Breaking Wind!

This is one of those rare occasions where I pay homage to a work of genius...that I haven't actually seen. "Breaking Bad" has the kind of reviews/universal love that money cannot buy.
Vince Gilligan, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul et al, are all deemed to be working at the top of their game and producing TV gold...so who am I to argue.
It will have to be a "Boxed Set Binge" for me at some point in the future.

TRULY DEFECTIVE!

Absolutely loving HBO's "True Detective", it's intense mood of brooding menace totally personified by it's two stellar leads. Both Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson shine in this superbly written series: Harrelson's Hart is a seething mass of contradictions while McConaughey's Cohle mesmerises and terrifies like a rattlesnake in the sun. I

cannot wait to see how this pans out...massive props to all involved particularly Nic Pizzolatto (Creator/Writer) and Cary Joji Fukunaga (Director) for creating an instant classic.

Naturally I had to parody it (see above) only in the most gentle terms...natch!

Alright, alright, alright...

BatFleck vs Twitter!

Last Summer's "End of Days" reaction to Ben Affleck's "Batman" casting blew my mind. I am a fully paid up member of the comic geek community, and yet the vitriol poured on Mr Affleck made me ashamed to be in the same universe as these bozo's.

Ben Affleck is an intelligent, thoughtful actor who has made a couple of bum movies...so what. He will CRUSH THIS ROLE, after "Superman vs Batman" bow's next Summer all the haters and trolls will dine on humble pie, as they will be forced to acknowledge a near definitive portrayal of Bob Kane, pardon me, Bill Finger's Dark Avenger.

Although I'm a Marvel boy at heart I can see this movie rockin' multiplex's across the globe to great effect. Zack Snyder is a smart cookie who gave Superman his cojones back in "Man of Steel". So say it with me "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...BatFleck!!".
