Sherlock-U-Like?

Posted on 26/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

Last night saw the debut airing of Sherlock, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’s “bold updating” of the eponymous sleuth to contemporary London. Although it’s already getting a fair amount of praise, and could well prove very popular, I’m afraid I … Continue reading →

Emin In The News!

Posted on 24/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

A couple of peculiar, non-Art related news stories about Tracey Emin have cropped up this month… First of all, she’s apparently had breast reduction surgery… well, according to The Mirror, anyway. “I was a 34G. I lost a stone on the … Continue reading →

The Weepiest Witch

Posted on 17/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

I should have learned by now that there’s no such thing as “truth in advertising” when it comes to the blurb on the back of B-movie DVD covers… but I still find myself surprised by how inaccurately their synopses actually … Continue reading →

Crock?

Posted on 15/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

I’d never seen any of the flicks in the Leprechaun horror franchise before, so perhaps it was silly of me to start with the sixth instalment, Back 2 Tha Hood, but it had too good/bad a premise to pass up. … Continue reading →

Hippy Dippy

Posted on 13/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

Spaced and Hippies both debuted in 1999, and both starred a plucky young actor by the name of Simon Pegg… but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. In the former, he plays a bitter and cynical comic book artist, … Continue reading →

Nutmeg lives!

Posted on 12/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

Many years ago, I wrote a series of pulp sci-fi detective stories, starring a character called Nutmeg Rodriguez. I was on a big M-Rod kick at the time, so for the illustrations I basically just drew her character from GirlFight, … Continue reading →

“What’s Wrong With Being Sexy?”

Posted on 10/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

One of my favourite comedy shows… in fact, one of the few truly unmissable shows currently on air… The Daily Show, came in for a bit of a kicking recently regarding its Feminist credentials, or lack thereof. I don’t want … Continue reading →

Maya, May I?

Posted on 09/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

A few years back, I managed to wean myself off buying magazines… mainly because the price of s/hand DVDs and CDs dropped so drastically, and it became so much easier to find news and reviews of bands and films online … Continue reading →

Hell Hole

Posted on 07/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

Hard to believe, but there was once a time when Thora Birch was a bigger star than Scarlett Johansson. That time, sadly, is long gone now, but her portrayal of ‘Enid’ in Ghost World will live on forever in my … Continue reading →

Kewt Kali

Posted on 03/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

Stumbled over this super-cute cartoon of the Goddess Kali, drawn by Sanjay Patel, a supervising animator and storyboard artist at Pixar Animation Studios. According to his official website, Ghee Happy, his aim is to “celebrate Indian mythology and culture thru … Continue reading →
