Personally, I would love to see a series based around Section 31!

That would be fantastic, imho!

was sad about the burning of the shire omission but .. i am waiting for the extended dvd for that ;) Sorry to break bubbles/be the bearer of bad tidings and all that, but... Unless he's sitting on the best-kept secret in movie history (Oh God I hope he is! I really hope he is!!!), Peter Jackson did...

:? Captain Benjamin Sisko- You struggle with the most difficult of ethical decisions. You feel lost in a life that you feel have no control over. The fact that you're right doesn't ease your pain any. Ironically, you are also considered the spirtual guide to the people of Bajor. :? Yay! And to top ...

I adore Gemmel's stuff. Okay, it's not written in any wonderfully prosaic style, characterisation is minimal (although we do seem to find out an awful lot about the characters nonetheless), and occasionally, things just seem to happen too quickly and/or too coincidentally, but they are first class f...

Happy Christmas to everyone on Kevinswatch! Have a great one, people!

I put a review in the "General Sci-Fi" forum ... I think you might just have seen it, Darth!!!

Return Of The King (caution - contains minor spoilers throughout, and some biggies!!!) The beginning with Sméagol and Déagol is superb, and cuts to Gollum with Frodo and Sam as they approach the Black Mountains. After that, there is just so much to take in! The Sméagol/Gollum biphasia especially is...

One of the best Arthurian books I have ever read is "The Acts of King Arthur and his Noble Knights" by John Steinbeck. It's as near as bedamned a translation of the French Mallory texts, it's modernised only in the spelling of the words - the metier and construct of the novel is left virtu...

WTF??? I go away for a short while, and I come back and someone's taken over my post!!!

That I didn't mean to post in the first place!

Man, this place moves fast!!!

I thought "Frank Herbert's Dune" was passable, nothing more. There were just too many little niggling things that you saw or heard on screen and thought "no, that's not right" or "why did they do that?" For example: Why did Irulan attend the dinner in the palace at Arra...

Hey, John, relax! Lie back, and let's have Pizza and Margherita Shooters! NOBODY has Margherita Shooters with Pizza!!! :D "Crackers Don't Matter" was, undoubtedly, the most intrinsically f***ed-up episode of ANY sci-fi/fantasy/cult TV show since "The Prisoner"! An absolutely fabu...

Horsey to King Prawn 3...

...which obviously I am not, coz I meant to post this as a reply...

I could go on and on about Red Dwarf. Series 1 was fantastic, Series 2 was even beter, series 3 was where they really got in gear, series 4 was cruising, series 5 pulled out all the stops, and then it seems they started to put the blocks on. Series 6 merely repeated the things that were funny about ...

Hey, John Big-a-Bootie!
That's John Big-Bootay!

Fabulous!

Mnyeah, Revolutions was good - the battle scene at the dock of Zion was COOL - but it just wasn't that hot. I'd give it 6/10 - probably if it had have been another film with less hype, I'd give it 7 or 8. Mildly disappointed, but it's definitely worth a look!

It's coming! :S 2 bad Crowe's film: Master and Commander is coming out 3 days b4--I'd really like to see it, but I know I'll be SO excited 4 ROTK I'll 4get all about it. 8) lol! Yup, "Master and Commander" - I have one question about that. Why does the trailer use the theme music to the S...

It does too... I think Gandalf tells Pippin about it while they ride? At least it is mentioned several times as an counterpart against Minas Morgul. Minas Tirith is mentioned only in passing by Aragorn, Faramir, Gandalf, Theoden and a few others. It does not actually appear in book 3 or 4 at all. T...

Drop Dead Fred.
