R.I.P. Diana Rigg (1938 – 2020)

Posted on 11/09/2020 by Dee CrowSeer

Sadly, iconic action-heroine Diana Rigg has passed away, at the age of 82. Although she delivered a wickedly-wry performance as ‘Lady Olenna Tyrell’ in Game of Thrones (S3-S7), I’ll always remember her most fondly as slinky secret-agent ‘Emma Peel’ in … Continue reading →

Dickie Finders

Posted on 25/09/2019 by Dee CrowSeer

I’ve fallen woefully behind with the fifth “season” of Peaky Blinders, and have only just seen the third episode… which [NO SPOILERS!] opened with a scene starring Kate Dickie as the overbearing “Mother Superior” of an orphanage, visited by ‘Tommy’ … Continue reading →

Posted on 29/05/2019 by Dee CrowSeer

Back in the day, I would have been chomping-at-the-bit to bash out a feverish blog post about the latest season of Game of Thrones… but this time around, ehhh, not so much. According to the notes I made after each … Continue reading →

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 →

Callistriumph

Posted on 22/09/2018 by Dee CrowSeer

Well, the “USS Callister” episode of Black Mirror boldly went and won a handful of Emmys last week, for its Outstanding Writing (William Bridges & Charlie Brooker), Single-Camera Picture Editing (Selina Macarthur), Sound Editing, and overall Television Movie-ness. Hurrah! It … Continue reading →

Posted on 01/09/2017 by Dee CrowSeer

BFCC ’17

Posted on 28/08/2017 by Dee CrowSeer

Ah, yes… another year, another Bournemouth Film & Comic Con. Hurrah! Sadly the “comics” element seems to be pretty nominal at this point, as there wasn’t a single comic-book-related guest this time around, and only one-and-a-half stalls selling back issues … Continue reading →
