Personal: You know you are getting old…

January 3rd, 2009
  • When Policeman start looking younger
  • You don’t remember being absentminded.
  • You have more patience; but actually, it’s just that you don’t care any more.
  • Your memory is shorter and your complaining is longer.
  • You look forward to a dull evening.
  • You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
  • Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
  • You begin every other sentence with, “Nowadays…”
  • A ‘late night’ now ends at 11 pm.
  • When the actor playing Doctor Who is younger than you

*sigh*

Film and TV: No more Narnia movies and no more Project Runway

December 24th, 2008

In a move designed to upset my my other half on Christmas Eve (mhahaha – it’s my evil deed for the week >-) ), I’m passing on the news that it looks very unlikely that Disney will be making any more Narnia movies (source Defamer.com who cite HollywoodReport.com as a source: but also see NationalPost, CinemaBlend, TotalFilm and E!Online – although they all say pretty much the same thing) and Jezebel is reporting that the new series (6) of Project Runway (which Katy watches a lot) is in legal problems which may stop its production.

Merry Christmas! :D

What’s wrong with the new Doctor Who that we’re getting through so many Doctors and companion? :(

Boys from the Red Dwarf and Krypton Factor coming back?

September 28th, 2008

It appears that after really long breaks, Lister, Rimmer, The Cat and Kryten are making a return to our screens in new Red Dwarf Special Episodes (on the “Dave” channel). These specials are due to be broadcast next year (2009) with the original cast (Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules and Robert Llewellyn) to celebrate 21 years of Red Dwarf and more episodes may follow if they are a success.

The BBC also reports that the ITV game show The Krypton Factor is also due to make a return in 2009.

Look out late8-090′s – you’re due for a revival!

Richard Dawkins to appear in Dr.Who

April 8th, 2008

You may have heard the news that “outspoken atheist” Richard Dawkins (he who is married to “Romana) will appear in the new season of Dr.Who.

That sparked a quite funny joke over at Slashdot:

Dr Who: Richard, what are you doing with that fish, duct tape and four lizard legs?
Dawkins: What, you think evolution *just happened*?

:D

I’m sure Les will enjoy it!
