I beklieve that the first doctor also had a magic ring that could be used among other things to control the zarbi (giant walking ants that have a tendency to bump into cameramen)

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Cloverfield 2 On Hold Until JJ Can Think Of New Gimmick]]> Or the gimmick used in a lot of the original japanese big monster eats cities movies and have aliens/mad scientist let loose monster to conquer planet/distract from plan to conquer planet/dig up gemstones, then have other mad scientist create mecha cloverfield to have a wrestling match to decide who gets to destroy denver (why denver, why not).

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Wanted Strips White-Collar Rage Bare]]> MAybe it shouldd have a caption on it saying (if they had to be strictly honest about it):
Based on a conversation about the preview of the first issue of the comic by Mark Millar.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Don't Count The Tenth Doctor Out Just Yet]]> BTW i read in aninterview or commentary or confidential somewhere that the gap year was decided on ages ago and DT took the role in Hamlet because he had time off rather than having a gap year in order to have him play other roles.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Find Out The Secrets Of Shepherd Book]]> If they then do a comic explaining inaras secrets what would be left for us browncoats to argue over at shindigs?

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on A Surprise Twist From Joss Whedon's New Show Dollhouse]]> According to todays Radio Times the following are correct:

The Doctor tries to force a pi into the mouth of an alien.
Rose Tyler will appear in the episode,

Also the professor is played by David Troughton, patricks son making his fourth appearance on the show.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Doctor Who And The Dumb Girls Who Are Dumb OK]]> Ok so on Sunday I listened to the commentary on this episode on bbc3 by Steven Moffat, Russell T davies and David Tennant which was quite interesting and explained a lot in between the who was the best borusa argument and details of the upcoming Nimon/Bandril war in season 5.
For example in the original script the person that donna fell in love with would turn out to be a fat girl because people can look like whoever they wanted to in the hard drive world, or that river song wasn't in the original plot description which merely concerned the library and the vashta narada, or that despite having a reputation for scary stories there are very few actual deaths in an SM story, or that the american actress playing anita went to the same drama school as DT.
Personally I liked it it made sense at the end with less plotholes than cloverfield (anybody who complains about the idea of putting people in hard drive (stolen from the next gen episode Relics I think) should watch C and wonder how they evacuated New York in a couple of hours with no bridges or transport).
Fave line was the doctors accidently "Everything" to Donnas "what does that say about me".

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Secret Origin Of Watchmen's Original Heroes]]> Very nice now if they could just confirm that the movie has a giant fake alien at the end i would feel better about it.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Our Weirdest Hulk And Doctor Who Rumors -- Confirmed!]]> shocking titles for harriets biography

I do not look tired its just the way i dress

The day farting aliens killed my boss and other true stories

Davros and me: a love affair amongst the stars

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Bloody Sexy New G.I. Joe Pics]]> So river Song is Romana, well at least nobody has yet suggested that Rose is Romana and that is why he fell for her, and why not start a rumour that Mickey is actually Davros reborn and K9 was kidnapped and rebuilt by Cybermen.

Still dont give a flying monkey about Lost

In a movie about giant robots that turn into cars ssurely a factory called entrance exit is the least unbelievable thing

I can still remember when books were advertised as being from the publishers of the novelisation of Star wars (you tell that to kids today they just don't believe you)

Gi Joe is there a scene where for no reason the baroness decides to wear a full facwe gas mask and we all resalise why all the characters were leather/pvc head to toe.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Doomed Android Love Story On Infinite Repeat]]> Didn't i read somewhere that she had denied that it was Sf in the same way that Rowling denies thst HP is fantasy.
Plus there is the fact that nobody has mentioned yet that the author is herself gay so is more likely to write about gay characters than would a hetero author.
Its still crap in that way all Sf done by Literate authors tend to be I mean I can't be the only one who read The Road by CMC and preferred The Postman or The stand.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Doctor Who's New Girlfriend GIves Good Phone]]> Heres the plot explained:
the sontarans are a warrior race losing the battle with the rutans so they need a newe clone army without the rutans finding out and stopping them, so they hatch a plan, they find a small world that tey have visited before and has defeated them and decide to take revenge by destroying it without giving them a chance, so they contact a scientist and offer him the chance to have his own planet to rule, all he has to do is ensure that sontaran terraformers are distributed to every corner of rthe world. But he makes a mistake and the first test arouses the interest of Unit who dedcide to take action setting up teir base in the factory where the sontarans have control which is according to plan because the gas they are releasing can be destroyed by fire if used in the correct way so they arrange to have the worlds armaments controlled by a base where they have an agent stopping it from happening, the only thing they couldn't control was the doctor who had experience of terraforming and realised that any terraforming device could be used to distribute anything across the whole planet, after saving the day he knew he had to destroy the sontarans but after the time war he was reluctant to commit mass murder so had to bluff them, would he have used the weapon we don't know we never had the chance to find out because of the human factor and the sacrifice of one man.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on We Ruin The Endings Of Lost, Doctor Who And Smallville]]> saw some pictures from the finale of Doctor who in Daily Record, confirms that Rose, Jack and the |Daleks are back in the finale.
Iron MAn - no script yet so it was probably just Jon Favreu going "you know what would be cool in the next movie".

