I have an overwhelming need to share my opinions and ideas with others. Unfortunately if I do this in the street I get some strange looks from regular people, so I've decided to share some of my randomness here.

Silver & Black Release Date Announced
Every time Sony makes an announcement regarding anything to do with Spider-Man or the associated characters, I find myself pondering this question. To be perfectly honest, it’s more like a ponderous drum beat thumping in the back of my head. It all began with the announcement of a Sinister Six movie way back in 2014 following the release of TheAmazing Spider-Man 2. It wasn’t so much the idea of a Sinister Six movie that rubbed me the wrong way, it was the idea of having a movie devoted to Spider-Man's rogues' gallery without the inclusion of the wall crawler himself. It just didn’t make any sense. Then there was the announcement of an Aunt May solo film, and the jaws of Spider-Man fans the world over collectively dropped. I had to lie down for several minutes my head was thumping so hard that day. Then Sony was hacked and the world got to see for themselves the circus that went on behind the scenes. This left Sony and in particular Amy Pascal, I still don’t understand how this woman managed to avoid the firing squad, in a deeply embarrassing and precarious situation. From the ashes of catastrophe came a single spark of hope in the form of a deal with Marvel, which led to Spidey’s inclusion in Civil War. From the moment he arrived on the screen in that trailer, the fans knew that finally, we had the Spider-Man we had been praying for and we rejoiced.

This Week I Am Mostly Watching
Do you want to know what I love more than anything else in the world? Quirky little television shows that seem to appear from out of nowhere, capture the imagination of the masses then disappear without too much drama. While shows like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead, with their massive budgets, grab the headlines and bully their way to the top. It's shows like Farscape that skip along to the beat of their own drum, all the while charming us to within an inch of our lives with their eccentric and infectious sense of humour.
