AFTER THE SILENCE FALLS…
Fandom implodes. So let’s see what they’re all talking about over the webs…
FIRST RETURN:
Quality stuff from ’84. Only wish I knew where on the Internet I found it… (sorry)
MOFF ON TWITTER – WHAT A GOOD IDEA! OR IS IT? TWEET TWEET…
Yeeah. After proclaiming that he doesn’t browse the forums any more does it make much sense for an already busy man ( i.e. Steven ‘Two Shows” Moffat) to allow his followers, detractors and petitioners 24-7 access to his In box, 120 letters a time?
And why does he look so much like his son, eh? Eh? Cloning or self-interview by time travel?
WELCOME FLOYD!
Did anyone notice a new NZDWFCMBTSVUB40/apple contributor to hit our shores recently? Who? Well, the clue’s here: Mr Floyd Kermode, infamous Antipodean serial corresponder with the Judge Dredd megazine and its current editor (not that) Matt Smith. A lovely chap, active on the (late, lamented) 2000ADReview board and overdue a decent welcome in our back yard. Welcome, cobber!
THE DALEK ROCKS!
Proof that there’s life beyond the Dalek teasmaid in the land of miniature kit bashers? Well, how’s this for an improvement on the new design Dalek?
THE BALLAD OF SYL-BO BAGGINS
So is it true or is it false? Is it rue or false? The rumour/speculation/flim-flam that the next ‘hasn’t aged in a day’ Bilbo Baggins will be played by none other than the Seventh Doctor has resurfaced amid tales of Peter Jackson ‘scouting’ for actors whilst abroad (and entertaining Brad Pitt in Wellington at the same time?) It’s a nice thought – particularly so to think that a couple of years back some form of loose dress rehearsal could have been played whilst McCoy and Sir Ian McKellan were visiting Jackson while here for Lear (Sir Ian even stayed in Bag End!), but is it true? Time will tell. It’s a little disconcerting though to see evidence to the affirmative trotted out by Tolkein fans based on that twenty-two year old publicity shot from Ghost Light…
AND FINALLY…
Madness!
