;D But she's Rose Walker! ... with a Bronze in Gymnastics! Or something like that. Yup that was silly CGI. I'm finding the whole series silly, a little flawed, wonderfully dramatic and most intriguing. Camp, but in a different way to "camp" it was before - strange that ... unmacho, almost geeky, okay very geeky, tongue-in-cheek, and then terribly self-serious (but only breifly so that it becomes superficial?). blah - oh god I'm analysing Dr Who (again!) ;D
Daleks!

Okay, ignoring the fact that I obviously dont have the latest version of RealPlayer installed, why are the BBC showing a different trailer on TV and on the web every day this week. I mean, its milking it just a little dont you think?  www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/(warning Flash page - starts screaming exterminate at you - can be unnerving if you're listening to music or its quiet ...  ) |

Interesting. I think I could get used to that - I reckon it's been made to look primitive/retro to imply that the cybermen have been around for a while. I always hoped for a more random look because it was implied that the cybermen replaced their original fleshy parts over a long period of time. Eventually they become logical and immortal, because there is nothing left of their original form. But then again, logic implies Ford-like production logic - the effeciency of uniformity etc. blah blah Anyone interested in the different appearences of the cybermen absolutely must check out the Dr Who Image Archive at: www.shillpages.com/dw/monsters.htm |

(Note: Readers, please don't confuse "Cybermen" with the definitive "Cyberbabe" who is a senior member of this forum ;D ) The journo from El Reg reckoned that the new Cyberman was inspired by Metropolis, but I reckon that it looks more the robot from the film Iron Giant. By the way, any idea why it was called Iron Giant rather than Iron Man? Surely Ted Hughes' creation predates Stan Lee's? |

I want to see it. All the synopsis's I've just read credit Ted Hughes but the plot doesn't seem to resemble the Iron Man at all. I read a copy a year ago - it was ok I guess - I was surprised at the lack of background or explanations - it's a fantasy about an enigma who woops a space dragon's ass at the end of the story. As an adult I was trying to find themes relating to industry or robots but no, it's just a big mystery monster, falls apart, puts itself together, eats cars and upsets farmers ... My guess is that the film may even be more entertaining. |

Tinks and I were just chatting about Dr Who times so I thought I should post this here: When is Doctor Who on TV?
Doctor Who is screened on BBC One on Saturday nights from 15 April 2006. These new episodes are repeated on BBC Three on Sunday evenings (approx 7pm) and Friday evenings (9pm).from www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/I missed the one at christmas. So I've become obsessed as to when they are repeated. |

I'm thinking about posting the following "blah" in my Live Journal. Doctor WhoI’m enjoying Doctor Who, but I’m really having to relax … Okay it’s camp, it’s witty and very "po-mo", and perhaps momentarily attempts tragic profundity. Yes, yes, the doctor is so very lonely, and yes, wherever he goes there is death and destruction - it’s getting like The Hulk (come to think of it, even though The A-Team was on the run they never spent much time reflecting on it - they were too busy building tanks about garage rubbish - which is what the BBC props department are appear to be doing. There are still no explanations as to why future tech always looks like 1970s scrap-yard. Just the odd comment about the “ebb and flow of aesthetics” and “alien materials” would be nice, I'd accept that. 51st century? It all still looks so cheap, apart from the inside of the Tardis, … well to a point -there’s a lovely ceramic organic touch to the Tardis - a sort of alien Gaudi chic. Other than that, all devices look like oversized kitchen appliances - and all of the “consoles” are blackened, they look like they are from straight-to-video 80’s post-apocalyptic films. There must be something missing – is it the lighting? The editing? It reminds me of theatre sets for Shakespeare. The future is a stereotyped as clean hotel lobbies or a dark warehouse garage with cables, air-conditioning foil tubes, and dungeon cobwebs. But hey, Dr. Who has always taken pride in itself as living in a complete bubble, never being exposed to the influence of films, or novels (in terms of sci-fi concepts). Anachronisms are still being clumsily explained - I think the audience of a 40 year-old series based on time and space travel don’t always need the exposition. Long pause …"What’s a laser driven robot doing in the 12th Century? Dear Lord! Someone’s messing around with history!" It’s a bit like Miss Marple explaining the difference between natural death and brutal murder. Hmm, come to think of it I think she did a few times … Oh well. English TV eh? Wait a second - it's all filmed in Wales!! Clockwork Restoration Robots? Hee hee. I liked that. "France … *shrug*… it’s another planet" - Making fun of the French works in all genres. Damn those Zombies. Every other episode it’s slow moving group of aliens/robots/zombies … They don’t all have to shuffle! However, there's lots of nice touches … but still it lacks something … I reckon this is a good sign, because I’m still watching and perhaps for the right reasons. I’ll give you my verdict in after a couple more series. |
