Alright, cheers for the info. I remember watching Zombie Flesh Eaters the day that the London Bombings happened. I'd had far too much to drink and thought zombies may cheer me up. They didn't. And I remember thinking is it the alcohol in my system, or do they occasionally switch languages...

Wikipedia, matey. I got all the answers I wanted in about 10 minutes. And I can safely say we missed very, very little.

I'm relatively new to intensive fantasy. I've read Hobb and Tolkien, but up until a year ago my fantasy focus was more around Robert Rankin, Jasper Fforde, and the occasional Pratchett. I've only recently read GRRM (which I'm grateful for. I'm not great at re-reading books and I would have...

j. d. Just to clarify - Zombie and Zombie 2 are the same film, and Zombie Flesh Eaters is a separate film. Is that right?

I suppose this sort of relates to a discussion I had with a friend a little while ago. Our biggest issue as humans at the moment is the fact that we are smart, but really narrow-minded and short-sighted at the same time. We're a complete hypocrisy. Since we started venturing out of caves we've...

Let's hope they aren't owned by little old ladies feeding the homeless homemade pie. There will be hell to pay!

If it's on Wiki, it must be true! I have a lot of respect for Wikipedia, despite some of the questionable entries and facts they have. But I suppose that's what happens when the so-called general public are free to make alterations. I've seen a couple of separate claims about Michael Denham...

We did the right thing. I have no regrets whatsoever.

Watched How To Train Your Dragon last night. It was a cute flick. I enjoyed the way they gave different dragons different animal-like qualities.

True, True. They don't have a very solid case but they can still kick up a stink about it and make the cafe owners' lives miserable. Greed isn't necessarily limited to financial gain in my view, so I still see this as a form of greed. It's an easily avoidable and harmless situation, yet the...

Cheers for the recommendation Gollum. I've been looking at buying a couple of his audio-books for a while now, but I'll make it more of a priority.

Greedy, greedy corporations. I do hope they drop this lawsuit. If Tolkien could see them now, how very sad he would be. "They think we're this big empire, but we're just a cafe." First-time business owners learning the ropes and they get a letter like that through the post.

Indeed! It's always lovely to hear a master storyteller is also a top bloke.

Completely understandable LotR-wise. Bordom can set in amidst the epic drama that unfolds. It didn't for me, but I can see how this could happen. It's not Dan Brown's books themselves that necessarily bother me. His books are okay. But I received no more pleasure out of reading them than...

7 Seasons on and I'm still loving this show. I'm enjoying this season more than the previous one, despite some wonderful stand along episodes last year. I do miss Misha Collins. That man is just hilarious, on screen and off. I do hope he pops back soon. I'm glad Sasquatch Sam is...

This took me immediately to the archery practice section in Zelda. The Hobbit took me a couple of attempts before it grabbed me, and I adored the Rings trilogy. But I can completely understand why many dislike it so much. Each to their own right? If we were all the same, some authors would...

Re: Rodders & Gollum. I read my first Gaiman earlier this year (The Graveyard Book) after putting off his works for a long time. I've now read Anansi Boys and Neverwhere and am itching to pick up American Gods. Great author, wonderful storyteller. He has the ability to make his books...

I suppose it can go one of two ways, depending on the way the story progresses. Aside from flashbacks, bringing Mitchell's character back would cheapen it for me. As for George, I don't really see how his character will develop any more than it already has. But there's still potential for...

Half way through The Path of Daggers I gave up on the Wheel of Time. I would class this as the worst fantasy book I've read up until now, purely because it was within those pages that I realised I wasn't going to finish the series, and that I'd just wasted hours and hours in a world that I...

Also, there's a US version. Re-made to be canceled. It's dreadful.
