Paul - Torchwood Children of Earth blew me away - I've been meaning to post about it for a while now but haven't got around to it yet. Am also nervous of posting spoilers, to be honest. Hopefully I'll get something written about it before I get enveloped by MIFF at the end of the week...

A little vegetable on the lapel might lift it a little me thinks.

I hope there is no Doctor romancing though, she is gorgeous. When I saw a picture of them together I thought cute couple, and then oh dear new companion, I hope there is no TARDIS loving. I wasnt impressed when they created the second Doctor in S4 so Rose could have a happy ending. Thumbs down to TARDIS loving.

Torchwood - dont worry about spoilers, tell us what you think abuot CoE.

Why someone like Captn J didnt have a backup hub had me scratching my head though.

I wonder if they will do another series in a few years post Gwen baby, it might be interesting to see her re-build Torchwood without Jack.

He wears braces too, in a colour that matches the bow tie. Oh, swoon!

*facepalm* he looks like a twelve year-old trying to be a 22 year-old geeky professor.

Seriously, they both look like kids though, ridiculous. He's 26, he's already the youngest doctor ever, don't make it worse by making him a hormonal tween!

Idk, maybe his look will grow on me, after all when first saw Christopher Eccelesten I went o.O ew. And when David Tennant was revealed as the almighty X I also went "O.O NO!! Ew! Bring bake Chris! That's so wrong!" So who knows maybe in a short time I'll be saying the same things about Matt Smith's replacement. But boots with a tweed jacket? say wha-? Converse+Suit=New and catchy, Celery+Suit=70's and Freaky, Tweed JacketxBowtie+BOOTS= No fashion sense at all.

I do have to say, he has some very big shoes to fill. I think David Tennant will always be "my doctor"

Recent Call of Cthulhu work for the Miskatonic Repository

The last time I posted on this poor, neglected blog was in August 2023, and a lot has happened since then - I've been meaning to blog about it for ages, but time got away from me. So, consider this post a quick catch-up on some of the creative work I've been doing over the last 12 months or so. I say quick, but given I'm an all or nothing kinda of guy, let's see how long I write for this evening and how much detail I go into, shall we? Last year, starting on Friday June 8th and continuing on over the weekend, I was a Guest of Honour at the innaugural Chaosium Con Australia ; a celebration of the games published by Chaosium Inc , a company whose work I've long admired and was once a regular contributor to, especially their game of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, Call of Cthulhu , which I first encountered in 1984; I also contributed significantly to Chaosium's Stormbringer and Elric! game lines, roleplaying games based on the work of enormously influential Englis...

Doing the Beats: Kerouac, sexuality and On the Road

Image
The long-awaited film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s ground-breaking novel presents the perfect opportunity to re-examine the lives of the Beat Generation, writes Richard Watts. It’s not hyperbole to say that the Beat Generation – a small coterie of writers who met up in New York City in the spring of 1944 – changed the world. Without their individual quests for personal freedoms – a quest for sex and drugs before there was rock and roll; a quest which spawned the western world’s first counter-culture, the beatniks – the hippy movement of the Sixties would never have happened, and punk would have been a quiet snarl rather than a global reaction. Of all the Beat Generation writers, Jack Kerouac, author of the autobiographical beatnik bible, On the Road , is unequivocally the most famous. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1922, to working class French-Canadian parents, Kerouac aspired to be a writer from a young age, though he was also a keen football player. Indeed, it ...

The streets of old Fitzroy

Image
I've lived in Fitzroy for 14 years, and long before I moved here spent some formative moment in its pubs and terrace houses. I have an unpublished novel that set's in Fitzroy in the 1940s (originally it was set in the 1950s but I've realised it was the wrong period). I love this suburb, even as it changes before my eyes, which is why I love articles and photographs and stories of its past.   From the Herald-Sun , here's a series of images of the old inner city slums that once characterised much of Fitzroy. And from The Age just yesterday, here's an article about a photographer who was documenting the vanishing post-war Fitzroy culture in 1973-74.  Happy reading. And maybe allow Dan Sultan to provide you with a soundtrack?
