Jadoo Chile

Posted on 31/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

This coming Tuesday, Amara Karan’s new film Jadoo will premiere in the magical, movie-making metropolis that is the city of Leicester (where its story of feuding, foodie families is set), before rolling out across the nation on the 6th of September. … Continue reading →

The FBI’s Most Unwanted 10: Drawing It Out

Posted on 28/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

When I impulsively picked up that first X-Files boxset, I had no idea that these blog posts would (kinda) coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first TV episode airing in the States (Sept 10th, 1993), and also the launch … Continue reading →

The FBI’s Most Unwanted 9.5: What’s Up, Doc?

Posted on 27/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains two-headed doggies and SPOILERS!!!] As I said when I began this folly, what frustrates me most about The X Files as a TV series is that the writers never seemed to accept that they were terrible at writing long-term … Continue reading →

“This Is A Bust!” “No…”

Posted on 26/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

While tracking down the secret, unseen Big Bang Theory pilot, I also stumbled on the unaired pilot of The Elvira Show (1993), which some kind souls have posted on YouTube for posterity. The show stars Cassandra Peterson (aka ‘Elvira’) and … Continue reading →

TBBT S0E00: “The Ass-Man Alternative”

Posted on 25/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

Checking out Vernee Watson’s resume t’other day, I discovered that she was one of only three actors to appear in both The Big Bang Theory’s unaired pilot and the series proper, as we know it. Intrigued, I tracked down a … Continue reading →

Mild Mest

Posted on 24/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

As we all know, humour is totally subjective, and when an opinionated blogger like myself sneers that something “isn’t funny”, what they really mean is “I didn’t find it funny, but others might”… because there’s no objective way to measure “funniness”, … Continue reading →

The FBI’s Most Unwanted 9: Bring Me Spanky

Posted on 22/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains bioluminescent shark guts and SPOILERS!!!] Sigh… what can I say about the ninth season of The X Files? Scully was side-lined into a teaching job, and spent most of her screen time fretting over her miracle-baby, before deciding to … Continue reading →

White Out

Posted on 21/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

Apparently the BBC took my harsh assessment of The White Queen to heart, and have now gone to the rather extreme measure of “axing” the show! Technically it was never meant to continue as an ongoing series, but if it … Continue reading →

Inmates & Lifemates

Posted on 20/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains a human-size gerbil-wheel and SPOILERS!!!] Sunday also saw the season six finale of True Blood, which somehow managed to spoil all of the good work that had come before it, with an ill-conceived, mid-episode time-jump. Gah! This cheat was … Continue reading →

Hale, The Red Queen!

Posted on 19/08/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

It is, of course, terribly unfair to measure the BBC’s The White Queen (which ended last night) against HBO’s Game of Thrones, since one purports to be a serious historical drama, while the other is fictional Fantasy… but I was … Continue reading →
