Rant: Monthly Dee-Lights (6/21)

Posted on 03/07/2021 by Dee CrowSeer

Just a quick note of some of the funnest content I consumed last month (in no particular order): – I’ve been working my way through the videos of a Japanese beat combo called Band-Maid, after overlooking them for far too … Continue reading →

Rant: Monthly Dee-Lights (2/21)

Posted on 01/03/2021 by Dee CrowSeer

Just a quick note of some of the funnest content I consumed last month (in no particular order): – Awkwafina appeared on a socially-distanced episode of Hot Ones, “the show with hot questions, and even hotter wings”, where guests are … Continue reading →

Rant: “TV Choice” / “Little Birds”

Posted on 02/08/2020 by Dee CrowSeer

Although my appreciation for Juno Temple’s talent has never waned, in the past couple years she’s tended to gravitate towards projects that are of far less interest to me personally… and in my (faulty) mind I’ve come to associate her … Continue reading →

Happy Batday!

Posted on 21/09/2019 by Dee CrowSeer

Apparently today marks the 80th Anniversary of Batman’s first published appearance, in Detective Comics #27 (1939)*, courtesy of creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger… since then he’s become pretty much ubiquitous across all media, and all age-groups, and I say … Continue reading →

Darling Of The Deathlings

Posted on 21/07/2019 by Dee CrowSeer

A recommendation from a friend has led to me becoming hooked on a surprisingly warm and high-spirited cadaver-centric webseries called Ask A Mortician, hosted by the insanely adorable Caitlin Doughty, who is nobly striving to reclaim the word “morbid” and … Continue reading →

W.T.F. R.L.!?

Posted on 08/04/2019 by Dee CrowSeer

Having exhausted/thoroughly-enjoyed all of the videos on Jenny Nicholson’s main YouTube channel, I started exploring some of her “deeper cuts”, such as Star-Wars-themed-talk-show Millennial Falcon and “fake fangirl” skit trilogy Con Artists, which have now led to me developing a … Continue reading →

BFCC 3/19

Posted on 18/03/2019 by Dee CrowSeer

Once more unto the (geeky) breach, dear friends… I booked my ticket for last weekend’s Film & Comic Con when Indira Varma was still listed as a guest, but sadly she cancelled due to “work commitments”, for the second time … Continue reading →

R.I.P. William Goldman (1931 – 2018)

Posted on 17/11/2018 by Dee CrowSeer

Sad to say, veteran screenwriter William Goldman has passed into the infinite, at age 87. Besides winning shiny awards (and critical plaudits) for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and All the President’s Men (1976), he also won the … Continue reading →

HMD 2018

Posted on 27/01/2018 by Dee CrowSeer

Yesterday I slouched into town for the annual Holocaust Memorial Day service, which is rather unfortunately held in an exposed park near the train-tracks, meaning that speakers are often drowned-out/interrupted by the sound of passing locomotives. Symbolic, or just annoying… … Continue reading →

Deck The Halls With Bots

Posted on 24/12/2017 by Dee CrowSeer

I only discovered the surreal comedy-genius of Botnik Studios a couple days ago, via an article in The Guardian, but the site’s already given my belly-muscles a serious work-out (which I’m very grateful for, considering all the cheese and cakes … Continue reading →
