My 50th Blog!

Yes, true believers, this is it! My 50th Blog! Half way to a hundred OR a lot of hours wasted in front of a computer typing things that the VAST majority of the population will probably never read. 

Yes...enough of that talk!

Because I didn't actually think about anything to write for this blog entry, I will instead share a brilliant discovery with you. A while back, Dad and I were watching Oops TV (not something we usually do - we're more My Family) when this video came on: 

What does this video have to do with your discovery? Is this video your discovery? Are you, in fact, Morgan Freeman? (None of the questions, especially the last one, have ever been asked of me). Well, my friends/enemies/David Cameron, read on to discover the answer to the first two questions.

Pictured: Not me

Back to my original story. I was watching this video with the sound off because I was listening to my iTunes at the time. Then, this song came on: 

As I listened, I realized it could potentially work really well as a soundtrack to this video. So I put both the song AND the video (still muted) back to the beginning and played them both. Guess what? 

I was right! 




Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.




I'll wait.






Right, wasn't I? 

Picture: Still not me

Been a while

Figured it's been a while since I posted a blog, too long in fact, so here you are, friends. 

I'm currently sat watching Iron Man at my friend Jeremy's house. It's an excellent film, brilliant cast and a cool storyline (except for the lack of a true villain fight). Robert Downey Jr does a wonderful job as Tony Stark, and the special effects are rather spectuclar! All in all, it is a film I'd recommend to everyone I meet on the streets, and that's saying something, considering I don't like the streets...or people. 

There isn't really much else to tell, except that a new wave of Doctor Who Action Figures has been announced.

As you can see, its made up of three re-releases (Idris, Uncle and the Doctor), two retolled figures (River and Ganger Doctor) and one completely new scuplt (the Astronaut). Surprisingly, I'm quite happy about these figures. The Doctor has a new blue bow tie variant, which is bluer then the original release. He comes with a Sonic Screwdriver (as is standard) and looks somewhat cool.

Idris is a re-release (but fortunately one I don't already have) but she comes with 5 Time Lord Hypercubes. Why 5? Why not is all I can think of to answer that partcular question. 

Now I'm really happy about the River and Astronaut figures! The Astronaut is something I've been wanting since the Series started. It's something of a mystery to everyone (except Steven Moffat) and since its first appearance, it achieved what the Daleks have failed to do since their first encounter, that just amplified the desire. River is a tweeked version of the SDCC exclusive (see below), without the coat and belt. Some would be irritated at this, but I'm not since it means that anyone who couldn't pick one up now has the chance.

Uncle and the Ganger Doctor I'm not fussed about. Much like the Nephew figure, I can't see myself buying this (unless they release an Auntie figure to complete the set). And I have no desire for a translucent Zombie Doctor to add to my collection. All in all, quite a good wave though!

Though I'd still quite like a Canton figure!

I also had an idea for a "Good Man Goes to War" action figure set: Dorium, Strax, Vastra, Roman Rory, River and Madame Korvarian. I would also like figures of the Headless Monks. Very little was revealed about them, but they were still a cool villain.

Finally, Doctor Who is starting up again on the 27th of August! YAY!
