http://www.sizemore.co.uk I'm not a field agent, I read books Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:45:08 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just looking at flights to San Francisco for a year end jolly. Looks like Virgin Atlantic again. Would have taken an X Wing, but not sure they're welcome under the current administration: http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/16/thats-no-moon/ This is an interesting idea: No idea how the final film will pan out, but there's a lot to love in the trailer. It seems to be heading towards Joss Whedon musical territory, which is a nice angle to raise some online geek awareness with, but I'm particularly interested in how ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/16/hush/ This is gonna be a lot more fun for those of you who've read Watchmen already. I'll try not to spoil anything for those of you that haven't... It's debatable who kicks the most ass in the book, but Rorschach tends to be a firm fan favourite. Think Batman without the ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/16/under-the-hood/ I'm not sure what it is exactly that I find so appealing about snowbound movies. Maybe it was seeing John Carpenter's The Thing at an early and impressionable age or just that I like the idea of the elements conspiring against the protagonists as much as the threat outside... but ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/13/never-take-the-tundra-lightly/ Saw The Dark Knight. Moments of brilliance (mostly due to Ledger), but a horribly mixed bag of tricks overall. Not a patch on Iron Man despite all the fan boy genuflecting. Will have more to say on it after I've seen the IMAX version - couple of things I wanna ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/13/why-so-serious/ I was in Switzerland Back now http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/09/sorry/ I've always been very vocal about my feelings towards Facebook even at times when I've been in danger of adopting the Kevin "I never knew fear until I kissed Becky" McCarthy plan of running into oncoming traffic. But I did enjoy the Facebook News Feed Edition of Hamlet by Sarah ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/08/03/polonius-is-no-longer-online/ I sometimes forget about the stuff I've written and it takes something to pop up in my G Reader to remind me. Like this lengthy interview here with Shepard Fairey. I reviewed his last London exhibition for ICON magazine ages ago, but because it's classic media it took a while ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/07/31/nineteeneightyfouria/ Speaking of YouTube... Brilliant video, brilliant music and something a little special. Not quite a sequel to John Carpenter's The Thing, but far better than a simple homage: Way better than 30 Days of Night too. Music: Zombie Zombie (MySpace link) http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/07/31/1983/ Or How YouTube got its groove back (for me anyway). These days I jump from one video platform to another and because it was Seesmic that first wooed me to the possibility of online video I've tended to ignore YouTube. I've just become convinced that this was a mistake. I did ... http://www.sizemore.co.uk/2008/07/30/the-new-mediascape/