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Failure of the Planet of the Apes Hypothesis]]> Assumption 1: there is no evidence that there have ever been any intelligent species before man. Actually this is true if you believe that every ancient astronauat theorists is a kook and there3fore making up their evidence, also there are mysteries like the trilobite sandal that show the remote possibility of previous intelligence.
Assumption 2: the odds of intelligent life re occuring are so high that it is impossible to re occur. This is only true for small ampunts of attempts, if across the universe and time 50 billion attempts by worlds to create life happen then the chances of 2 worlds having intelligence life decreases by so much it becomes inevitable, to use rthe example most often used by dumb scientists the odds of winning the lottery might be 12 million to one for each individual person but when 20 million attempt it then someon will win.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Biggest, Purest, Zoomiest Hit Of Speed Racer Crack Yet]]> knew absolutely nothing about speed racer but now i really want to see this film when it arrives in scotland, as long as it is a matinee (gotta watch doctor who every wekend from now till it ends)

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on A Laptop From 1893]]> Actually I can top that. in the story Other Worlds by Cyrano de Bergerac in about 1650 there is this description:

When I opened a box, I found inside something made of metal, somewhat like our clocks, full of an endless number of little springs and tiny machines. It was indeed a book, but it was a miraculous one that had no pages or printed letters. It was a book to be read not with eyes but with ears. When anyone wants to read, he winds up the machine with a large number of keys of all kinds. Then he turns the indicator to the chapter he wants to listen to. As though from the mouth of a person or a musical instrument come all the distinct and different sounds that the upper-class Moon-beings use in their language.

When I thought about this marvelous way of making books, I was no longer surprised that the young people of that country know more at the age of sixteen or eighteen than the greybeards of our world. They can read as soon as they can talk and are never at a loss for reading material. In their rooms, on walks, in town, during voyages, on foot or on horseback, they can have thirty books in their pockets or hanging on the pommels of their saddles. They need only wind a spring to hear one or more chapters or a whole book, if they wish. Thus you always have with you all the great men, both living and dead, who speak to you in their own voices.

The gifts occupied me for more than an hour. Finally I attached the books to my ears as pendants and went for a walk in town

thus making it a very early podcast/ipod/walkman.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Doctor Who Finally Asks The Tough Questions About Time Travel]]> According to Doctor Who Confidential the episode was supposed to be based more on Asterix than Rome so the cockney accent would fit in.
Catherine Tate is brilliant in the role now really going places with it and making more than just the new Tegan or the new Nan that we all feared it would be.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Celebrate the 85th Anniversary of Weird Tales]]> talking of weird tales you should print the original version of conan from weird tales to show what he looked like while Robert E howard was writing him.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Seven Signs of the Rise of Fan Glam]]> Personally I have never found that being told I look like Peter Jackson has done anything for my love life, although I did once meet a woman in a supermarket who told me that her sister (who I had met once) had my picture on her fridge for a year.
I also have an genuine ewok which is embarrassing for a guy in his 30s to admit i admit.
And what about Geekdar where you can spot a real geek across a crowded room, example when i went to see transformers (at the worlds tallest cinema apparently) in the elevator someone spontaneously mentioned about how she had spent years waiting for this to happen somehow knowing i would grok it.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on How to Destroy an Evil Plant Monster]]> And The thing was also remade as a 5 page UNIT backup in the Doctor Who comic featuring the zygons, and talking of Who what about the Krynoid which was blown up twice.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Weakest Con Artists Of The Distant Future]]> What about Trix who joined the crew of the tardis in the novels after pretending to be a descendant of tsar Nicholas and stole info from the future to make money, or has nobody read the entire bbc novels series.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Guess Who's Back On Heroes Next Year!]]> Just rerad the synopsises of both the comic (on Wikipedia) and the movie and they could be of two different stories, it feels to me that itt is just one rewrite (to change the names and first ten minutes) away from an original movie, and who on earth reads "all the world's super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers - including mad science, magic and mind control - to eliminate all the world's superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image" and thinks that "this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself". Twats.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Find Out What's Next On Lost, Smallville, Jericho and Doctor Who]]> According to the cinema trailer Beernard Cribbins 9the newspaper seller) is actually her grandad

