the cellulord is watching: JOHN CARTER (OF MARS)
http://cellulord.blogspot.com/2012/07/john-carter-of-mars.html
JOHN CARTER (OF MARS). John Carter and his blue rays are now on Blu-Ray, although you'd be forgiven for not having noticed . I love John Carter. There, I’ve said it. Well, written it. I've waited over thirty-five years for the books I loved as a child to arrive on my preferred medium . The screen. And, damnit, it was worth the wait! If you don’t think you’ll make it … Go and watch Spider-Man. So, where was I? Oh yeah, pledging my troth to John Carter. Thing to do was shave off the bit of the title that m...

Charlie Kaufman has made his scripts available as pdfs for download . For free. All his work is here. For the eager script-writing student to pore over, including drafts and redrafts of the same scripts, in some cases. What an incredible insight into the head of the most audacious, literate and thoughtful script-writer of the last decade. The link, if you fancy a bit of cut'n'paste action is: http:/ www.beingcharliekaufman.com/index.php. This was a piece of drama written by Kaufman and The Coen Brothers ...

THE HOBBIT: VERY MUCH AS EXPECTED. Part One of Two:. Lord of the Rings. Is my favourite film (cos I think of it as one loooooong film) of the past 30 years. That, then, is the definition of a hard act to follow. With that in mind, I’ve watched the development of The Hobbit. But the delays continued … Studio and rights issues, union and political problems … A threat to shoot somewhere other than New Zealand (which we all now know is. Thankfully, it was all well worth the wait. For me, watching The Hobbit.

the cellulord is watching: DARK KNIGHT RISES
http://cellulord.blogspot.com/2012/07/dark-knight-rises.html
First thoughts. That’s what this piece will be. Half-formed, poorly-considered thoughts. So, I’m not intending to spoil the film, but by merely talking about it, I’m going to … So, if you have any ambition to watch this film … Don’t read on. Give yourself the chance to see the film …. So, I’ll assume you have seen it if you’re still here. So when is a trilogy not really a trilogy? I was reasonably indifferent to Batman Begins. Then The Dark Knight. My straw-poll survey made The Dark Knight. Was almost bo...

http://www.excommunicatetraitoris.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 May 2015. Blood Angel Stormraven Conversion Painted! Converted with the help of a chapterhouse conversion kit and some changes of my own. Be warned, this one will be picture heavy! Links to this post. Tuesday, 19 May 2015. WWII US Airborne- quick test paint. So, I still have some wee decals to put on these chaps, but I figure once I’m happy with the paint I’ll just go back through and do them all at once. And with the 6th of June not that far away….

Excommunicate Traitoris: October 2014
http://www.excommunicatetraitoris.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 October 2014. Battle – Elysian Drop Troops Vs Tau empire 1850. A game was played a few weekends ago, and I might be heading for some kind of record for games played in a year! We rolled up the mission and deployment, we got the relic hunt mission, with a single, movable objective worth 3 points, pretty much making it a purge the alien mission, but with an extra 3 pts on the table if you had the objective. Elysian 93rd Recon Regiment,. Elysians vets with plasma and valkyrie with rocket pods.

Excommunicate Traitoris: Projects update – Taking stock
http://www.excommunicatetraitoris.com/2015/08/projects-update-taking-stock.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. Projects update – Taking stock. Yeah, its the summer hols and for teachers it’s pretty much new year. At least I tend to think in academic years these days – that thing everyone else gets excited about in January just doesn't have the same weight for me. So, the main 40k armies-. Space Wolves –. About 4500pts, and about half painted. I learned a lesson with this force, I picked up and built too many models too quickly and as a consequence haven't painted them all; I also picked...

Excommunicate Traitoris: June 2015
http://www.excommunicatetraitoris.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. I am fortunate in the subject I teach that colleagues are often like-minded. one such is a fellow wargamer and blogger,. And he asked me how I would go about painting dark eldar flesh in order to achieve a particular result. these are my initial experiments. The inspiration – a character from Destiny I believe. I started with two heads, primed white and mounted on cocktail sticks. A wash with asurment blue, diluted. Then a glaze with warlock purple. Links to this post. WWII U.S...

BLACK MIRROR: The National Anthem. But what about the victim? Oh, sod her, she's not the point . So, Charlie Brooker has returned, to slap us in our complacent faces once more. No argument from me about any of that. But that's all very, very old! We’ve been impressed by literate, impassioned, artistic telly … Now we need to be more. Of course, part of that will be the break-up of the traditional viewing habits. it's rare now for ten million people to be watching the same programme on the same day....
