Poodle Fitness, anyone?


I despise any form of exercise that doesn't involve being chased by a marauding shamble of 28 Days Later style zombies or doesn't allow me to sport a weapon like a film heroine (think The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdean and Kill Bill's O-Ren Ishii).

New Film Style Doctor Who Wallpaper by Lee Binding




The official Doctor Who website have just released 3 stunning new film style Doctor Who wallpapers by the overly talented artist Lee Binding.

Why? Because the BBC are commemorating nine years since Ninth Doctor Christoper Eccelston first burst on to our screens with Doctor Who's television revival back in 2005.

The Film Industry in a Digital Age with Lord Puttnam


Lord Puttnam is a game-changing thinker, who is not only a film producer with iconic credits to his name including Bugsy Malone and Chariots Of Fire, but he passionately supports young people as founder of Skillset and as an international educator.

I went along to a talk he was giving on 'The Film Industry in a Digital Age' at the International Students House (ISH) in London, and was inspired by his futurist thinking about what the the film industry has to do to survive and thrive in the ever changing digital topography of fast-consumerism, his passion for the BBC and his views on experiential cinema.

IMAGE: Look-in The Six Million Dollar Magazine


 Spending hours trawling the web for work, play and inspiration, I thought I might start sharing some of my favourite pictorial finds, and of course, with an obligatory geeky flavour (and on that note, what is the geekiest flavour I wonder?).

Evocative Dulux advert - a world without colour



Paint brand Dulux has been taking notes from films like Pleasantville and The Artist and have jumped, quite beautifully I may add, on the vintage bandwagon with a highly stylised pastiche on the prohibition-era.

Sausages! Animals in adverts - why do they stay with us?




Off the back of my last post about Culture Magazine’s simple ad, it sparked a conversation between myself and my boyfriend about adverts we grew up with.

We enjoyed very similar recollections, both being British and our similar ages helping frame our collective memory being children of the 80s, but the one theme that unified our favourites, was the age-old classic of the animal star turn.

Inside No 9 - Deliciously Sinister Drama

Inside No 9 by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton
I was introduced to Inside No 9 by a friend at work. When I asked him to describe the first episode to me, unsure as he struggled for words, he finally grabbed (quite appropriately) at ‘disturbing’.
