Avengers, MCU, Game of Thrones, and the Content Endgame
Matt Zoller Seitz uses Avengers: Endgame and the final series of Game of Thrones to frame an examination of the vanishing distinction between film and television and what it means for audiovisual media.

We Watched the Toy Story Porn Parody So You Don't Have To [NSFW]
A wise man once said "To Infinity and Beyond", Unfortunately there's no way of knowing who that man was or in what context it was meant to be understood, so let us instead turn our attention to the Toy Story porn parody - Sex Toy Story The XXX Parody Part 1.
It says Part 1, but … -

Review of Total Recall (2012)
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Total Recall (2012) Rating: ⭐⭐ Why are there remakes?
Sometimes I wonder why a film gets remade only to make it worse. The original Total Recall was a good film. Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but a clever, funny, action-packed (and only slightly … -
It’s All Fun And Games
Back to work after a great weekend. Troma Night was particularly successful this week - we watched a RiffTrax'd copy of Eragon ("Get your ragons online at e-ragon!"), which was suitably hilarious; the classic bit of self-deprecating sci-fi that is Barbarella ("Hmm... camp bad guy number 104... how will Barbarella get past this one? Oh; … -

A Very Merry Troma Night - Tonight At The Cottage
Tonight's Troma Night will be held at The Cottage. It's the final Troma Night of the year, and it'll be our least Christmassy of the "Christmas" Troma Nights ever, we suspect! Here's the plan:
8pm prompt start - order pizza and start watching xXx Top Gun (we can't get hold of a copy of … -

Two Films I Want To See
Children Of Men, due for release this September, looks good. In the near future, all the women on Earth become infertile, and science is at a loss to explain why. By 2027, no children have been born in 18 years, and the future of humanity is bleak. There's a trailer about, too. It all looks …

Halloween In Aber
I'm a big bad wolf, it seems. And last night I, along with Little Red Riding Hood (Claire), Death (Bryn), Paul (Andy!), Judge Doom [barely] (JTA), Pinocchio (Matt), and Matt (not in costume... grr), went out to the Coopers Arms to see Pagan Wanderer Lu. And he was good - some songs I knew, some …

Thunderbirds Are… NO!
I saw Thunderbirds at the cinema last night. Jeez; was that awful. Unlike Bryn (who's complained at length about the film already), I'm not a long-standing fan of the original TV series, and so the film didn't 'ruin' it for me (although I did notice several major inconsistencies). Nonetheless, I still found the film to …

Dan Breaks The Internet… Again
Whoops. You'd have thought I'd have learnt my lesson when I fucked around with BIND last year, and 'broke' a small portion of the internet, but no. I managed to 'break the internet' again while playing with the Domain Name System settings on big. That's why Scatmania was inaccessible for the last day or so …

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Watched Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind last night with Claire and Paul. It's an absolutely stunning film (currently ranking at #49 in the IMDB's top 250 films list), a must-see! Go watch it! But try to know as little as you can about it before you do; it'll only improve the expeirence.

Being Charlie Kaufman
Just watched Adaptation with Claire and Paul. Absolutely fantastic - a post-modern marvel. Put simply, it's an adaptation of a book entitled The Orchid Thief - a true story about the author, Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep), meeting John Laroche (Chris Cooper), a horticultural specialist who collects endangered orchids, set to the backdrop of Charlie Kaufman, …
