Skins: A shower of bastards?
“Pah! Nuts to continuity! We don’t want it to be believable, we want it to be edgy and cool! Who needs character motivation anyway?! As long as they smoke a lot and remain unwashed then people won’t care that we’re just making it up as we go along!”
Possibly a direct quote from the head writer of Skins.
A fox, not unlike this one was completely f**ked up by some chickens this week.
It was reported as the light hearted animal related story that usually concludes the 6 o’clock news, but this was no cliché cat up a tree, or urban badger gets a PHD drivel that we are accustomed to as we finish our dinner. No. On the 3rd of March 2010 viewers in the south of England were told a tale of a unique instance of inter species homicide; sometime in the early hours of the morning a fox was killed by a gang of chickens as it entered their coup…
Buy this game and kick endangered species in their loveable and scarce faces.
“The King of Iron Fist Tournament. Enter the… TEH-KENNN”
This little phrase is among my earliest memories of video games. After punching, kicking and throwing your way through eight matches of gruelling martial arts combat and beating up a big, hairy, flying troll at the end (not Bill Bailey with wings, in case you were wondering), the fight announcer would speak this line, pronounce the name of the game in a funny way, and the Tekken 3 credits would roll.
Danny Glover. A great guy.
Another one?! Really?! Well, yes apparently. That’s right, Jigsaw is back once again to teach his victims the value of life by making them fight for it, even though he has been dead for two whole films (this guy really planned ahead). With twists behind twists, elaborate traps and more blood than any body has a right to hold the SAW franchise has had up clenching our buttcheeks and mouthing ‘ooh, right in the face’ since 2004 but will this new installment be the one to put an end to all of this gorenography? I very much doubt it.
"Look Doctor! Russell T. Davies has created another alien that we shouldn't give a shit about! Quick into the TARDIS before it says nothing of interest!"
Right well that’s it. David Tennant’s final episodes have come, and by the end of the two hours and a bit series finale there will literally be someone stepping into his shoes as Matt Smith makes his long awaited and much discussed debut as the 11th Doctor. These last 2 episodes are also the final episode written by head writer and producer Russell T. Davies who was responsible for the show returning to our screens back in 2005. How will the Tenth Doctor’s final hours fare? Will it be Tennant’s finest moments or will it suffer from the usual problems that plague a series ender that is written by T. Davies?
The answer is both.
