Things 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…

Quite 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…

Blue Beetle Outrage!

on June 10th, 2011 in Comics, Elsewhere on the Net by | 22 Comments

Over 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.

It’s a busy week for me in podcasting land. First of all we have the regular weekly episode of the Midnight Movie Club, where this week Lee and I stick in our vampire teeth and get impressive neck tattoos in order to talk about the classic 1996 movie From Dusk…

I found these in the duck shed yesterday morning, and another one there today. Bloody marvelous! 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 | 24 Comments

Charlie 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…

The White Stuff

on December 1st, 2010 in General, Midnight Movie Club by | 26 Comments

I 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…

A New Toy

on November 10th, 2010 in Midnight Movie Club by | 4 Comments

Anyone 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. Over the past month or so my mic headset has…
