Enunciation
The last thing I want in my brand new Ford Heli-Falcon™ is a mangy dog or cat, fleaing up the place and vomiting all over the leather when I do my spins. On the other hand, I’d be very interested in a smaller airborne hybrid vehicle (running on either electricity or magic) just for quick [...]

27 Dresses

I saw 27 Dresses the other night. Pretty much as expected. After all, a romantic comedy without a scene where Katherine Heigl pouts sadly? Why, to my way of thinking, that’s no romantic comedy at all.
However, while brainstorming with Gnat, we couldn’t help but wish for something more. Perhaps, given the titular (yes, Beavis, ‘titular’) [...]

Project Runway Australia
There’s not much to like about Project Runway Australia. For the most part, it’s just a slavish rip-off of the US version mindlessly echoing the same catchphrases the original made famous. (Although, scandalously, eliminated designers aren’t farewelled with a hearty ‘Auf Wiedersehen’. Madness! I don’t care from what country your hostess hails – an ‘Auf [...]

Spam Spelt Backwards
Contour lines, detailed legends, constantly checking the scale. Frankly, it was maddening. That’s the last time I mind-map with a cartographer

Final Crisis: Issue Three – Know Evil

This issue opens with the team-up for which everybody has been waiting! Namely, The All-New Question and The All-Original Frankenstein’s Monster. They’ve invaded the Dark Side club and found some kind of dying superheroine. Yawn! Dying superheroines are a dime a dozen – even in these troubled economic times, so instead we cut to Jay [...]

The Gorgon Salon
The Gorgon Salon may pay peanuts, but where else am I going to find work? Curse this useless double diploma in hairdressing and snake-wrangling

A Reality TV Prediction
Prediction! The breakout reality talent show hit of 2009 will be a little piece of TV magic called Damn! You Think You Can Sew?
