And here’s the last one. British comedian Catherine Tate as Lauren, the annoying British schoolgirl. Here, she disses Scot David Tennant for not being English. Here we have it again: some very British humor, start to finish. Lovely.
Enjoy (with a wee bit of haggis, aye?):

And then there’s this nostalgic take… Love it. I grew up with Dr. Who, and remember clearly the first Dr. Who I saw–Leela walking over a pit filled with grub-like monsters. I must have been 3 or 4 years old–and I think that I did indeed hide behind the couch, as it [...]

I’ve always been a huge Doctor Who fan, but the last few days–thanks to my new Verizon FiOS service–I’m finally back in the high life and can enjoy the 3rd season of the brilliant UK revival.
I’ve been trolling YouTube and found quite a few gems. In this one, the 4th Doctor spends a little [...]

Sweetness and light.
That’s how I respond to Bungie’s press release today.
The 4 online-playable co-op characters.
All the hubbub about whether or not Bungie would have online co-op at all was wasted energy–online co-op was never in question. Bungie today released that it was, in fact, whether 4-player online co-op would work out was the only [...]

Heads up for anybody who still remembers this series, but it was one of the best shows on television at the time. (Well, at least for seasons 1-4).
The creators of Bab5 are now releasing a mini-reunion of sorts with a new story (or stories, I believe). What is strange is that B5: The Lost Tales [...]

Lime, you had better make sure that you completed your W-2 correctly, or you could be on the receiving end of a qui tam action filed by yojoe.

The 360 Chatpad is due out in the U.S. Thursday, September 6th, at the announced $29.99 price. It clips onto the bottom of your 360 controller and allows you to IM and send e-mails without using the on-screen keyboard. I was aware that the package included a wired headset (the original 360 wired [...]

I’m surprised to find myself posting this. Below: the Halo 3 box art. I’m posting it because I’m likewise surprised to find that I really like this box. It’s an image drawing from the atmospheric and very classy (entirely worthy of Bungie and the Halo series) “Finish the Fight” Halo 3 [...]

“I am an absolutely pure democrat. The real tragedy is that I am the only one. Elsewhere in the world there just aren’t any others . . . Since Majatma Gandhi died, there’s just nobody left to talk to.”
- Vladmir Putin, President of Russia, responding on 1 June 2007, in a pre-G8 [...]

The Joker in the new film The Dark Knight is not the fun-loving comical version portrayed by Jack Nicholson. Just from his looks, one can tell that this will be a very different character. The Joker will be played by Heath Ledger.
The Joker, in all his glory (aka, Heath Ledger)
Also making an [...]

The book is World War Z. The story is about how the human race almost came to meet its demise.
If Tom Clancy were to do a book about zombies, it would be much like this. This book, however, was penned by the son of Mel Brooks, the man behind Spaceballs–and the heritage is sometimes apparent.
The [...]

As promised, I’ve gone and done it — seen 300. And what I have to report is this: it’s a very good movie, for what it is. Not great. But very good.
As I’ve gone on at length about before, this is a movie based on a graphic novel, which in turn was [...]

Wired 15.03: Be More Than You Can Be
Check this bit of journalism witnessing firsthand the products of R&D ongoing at DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), in Virginia.
All it takes is a chilled metal sphere, your hand tightly gripping the sphere, and a vacuum around your hand, and not only won’t your body overheat, but [...]

Yes, I’ve waited decades for this moment, but I can now call myself the proud owner of a Dalek. What you see here is a Dalek shouting “Exterminate! Exterminate!” futilely at my Webcam. Yes, I’m safe because it feels more threatened by the Webcam than me.
Seriously, though, BBC America sells this sweet [...]
