I just had an email from Phil Plait with a link to a very funny reaction to the season finale of Torchwood. Oh! How I laughed. Obviously, if you don’t know what happened and don’t want to know what happened, don’t watch.

Yes, yes, I’ve seen the other ones using the same clip.

I just got back from another screening of Hallam Foe. It was even better the second time ’round.

Please. Please please please please. PLEEEEEAAASE go see Hallam Foe in the cinema. It really is just one of the most moving and beautiful films I’ve seen in a very long time. And more perfectly British (Scottish) films like it need to continue to be made. Also, Jamie Bell is just remarkable in the film. Please, everyone, more Jamie Bell in the world. And if Sophia Myles (Dr. Who- ‘The Girl in the Fireplace‘) isn’t made a huge star after the film then the Universe is far more fucked up than I believe it to be.

I can’t wait to see the video from the evening… Colin, will you edit yourself into it? ;)

OK. A couple exciting things.

First things first, as all of you Sunshine fans will have heard by now, the film is being released in the US and Canada on the 20th of July! Yes! Finally. I’m soooooo very excited. I’m hoping to be in the States then, too, so I’ll be able to go through the excitement of the release firsthand! Weeeeeeee!

Second, some of you will remember the podcast Brian did with John Barrowman recently, well, there’s a CERN Podcast website now which will have the podcasts, photos and information about all of the podcasts they do over the coming months. The next person going out there will be author Charles Jencks and then (perhaps) Alex James. He’s also asked Charlie Brooker, Martin Amis, Stephen Fry and Daniel Radcliffe…

It’d be really helpful if all you blogger types could link to the site using just CERN in the link in order to help get it up Google’s results. Heh. Press is starting on it next week so there should be loads of people listening to the John Barrowman one (well, more than the thousands and thousands of Dr. Who fans who’ve already listened to it!)…

Brian took John Barrowman ie Captain Jack from Dr. Who and Torchwood to CERN the other week. Those of you with iTunes will be able to listen to it here. Non-iTunes people can get it here. It’s very funny. And cheeky.

    Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
