Slow News Day

Huh. BBC News 24 just did a story about David Tennant starting to film Doctor Who. There was an interview with someone from the Doctor Who Appreciation Society about how Doctor Who fans embrace change with an open mind (*cough*), and a short interview with Tennant, out of costume.

No doubt as one of the burning news stories of the day this will be given equally high profile coverage on Sky News and ITV News...

Shock and awe

From weyoun_one:

Not content with asserting that the bombers are all scrounging asylum seekers recently, the Daily Express has managed to plumb further depths with their front page assertion that the Human Rights Act should be scrapped in order to remove its unreasonable restriction on hurling prisoners down flights of stairs, or something along those lines.

You can only gaze in awe at a publication which makes Hitler look like a man who never quite decided where he stood on immigration. And devoting the remainder of their front page to a story about Diana pregnancy conspiracy theories displays an almost sublime lack of self awareness.

Me again

There is a really deeply spiffy interview with Joss Whedon here which is worth your time. Lots of in depth discussion about his contribution to films in general, including Toy Story, Speed, Wonder Woman and of course Serenity, with no significant spoilers that I've noticed.

EDIT: ...and Batman, and Global Frequency, and Iron Man, and Powers, and....

EDIT 2: ...and House, and Veronica Mars... phew! Long interview.
