Having preordered Aliens And Creatures for Doctor Who from C7, they were kind enough to send out a free copy of the PDF ( Read more... )

Someone suggested adding the Great Old Ones to 40K on RPGnet but it seems like the name and number of weird nihilistic gods lurking in the void of space might not change much. Although a King In Yellow army could be fun.

Super 8

Spielberg and Abrams team up to make an alien-on-the-loose-in-the-midwest movie? I'M THERE.

Sir Anthony Hopkins underplaying seems very strange in this day and age. Danny Elfman score added to the unreal Burton-y feel of the CG-ed up ( Read more... )

I knew The Descent Part 2 wasn't a patch on the original according to its critics, but I thought it was okay and in places pretty good. Until the end, which was so nonsensical it pissed me off intensely.

Trailers: yes-please-want-now The Wolfman, new black-and-white post-apocalypse parable The Book Of Eli, entirely-impractical-world-of-vampires ( Read more... )
