I’m still putting the blocks of this new site together, I feel comfortable with the CMS now and am wanting to blog my many rambles on here now. So I just redirect all hits on my main photography website onto here. So a big welcome to anyone reading who’s slightly confused. As I’ve decided to [...]
  • Planning, prepping, working…

    Planning, prepping, working…

    Everything’s still super-busy. Massive amount of work at the dayjob, setting up this site still and planing my photography exhibition – just over a week to go! The work on the next set of What’s On Stage films starts soon too. So haven’t had time to blog – not the best of starts with a [...]
  • Setting things up

    Setting things up

    So I’m in the process of setting up my new site – the pages, plugins, widgets, the static pages, the categories… It’s taking time, but I’m getting there with every random five minutes I find. I’d like to think I’ll have everything ready by the end of the week, but I’m in the middle of what’s [...]
  • These MJ refunds…

    These MJ refunds…

    I thought it was strange we were awaiting an ‘announcement’ about ticket refunds.. after all.. most will be processed automatically by a computer.. no… Then a press release came, embargoed until 5am this morning. Chief executive Randy Phillips said: “The world lost a kind soul who just happened to be the greatest entertainer the world has ever [...]
