Netflix is backwards
notasenator:
With Starz Play going especially, it means that Instant Watch is better for TV series, and the DVD delivery is better for movies.
It shouldn’t be like that. Good movies should be on demand for those times when you are sick at home and think “Hey, I want to watch a good movie” and the TV series are best delivered in chunks on DVD so you don’t sit at home and watch 40 episodes of...

I hate Wells Fargo today.
They’ve charged me two $35 overdraft fees. That’s fine, I am overdrawn - by $65. Remove those fees and I’m in the black to the tune of five bucks and change.
So why have they charged me the fees? Well, judging by the descriptions, it looks like I have two payments that are due to be taken out of my account at some indeterminate point in the future. They’re not showing as...

Helen: Honestly, I am so done with Sherlock fandom. I'm past the point where I'm angry with them and now I'm just laughing.
Ben: Now you know how I feel about Doctor Who fandom all the time.

If you’re ever not sure about what will happen to CBS’ Elementary or have doubts about the quality, do yourself a favour: Go out and rent or buy The TV Set. It’s a brilliant, frank and, at times, uncomfortable look at the making of an American TV pilot and everything that changes from script, to shooting, to screen, to promotion.
TV shows, particularly American shows, go through...

Where are people even getting this “She’s not in the army, she’s not a doctor” stuff from, anyway? E! Online says this:
The show follows Holmes fresh out of rehab and living with his sober companion Joan Watson, who is a former surgeon who lost her license after a patient died.
Besides which, this is a fucking pilot. A pilot. Do you know how many shows make it past...

“Tumblr is shitting its pants over Lucy Liu as Watson. The show isn’t even...”

What do you do with a cube storage set? Create a bunny mansion of course.
That is is one spectacular bunny mansion.

I feel like a bad Tumblr user because I don’t have a folder full of GIFs to express my emotional response to a given post.

TV Is Broken
minimalmac:
Recently, while on vacation in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and visiting family, we stayed at my sister’s house. She was kind enough to let us have her place while she found accommodations elsewhere. She moved in to this place herself not too long ago and was proud to point out to us the brand new, gigantic, flat-panel television and full Cable TV package she purchased slightly before...

I’ve now added an “Upcoming Appearances” sidebar to my main site. I’d add one here, but the theme I’m using isn’t particularly custom HTML friendly.

If you’re in or near the Nashville, Tennessee area and want to call me an untalented hack face-to-face, you may well get the opportunity to do so come October.
Just throwing this out there.

Help Fund A Second Season for Moon Cycles! →
strangelikethat:
Hey folks, I have been invited to join the cast of Moon Cycles for its second season, but nothing can happen until we reach our humble goal of $3000 worth of funding. It’s a show all about werewolves, and I am over the moon (pardon the pun) to be asked to join the cast. Please help make this happen for me and the others involved.
If you can’t donate, at least pass it along. As...

No More Two-Parters in Doctor Who? Why I Don't...
WARNING: The following post contains spoilers for Doctor Who’s sixth series. You have been warned. I should also point out that, despite my employers’ connections with the BBC, I have zero foreknowledge of Series 7.
Oh no! Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat rocked the very foundation of the show by announcing way back in December that there probably won’t be any two-part...

My Bucket List, in No Particular Order
Write an episode of Red Dwarf, or alternatively a tie-in novel or comic of some description.
Write, and possibly appear in, an episode of Doctor Who.
Give Stephen Fry a hug.
Sit in a De Lorean.
See Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Muse and The Feeling perform live.
Have lunch with Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.
There’s probably more but this is all I can think of right now.

My Company Car
hawkstudios:
Spent two days putting the tardis (1:1 scale) together with Ben, now I have an awesome view from my desk.
It’s true - our office has a TARDIS now. TARDISes are cool.

It's Old Outside, There's No Kind of Atmosphere...

So, Red Dwarf started 24 years ago today.
Yup.
I’m very nearly two years older than my all-time favourite TV show.

FOR SALE: Theme Park Memory Kit
Can’t afford to go to a theme park? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. While you may never be able to go to a theme park yourself thanks to prohibitively expensive tickets and inordinately pricey in-park meals, you can lie about it to your friends! That’s where the Theme Park Memory Kit comes in.
Just one payment of $54.95 gets you:
A used park ticket.