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Morgan Freeman Is The Obi-Wan Of Gun-Fu]]> before i saw the trailer i would have put this as the flop of the year because it bears so little resemblance to the comic that they are advertising it as being from, but now well it might be a big hit. As long as they are prepared for every review in every scifi and comic mag to start with the complaint that it bears no relation to the comic that it is based on.
My main worry is the fact that it might just be too cool visuals without any bother to worry about a script, after all the comic was so good that changing so much the writers will have to justify every change.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Is The End Near For David Tennant On Doctor Who?]]> I wont believe any rumours about david Tennant leaving until his dad tells the Paisley daily Express about it, which is the local paper which generally has up to sdate news from the families of DT and Paolo Nuttini and anyone else famous from Paisley.
And I cant quite see them getting rid of half the cast of Torchwood they would be as well creating a new series as doing that especially if they are adding MArtha to the mix.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Get Ready To Go Back To Witch Mountain, Again]]> The Rock confirmed on Jonathon ross on BBC on Friday that he is starring in witch Mountain.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Get Ready For James Cameron's Space War]]> Torchwood Spoilers from last nights episodes:
When Jack was a kid he and his kid brother were playing when an unknown enemy attacked and his father told him to keep hold of gray (his brother), he didn't and at some point let go and Gray disappeared, his father died in the same attack.
And the big spoiler:
Owen is killed at the end of Reset.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Doctor Who And Torchwood May Interbreed]]> Having seen last nights Torchwood featuring Martha Jones I can say that it could actually work. She fitted perfectly into the world of Torchwood, Owen Flirted with her, gwen chatted about being the only two women in the world Jack hasn't (does this mean he and tosh?) etc, although curiously The Doctor was never specifically mentioned.
It would definetely be interesting to have them both meet, and remember Tosh did appear in Doctor Who before (Aliens of London)

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Can Flash Gordon Be Saved?]]> Now I cant wait to see this show when it hits The UK next month, SCiFi over here has been advertising it with the Queen theme song and claiming it amongst there must watch new shows.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Buddhist Kung-Fu Cops Fight Crime in 2012 London]]> And here is a quick review.
Actually quite good, it actually looks like a comic book for a change, none of that ultra realism that you usually get in comic book translations, it does suffer from the curse of origin stories leaving the third act to have the actual plot but it was a lot more well fun than i expected.
The Feebles themselves are great creations, and because they are done by prosthetics we get to see a lot of them, Whitey Action looks good in hotpants and has fun with the role, and terry phoo is good a the kung phoo, especially the shaolin wedgie.
Good Bits:
Whiteys initial reaction to the magic hotpants, simply having the room filled with stuff was a brilliant idea, especially her reaction to pulling a giant easter egg.
Terry Phoos cupboard, i know obvious gag but still funny.
Carl weathers playing basketball with the feebles head
The bouncers wearing mexican wrestler masks, always good
Bad points:
All the posh characters (Harry Wills lady Antonia) were so far beyond caricature it bordered on cant be arsed

ON the whole I seriously hope it gets to a full series, roll on the competition (next week its a drama about a werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost sharing a flat)

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on Buddhist Kung-Fu Cops Fight Crime in 2012 London]]> Been watching the trailers for the last week (heavily advertised on BBC) and really looking forward to it tonight. And that is Ray Winstones daughter in it.

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on A New Generation of Superold People, Created Without Genetic Tinkering]]> Don't smoke, eat bizarre, (sausages in lemon sauce anyone), can kick on a light switch just so I can live long enough to spend all my money on really big nappies, oh yeah really looking forward to 2060

]]> <![CDATA[kevinjwoods commented on The Abomination Has Weird Feet In Hulk Movie]]> If other characters from Doctor Who are in Torchwood, and Martha is coming in from UNIT in tomorrows episode, then could it mean oh yes i beg you The Return of The Brigadier, Nicholas Courtney appear in qui9te a few shows last year so he is still in the business.
Oh and in this weeks radio Times (congrats on getting a mention in it BTW) it says the team recovers from the shock of something happening in MArthas first episode (current rumour Owen turns into a weevil for 3 episodes)
