About
Hello! I'm an English tween walking the fine line between wit and breathless stupidity. I'm an aspiring screenwriter, novelist and, above all else, pretentious dimwit.

I used to blog about video-games until I took an arrow to the knee HAHAHAHAH AHAHAHA HAHA HAHAH HAHA HAHA no. I sometimes post on my DTOID blog when I have a spare few seconds.

I've written a few books about films and games including a full-scale film theory exploration of Blade Runner. All my thingies can be found here.

My main blog is Blogossus. I do flips and stuff.

My old blog can be found hither.

On film:
5/Empire Strikes Back
4/Groundhog Day
3/Pulp Fiction
2/Blade Runner
1/2001: A Space Odyssey

Kubrick, Scorsese, Tarantino, Nolan, Fincher, Mendes, Coen Bros, Spielberg, Hitchcock, de Palma.

Cage, Daniel-Day Lewis, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L Jackson, Carrey, Murray.

I generally act pretentious and my usual British self when it comes to film. Don't worry. It's only for the next 100 years.

Thor: The Dark World poster released

Review: Oblivion

A hard-boiled science-fiction in this day and age is somewhat hard to come by. We've had the cerebral Inception, among others, but nothing truly pure sci-fi for some time. Oblivion then is, at the very least, a prom...   more
