Neil Gaiman Returning to DOCTOR WHO

The Life, Doctor Who and Combom Blog confirms that Neil Gaiman, fresh on the heels of winning a Hugo Award for his DOCTOR WHO episode “The Doctor’s Wife,” is writing another one.

“Only a fool or a mad man would try to do it again,” Gaiman said, “so I’m on the third draft.”

io9.Com, however, points out that there is no guarantee that Gaiman’s new episode will show up on the air this season, Gaiman having pointed out that like his earlier script this one too may be pushed back to later for budgetary reasons. read article

Kathy sees THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Epic epicness

Warning: Parts of this review are spoilerific, so if you haven’t seen the movie and you read this review and I spoil it for you…well, sorry about that.

Okay, fess up time: I saw this movie over a month ago and am just getting a chance to write the review. So I had to reach way back into the crevices of my brain to remember what this movie was about. Certain parts stuck with me–Bane’s awesome headgear, the uselessness of Catwoman, the fact that Batman always sounds like a ten-pack-a-day-smoker ready to choke on his own phlegm at any moment. My overall recollection of the film is that it was good. More than good. I’d say a very good film that I would easily rent on DVD.

Rent, not own. read article
