Loving Westworld – i’m amazed a series based on a fun, but undeniably shallow, sci-fi movie has found so much depth. Rants
i’m not sure how long i’ll be sticking with The Walking Dead. the season seven premiere felt like it was teetering into torture porn territory.

delighted that you can now download a few episodes of The Adventure Game – i want a dVd box set!
Love the title sequence of Class. Very Tomorrow People! Rants
How could ram attack the shadow Kin leader? He’d have had to hop down a corridor with one leg chopped off, bleeding to death!

almost us, The Greasy Strangler was extraordinary. never seen anything like it before; probably my film of the year.
it’s science rather than science fiction but i’d heartily recommend werner Herzog’s documentary Lo And Behold.
well, Class isn’t as bad as early Torchwood is all i can say.

the new Logan trailer looks ace. Rants
The Walking Dead is dead to me. i’m not interested in characters being used as cannon fodder. it seems that every time one shows any signs of hope or happiness they’re immediately beaten or torn to death. i can despair no more.

feeling really positive about American Horror Story: Roanoke with its hyper meta layers of mockdoc horror. Just hoping it doesn’t jump the shark again halfway through the season.
if you want some true scares, hunt down Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood for playstation Vr. i’m still having nightmares.

Loved Raiders! The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made, the documentary about the kids who remade indiana Jones on VHs in the ’80s. inspiring, hilarious and moving. RiP
sad to hear of the loss of steve dillon. one of the British comic book industry’s authentic greats.

finally watched Dune. Joyfully awful nonsense with some hella quotable one-liners (“i’m the housekeeper”).
Korean horror The Wailing is a subtle, eerie masterpiece.
also loved studio Ghibli’s The Red Turtle, out next year. as beautifully understated as anything the studio’s ever made.

Red Dwarf XI has been an absolute joy; “Krysis” being my standout episode.
Johnny cash’s “Hurt” certainly adds some poignancy to the Logan trailer. Hope the movie lives up to it.
could the duffer Brothers turn Raiders! The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made into a movie? or spielberg? that’d be meta!

finished my rewatch of Lost. it’s (broadly) fantastic and works beautifully when watched together.
Horrorville #2 and Comic Heroes #29 are both out now. RiP
dreadful news about steve dillon. rest in peace a true comics legend.

i’m a big fan of Westworld and Humans, tV shows that make you ask the big questions about ai – like, “would i bang a robot?” Rants
new Doctor Who spin-off Class wasn’t made for me and that’s fine. But there’s still something weird about the doctor in a show with blood and wanking.
