Podcast Roundup
on July 14th, 2011 in Midnight Movie Club, Movies, Podcasting by Dan | 3 CommentsThings may have been pretty quiet round here recently, but we’re still going great guns over at the Midnight Movie Podcast if you’ve been pining for your regular dose of Dan. Currently we’re slap bang in the middle of our Indiana Jones festival. So far we’ve geeked out about Raiders…

on June 24th, 2011 in Comics, Elsewhere on the Net by Dan | 13 CommentsQuite a while ago I wrote a post about wanting to create a superhero phonetic alphabet. It was back in the days that this blog was actually worth reading so you should go check it out. Anyway, thanks to Tara over on twitter I stumbled across this morsel of awesomeness…

on June 10th, 2011 in Comics, Elsewhere on the Net by Dan | 22 CommentsOver the past two years or so my taste in online reading materials has shifted fairly significantly. I’ve pretty much abandoned the parent blogging sphere completely, retaining only a scant few mum or dad bloggers with who I still feel a personal connection with.

In other news, the latest episode of Lee and Dan’s Midnight Movie Club Podcast is now out. This week we’re talking about the 1982 comedy Night Shift staring Batman, the Fonz and that woman…
Pomposity and Twitter
on January 30th, 2011 in Elsewhere on the Net by Dan | 24 CommentsCharlie Brooker once said that the logo of twitter shouldn’t be a little blue bird, it should be a torch and a pitchfork. There is no greater example of cyber mob mentality than the self riotousness of twitter when it really gets going on something. Now, as a card carrying…

on December 1st, 2010 in General, Midnight Movie Club by Dan | 26 CommentsI was fully expecting Amy’s school to call a snow day today, and was all prepared to go off on a rabid rant about teachers being the only profession that can get away with doing that sort of stuff without it having an effect on their annual leave entitlement. Yesterday…

on November 10th, 2010 in Midnight Movie Club by Dan | 4 CommentsAnyone who’s listened to the last few Midnight Movie Club Podcasts (where we have covered such classics as Stargate, Batman, and err Battlefield Earth and Frankenhooker) may have noticed that the sound quality wasn’t up to it’s usual mediocre standards.
