There are two new ways to read books. First of all, there’s Google Book Search, which allows readers to find and read public domain books on-screen. As an author, you may also provide digital .pdf versions of your own works or sample/preview chapters and tables of contents. Books that are out of copyright like Peter Pan can be found in the book search’s ever growing library.

I mention in the title up at the top of the page that this blog features writing. Up until this point that has been a massive fib – all I’ve really done is talk about cinema and music. I am doing a fair bit of writing when I’m not 9-5ing though, honest!

This made me laugh. Swatch have made 22 watches based on bad guys from each of the Bond films. I really like this idea, and seeing as how I don’t have a functioning watch anymore I reckon a Goldfinger or Moonraker would do me a world of good.

First question – what’s wrong with it?! I think it’s really cool! There’s a whole lot of hate over it at the BBC website at the moment. I mean Jesus, we’re talking 90% pure, unadulterated hate. I think the problem is that it is for a Bond film, and everyone’s so quick off the mark to call it crap unless it’s exactly what they thought it would be. Before White and Keys were revealed as the singers I thought it was gonna be Duffy, who I’m sure would have done an ace little number. Muse would have been perfect for the job but I don’t think they were ever asked. I reckon Winehouse was hit and miss – she could either have done something fantastic, or frankly, pap. The fact that Ronson scrapped whatever it is that they produced is immaterial, he’s not exactly the next John Lennon, is he? Anyway, this tune is no way as bad as people are saying, it’s pretty catchy and I’m sure it’ll grow on me even more. It seems like people just want to hark on about how much they know about Bond and music, and why change is bad. Sod em!

I’ve lost count of the number of comic book adaptions that have popped up in the last few years, but barring The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2 is the one I’ve been waiting for.
I loved Ron Perlman as Hellboy and del Toro’s directing, not to mention his take on Mignola’s world of nutcase Nazis and and Lovecraftian monsters. From the trailer it was quite plain to see that Hellboy 2 would be bigger – at least visually and character-wise, but I was a little worried that the CGI-factor would swallow up everything else.
