Can't help but feel that Stranger Things would be infinitely improved if Vecna was portrayed by Arthur Bostrom with the full Officer Crabtree voice.

There really are few pleasures in life quite like a nice big cup of tea. Yes I am 44 in a month's time, why do you ask?

Watched episode 4 of #EdgeofDarkness earlier and god Bob Peck was a proper star huh. A real striking litheness of movement during the escape from that computer office and Zoë Wanamaker & Joe Don Baker both absolutely on point too.

Lovely time just now listening to De La Rue's Requiem on CD (Recording of the Clerks group) and reading the thoroughly involving and intriguing Whalesong by Miles Cameron, some right good well 'ard scifi fiction.

Watching the Gareth Edwards Godzilla picture from 2014, which is a good time, and I do love how the monsterverse pictures do that trick of redacting stuff during the credits.
