Here’s one that’ll start a debate about the credibility of British Tabloids. The Sun is reporting that Matt Smith will quit Doctor Who had the end of his next series. Why? He wants to crack Hollywood. That’s a plausible story but that’s also a story that could be argued for any any up-and-coming British actor. […]
What happened to Bleach7.com? It’s down, dead and gone!
Scanlation is not popular with the anime and manga license holders. They see it as an enhanced form of piracy. They may or may not be right. The debates remind me, very much, of the debates going on in the music industry. Fan site Bleach7.com has been caught up in the drama. It was once […]
Space Invaders on London’s Marble Arch
3D projections are all the rage right now. I suspect we’re going to get used to them featuring heavily at trade shows and New Years parties. Here’s a mix of new tech with old architecture: Space Invaders on London’s Marble Arch. This short clip features Jason Bradbury from The Gadget Show. If it’s not featured […]
Pictures and video of the rare and deadly Sharktopus
This isn’t for people who can’t cope with the sight of blood. I’m afraid wherever there’s a Sharktopus (that’s a shark-octopus) there tends to be lots of blood. Camera men at the SyFy Channel were able to capture some of this stunning footage. The creature is likely to feature on the TV station soon. Hopefully […]
Doctor Who writers to pen new Sherlock
File this under “Ooh; looks interesting”. The BBC are gearing up for three new, 90-minute, Sherlock Holmes films. This new Sherlock mini-series was co-crated by Steven Moffat (in charge of the Matt Smith season of Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (who played Doctor Lazarus for the Tenth Doctor and who wrote Victory of the Daleks).

Gambon, who is probably best known for playing Harry Potter’s Professor Albus Dumbledore, will appear alongside Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins. She seems pleased, Jenkin’s told the press; I’m over the moon to be involved in […]
Manga for sale – all of it – the whole company
Variety are reporting that Starz wants out of movies. This means that Starz Media is for sale. Starz owns Overture, Anchor Bay Entertainment, Film Roman and Starz Animation. They also own Manga. Starz also has stakes in companies like POW! ENtertainment (That’s Stan Lee’s company) and Archie Comics as well as been part of funding […]
Lisa Foiles launches Everday Achievements (hey @darthchix0r)
… and it’s good. In this episode Lisa unlocks the “Less important than cheerios” badge. However, don’t think this is an Xbox bias web series. Our video star keeps her PS3 in the limelight too. We’ve just got 5 minutes of Everday Achievements. That’s about right for YouTube but hard to really judge. First indications […]
Kill Bill spoof? Absolut presents Ali Larter in Lemon Drop
We know Ali Larter from Heroes. You might even know her from Resident Evil: Extinction 9. If you’re tapped into the news pulse you’ll also know she’s going to feature in Resident Evil: Afterlife. She’s also in a Kill Bill spoof. Well. Kinda! In the States, Absolut Vodka are running a short film as an […]
Matt Smith versus David Tennant – 5 million versus 8 million
Deep in some story on the BBC about men in shorts kicking balls are some handy Doctor Who viewing stats. Amid the excitement in South Africa, the final episode in the current series of Doctor Who had only moderate success. Saturday’s series finale was seen by an average of 5.1 million people – down on […]
