On Saturday night I came to the end of a weekly tradition. My beloved Take Me Out had its last show of the series. Although it didn't say it would be back for another series, surely it will be... hopefully... don't make me punch you, ITV... BRING IT BACK!

Now...

This week James Cameron broke the record for reaching the deepest depth of the ocean. This got me thinking.

Mainly it was whether he saw any aquatic mole-people down there? I then thought maybe the (scientific???) pressure down there would be so immense that it would make it...

You could hear the machinery rumbling months ago. Confectionary stands started popping up everywhere; the reds and greens of Christmas were replaced by whites and yellows. Images and effigies of a rotund man in red overalls were being replaced by a jolly rabbit in a tenuous-figurehead changing of the guard....

So, I was on the interweb, checking out the DOW futures to see how the I.P.O in Singapore will affect my portfolio (and watching McFly videos) when I decided to check out some trailers for upcoming feature films.

I like to think of myself as a film buff, always...

If you have been conscious recently you will in no doubt realise that Christmas is coming.
