Guns don't kill people, dogs do.

I'm all for humourous news articles, I hate reading newspapers and watching the news when all they talk about is death and destruction, but this is borderline hypocrisy. It fascinates me that from the huge number of gun murders and injuries, it is the light-hearted stories which they invariably use

The Fountain

I'm not usually enticed into watching artful films, but I made an exception for this after several rave reviews from friends. I loved it. It's truly unique, not just in its story, but it is one of the most beautiful films I have ever watched. Immensely thought-provoking, at times dark and mysterious and with more themes than I can communicate in this article, it is truly a film that will live with me forever.

Sam and Max - Free Download

As part of the promotion for season 2 of Sam and Max, Telltale Games have decided to release episode 4 of season 1, Abe Lincoln Must Die, as a free download.

If you've never played any Sam and Max before, this is a great place to start. Its a fun little adventure game, with some comedy thrown in. Although this is my favourite episode of season 1, the rest are great too, and are available through Steam if you want to download them.

Dollhouse – Joss Whedon

Joss is back on TV but I’m not exactly thrilled.

Perhaps I am just bitter because Whedon once claimed that he would never work with Fox again (which at the time seemed the primary reason why we would never get anymore Firefly), or maybe it is because I’m not a huge fan of Eliza Dushku. Anyway, Joss’ new show is called Dollhouse and stars, as you may have guessed, Eliza Dushku. It has been given a seven episode commission by Fox, who are looking for a Spring 2008 premiere. I’m not saying that I won’t watch it, I’m just not as optimistic as I expected to be. Then again, it is Joss and the best news is that Tim Minear will be back, so I have faith that they’ll make it into something fantastic.

Ayreon - 01011001

I can honestly say that I have never looked forwards to an album as much as this. It's Ayreon's 7th album, and the 5th instalment of the story that began with The Final Experiment. Ayreon, a project of Arjen Lucassen, have an unorthodox and experimental musical style. Their albums are Rock Operas incorporating numerous genres, including progressive rock, metal, folk, classical and electronica.
