Well here it is - your go-to place for reviews, assessments, favourites and prize wallies.

Can't wait to see 12 years a slave and Mr Pip.

But Man of Steel (Superman redux) is entertaining, though his pecs are too gross for me. And Great Expectations had us all weeping.

Over the Christmas period two TV specials stand out. Dr Who and Sherlock. (catch em on Youtube). Who was a bit too out there, but Sherlock lived up to the Moffat/Gattis mark. Most excellent! (And Moffat was involved in both)

Well Bernardi, Pyne, Morrison are just too depressing to talk about.

What has happened to Australia? Now Morrison is refusing to talk about the 'state of war' with Indonesia. There are power cuts, the righties are rewriting School curricului, (is that right?), the loonies are taking over the asylum, and its 47 degrees, and Bernardi (that damn son of an immigrant) wants to turn Australia back to the 1950's.

Time for some music.

One of the better big music events music/video coverage.

Maybe we should restart a guitar heroes thread.

Who is this Godless Eagles bastard with a dual-neck 12 and 6 string guitar? And he has a capo on the third fret of the twelve string. I think that's cheating.

But you can't beat Joe Walsh with his Rickenbaker, or is it a Fender, or a Gretsch or a Gibson?

Well I'm at a loss.

One regret about Scientology.

The great Chick Corea became one.

Stupid sod.
