“Mad euro director, Americam remake, Stephen King, gotta be a dud”
If you absolutely can, get Lars Von Trier’s The Kingdom (Riget) out on video. Have you done that yet? Do it now! Go.

‘These people aren’t being rational’
Article by, arch curmudgeon, Stephen Moss in today’s Guardian (G2) about the “Friends of Radio 3”, as linked to by Tom (below). It covers the BBC’s reaction and exposes th[…]

Landspeed record broken
For data. Sorry. This was way below my “level” on slashdot (how does that level thing work?), so it’s a bit out of date – it happened last month if you look at the history of this competition.

Survivors Series 2 finally released on DVD

Prog Rocking!
Tom Allen’s 2000AD stuff. So much here if you root around in this sticky (fwd/back navigation acts oddly for me) fortunecity site. There’s even a Crisis timeline, details of the Prog 2000 extravaganza (which I never saw), li[…]
