Thank God New Line’s publicity department sent an eight meg Sex and the City publicity photo, because my Outlook email box wasn’t behaving slow enough for my purposes. The image to the right is celebrating the start of shooting for the Sex and the City feature film and I must admit that I own the … Continue reading

Judging from the above, it looks like Hulk has landed in an alternate universe Harlem overrun by French Canadians. Judging from the below, he’s none too pleased … Continue reading
