Star Wars Blu-Ray Changes

Now anyone who know me knows that I'm a life long Star Wars fan, and needless to say I will be buying the nine disc Blu-Ray box set when it's released on 16th September, so I just want to address one aspect of fandom that is really pissing me off......the fans.

Now I don't mean the everyday fans who genuinely love the movies, or the casual fans who enjoy the movies, I mean the ones who claim to be fans but piss and moan every time a new release comes out, or if George Lucas decides to alter anything, then claim that George has 'raped their childhood'.

Here is some news for you......NOBODY is forcing you to buy the damned Blu-Rays, NOBODY is forcing you to watch the accursed movies. George Lucas is the creator of Star Wars and he is perfectly entitled to make as many changes as he sees fit, and let's be honest most people who watch the discs won't notice the difference anyway. If you don't like it don't watch.

The Blu-Ray release will be the official canon versions of the saga, but if you prefer, you can still watch the original non-canon versions on DVD, so you really have no need to complain.

To quote a certain actor who played a certain captain in another sci-fi franchise......'get a life!'

HISTORY; What were you told?

HISTORY; What were you told? : For most Scots growing up, history lessons at school consisted of how, Great....Britain was and how our history started with the Norman conquest of england in 1066. If you attended english classes you were treated to the dross of an english playwright in his attempt to give the Stewart’s a heritage lost in the mists of time, Banquo, MacBeth the “tyrant” and all that. If you were lucky and had teachers who cared they might have passed on some of the facts to you. 1603, Scotland’s ruling class deserted her and Scotland started the slippery slope to ruin. `A century of turmoil, religous divisions, cultural divides, continued anglicisation and even a period of english occupation in a so called Commenwealth we reached 1707 and an incorporating Union. James Stewart VI of Scotland At the heart of all this was a Stewart monarchy who turned its back on the very Nation that spawned it to finally destroy it as the smoke of ruin lifted from Drumossie Moor. ...

Barrowman Reiterates Return Wish

Barrowman Reiterates Return Wish : Who would you like to see appear in Doctor Who ’s fiftieth birthday bash in 2013? Along the way, the Doctor has met some pretty interesting characters that could come back to either help or hinder him in his travels across the Universe. One such character is Captain Jack Harkness, who is surely the twenty first century equivalent of the Brigadier, would be a welcome guest star to help out the Eleventh Doctor when the time comes. Doctor Who fans last saw the good Captain in The End of Time, Part Two , when the Tenth Doctor set him up with Midshipman Frame as a goodbye present. Since then both the Doctor and the Captain have had more than enough fish to fry saving Earth and the Universe. But as the time draws nearer and the Doctor is due to celebrate one of his biggest birthday’s ever, what can we expect? When the series was running during its 10th and 20th anniversaries we were treated to some very special stories. On its 30th and 40th we we...

Badass Man of Steel & Sexy Selina

Now I love my movies, and I especially enjoy superhero movies, so it’s been a great couple of days with Warner Bros. releasing promotional shots from two of my most anticipated movies of the next couple of years, Superman: Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises. The first picture is of Henry Cavill as Superman from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. I love Superman because I like the messianic aspects of the character, but I do find him somewhat lacking in the badass department. Kal-El of Krypton may be virtually indestructible but sadly he has always been something of a wimp; too much of a nice guy. So imagine my surprise when the studio releases a photo of our new Supes, not only looking ultra cool in his new threads, but looking like he wants to kick your ass. He’s going to kick your ass and he’s going to enjoy it! Two things I really like about the new suit; I may be wrong as it’s hard to see in this picture, but it looks like they have finally got rid of the super pants, always ...
