It was quite a contrast to Swearengen's free-wheeling profanic style. There was something about Bullock's restrained and measured delivery that reeled me in though, especially when it becomes clear that he is pretty much constantly restraining his impulse to smack twelve shades of shit out of...

Justified gave me the double whammy of reminiscing about Deadwood and The Shield. It's a wonder I could make out what was happening with such wet eyes. Any of youse guys seen St Clara (or Clarita, can't remember) Diet? If, like me, you need a random Olyphant fix where he does comedy, I'd...

There's a program called Resolve that is immensely powerful and I highly recommend. It was created as a colour correction tool but can handle basic editing too.

Cheers buddy.

We Fantasy Footballing this year? I did an exceptionally adequate job for a couple of months before shitting the bed. Maybe I can go for several months before defecating my sleep-stead this year. Dreaming big.

Happy to help

The League Bit of a niche-premised show - 6 friends who play fantasy (American) football together and mercilessly take the piss out of each other. There's no great subtext to the show, no clever commentary on society at large or what "family" really is. Just 6 improv performers who have a lot...

Going into Watchmen, who would have been considered the biggest "star" of the cast? Billy Crudup? I guess arguably the biggest draw was the idea of Watchmen actually finally making it onto the screen. The Patrick Wilson/Conjuring comment reminded me that I really must watch Stoker again...

With the help of a time machine, is that where the phrase "to spend a penny" came from?

All about double-bluffing that sweet poker face innit.

I hear Watchmen talk, I hear Let it Go. This is who I am now.

Manchester by the Sea - incredibly disappointing. Casey was good, Williams was under-used and it felt so much longer than its run time.

Have you been watching Scot Squad? Grado is a regular but Mark Dallas pops up every now and then as a fraudster. In the Christmas special he was trying to get his hole by claiming to be Leigh Griffiths.

I hope I'm not imagining it but has he started wearing coloured contact lenses? Watched Roadblock last night and his eyes were looking very brown in some of the hype clips but I could swear they were blue before.

Went to see Rogue One as a reward for finishing my Christmas shopping. It was definitely alright but Jin/Gin/not Rae made me miss Rae so much. At least she was able to say a complete sentence without pausing for breath in the middle. Forest Whittaker seemed to be channeling some Broken Matt...
