But at the same time, while she was nice to look at - and should have been wearing a space-bikini - the acting was terrible...until she died. But then, she's in the cast for next week. So we'll see.
The acting was not too bad, she played an idiot well.

1: Remember me, Harlan Coben.
I will never get that time back. The story and characterisation just makes me angry.
2: By the light of the moon, Dean Koontz.
One to avoid.
3: Witch Star, James Clemens.
Spend the first four books creating a fresh and original world and mythology then destroy it with mundanity in the last book. Vey disappointing.
4: The Beast House, Richard Laymon.
The world of books is not reduced with his passing. Harsh, but true.
5.Brave New World, Huxley.
No, just no.

It was cool, but I wish it held back some info. It gave too much away!

Its a side effect of mass cloning?
-
I liked the
"are you my mummy"
bit.
-
The creature feature was a tad pants, but the actual story and interaction was solid. A good start methinks.

Inspired by the "whats the last thread you saw at the flicks", what is the best movie you have watched at the cinema?
Mine would probably have to be the matrix, but then the lord of the rings trilogy are runners up.
Whats yours?

Well they should! There's nothing to stop you watching it on BBC2 again the following week.
Thats neither here nor there.

I like to watch the one episode a week, I avoid spoilers but I do like to talk about the one aired on bbc2.
Not everyone watches the next one on bbc3.

The actual torchwood bits were a tad boring but the spooky parts were good. I like the open ended conclusion to the bad guy, like the glove from season one.

The Face is a really good book, a very entertaining read.
-
Looking to be a very good spooky episode tonnight.
-
Just finished reading Y the last man. Its a very good GN, which I think lots of people will love.
-
Oh I know that, been watching dr who since I was toderling, they made a huge point of him not breathing but overlooked the bog fact that he was talking.
A tad lazy.

I think for the time it was astounding, its important to remember that Dracula is a love story with aspects of horror. If you tackle it with that in mind, the book reads easier.

If hes talking why cant he do mouth to mouth?
-
Ooooooh World War Hulk is out in tpb and so are 52 parts3 and 4. I'll be shopping tomorrow....
-
Sugarpuffs?
-
Green Lantern Rebirth is a great yarn, when Sinestro Corps comes out in tpb then that'll be worth picking up too.

You can see HPL's influence in countless modern horror writers. Stephen King especially, the book IT, Needful things (yog-sothoth) and many others.
Any story that features the classic "things that should not be" or beings from beyound reality, space and time are somewhat influenced.
From Conan through to john Carpenters the thing, HPL spawned a whole new form of horror.

Listen to Tool.
That is all.

Torrents are fine and safe, although still a bit naughty copywrite wise..
-
I liked the bed side manner comment, made me giggle.

I think they did an okay job on adapting it although it seems quite a bit of the anti religion parts were taken out although not all.
Which is interesting, considering the books are not anti religion.
Unfinished books.. will you pick them up again?

If I put the book down and leave it, I very rarely go back. It has to be dire to stop me reading in the first place - By the light of the moon, D. Koontz - I'm looking at you.
