My mum just let my fifteen-year-old cousin, who has never been to the Isle of Man before, go for a bike ride, alone, along our crumbling, badly-signposted, extremely windy coastal footpaths. He's totally going to come back dead - an Isle of Man zombie, doomed to remain here in perpetual torment, denied even the sweet release of the final death ( Read more... )

OH GOD I love that Peter Pan movie! I mean, I was already aware of this fact since it's shelved on the top lefthand side of my DVD collection, which is where I stack my most-loved stuff for easy acess, but I just watched it again and it's like ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GET ENOUGH DISTANCE ON THIS FILM SO THAT I CAN WATCH IT AGAIN AND ( Read more... )

It turned out I wasn't sick after all - I was having an allergic reaction to a new perfume Hayley was trying out. Buzz and Johnny had the exact same reactions - once she'd washed it off, Buzz and I were fine, but poor Johnny has ended up with a rash on one side of his face, presumably because of the three of us, he's the only one sharing a bed with ( Read more... )

Oh, I forgot to mention, POTC4 also had Cougar pretending to be the King of Spain, for no particular reason that I could determine. Probably he just took it on for the chance to wear a new yet equally beautiful hat ( Read more... )

Has anyone else seen the trailer for that Sky Atlantic movie, Neverland? I'm sort of intrigued. Probably it won't be as awesome as the 2003 version with Jason Isaacs, but it might be as good as something that doesn't have Jason Isaacs in can hope to be ( Read more... )

I am an incredibly lazy person. This is not me getting down on myself, this is just me stating a fact. Personally, professionally, physically, I am lazy to the extreme. It extends to fandom, too - I spend a lot of time watching the movies or reading the books, and probably just as long viewing the various fan-creations that go along with it, but I ( Read more... )

So, before I start my traditional "it's payday so get thyself to ye olde internet cafe and pay off your credit card bill while swearing never to overindulge in spendthriftery ever again as long as you live, wench" missive, I would like to point out that if you don't read Philip Reeve's Larklight right away, you will burst into flames from lack of ( Read more... )

ALSO! Before I forget, I am offering FIFTEEN Pirates of Joy for the person who writes me Lex/Bray slash. FIFTEEN! Just think what you could do with so many pirates.

Although Trust Fund Pirates is, all in all, a fairly piss-poor episode (Snithy, keep your snide remarks about the general quality of a MV epside to yourself or I'll text you Sloth quotes at six in the morning), it does have one redeeming quality in the shape of Rico's weird Thing about pirates. Like that scene where they're looking at the ( Read more... )

Big Wolf on Campus makes Miami Vice references! It can't be natural to be as pleased by this as I am, but come on, "Next week we'll be discussing the rise and fall of Don Johnson"? Mr D, you are my hero even if you do eat cute monkeys and pick fights with teenaged boys dressed as Micheal Jackson ( Read more... )
