Batman Forever was the weediest of the 1990s Batman movies – and ergo the worst entry in the Caped Crusader’s celluloid chronology. It wasn’t as dark and moody as the two Tim Burton films or Christopher Nolan’s greyscale trilogy of gloom, and it wasn’t a camp, so-bad-it’s-funny rubber fetish fest like Batman & Robin, which … >
Dodgy mash-up ahoy! What do you get if you combine the cutesy, harmless innocence of the merchandise-opportunistic equine chums from My Little Pony and the massively-overexposed main trailer from violent gloom-fest The Dark Knight Rises? You get Rainbow Dash as Batman, Scootaloo as Alfred, Discord as Bane and a headache at the wrongness of it … >
‘Could zombies live among us?’ asks this video, purporting to be serious, but of course, it’s just a great excuse – if one were needed – to slap on some cool undead makeup and shamble around the streets of New York, groaning and terrifying people. Which is fine by us.

It’s fairly well-known these days that the actor who played Bungle on Rainbow was arrested in 2000 following a foulmouthed road rage incident, and many are aware that the same gentleman was once caught on-mic during a recording for the popular children’s series, remarking, ‘It’s fucking hot in this suit.’ However, a better-kept secret is … >
What do you get if you combine the words of cosmologist and author Carl Sagan with some stunning time-lapse photography and moody piano-playing? Something bizarre, beguiling and beautiful, that’s what…
In an era where 3D TV and movies are commonplace, the concept of the BBC doing a week of three-dimensional telly as if it was the most amazing scientific breakthrough since the invention of the wheel is unimaginable. Likewise, in an age where Doctor Who is one of the channel’s highest-rated and most bankable shows, … >
If you follow any Olympic naysayers on Twitter, you may have recently noticed a repeated hashtag about the chairman of LOCOG: #IHateSebastianCoe.
