In an effort to understand Normeo’s obsession with zombies and to turn myself into a nervous wreck, my last few weekends have been somewhat zombie-riffic. Here’s a quick timeline of what I did…

Sunday August 24th. Watched the modern version of Dawn of the Dead and also I Am Legend. Late at night. In total darkness.
Friday August 29th. [...]

As you are all aware, both myself and Mr Penge are hotbeds of environmental awareness. Many the night have we discussed all things ‘green’ whilst sipping weak lemon drink here at Randomlinkage Manor. Accordingly our collective interest was sparked by the UK’s first ever Energy Saving Day. The basis for the initiative was simple, tens [...]

The Daily Show reports on the terrifyingly real horror that will be caused by North America’s decision to alter Daylight Savings Time:

It was news to me, but the world has a ‘Doomsday Clock’, which is a clock that armageddon-fearing doom-loving scientists use to measure just how close the end of the world is. As it stands, the clock is currently at 7 minutes to midnight, midnight being atomisation time.

Behold, Shit Britain.

Cliff Curtis – Whale Rider, Collateral Damage, Training Day, Three Kings, Deep Rising, Once Were Warriors
Chris Evans – No, not that one. This one’s the only [...]

If you haven’t seen the film Ghostbusters, then you obviously live under a bridge. In it, the Ghostbusters are asked to choose the form of the Destructor, an evil being that will take the guise of whatever they think of and then destroy all of mankind. In the end, one of the Ghostbusters thinks of the [...]

Well this is reassuring. Simply give average Americans a map, ask them where the US should invade next and then point a camera at them.
This actually makes George Bush Jr. look pretty damn sensible.

I can’t decide what’s more appalling and the reduces my faith in humanity more.

The fact that Oliver Stone is directing a movie about 9/11 starring Nicholas Cage, (as someone has already suggested, the trailer will end with a shot of cage diving toward the camera as flaming wreckage lands behind him).
The Ain’t It Cool News [...]

Do not panic, Bruce Willis is on standby.
