Iron Man 2

By Iain 22 November 2012Books, Films/TV, ReviewsNo Comments

Film three, Iron Man 2. I enjoyed this one as well, but after the first Iron Man, I kind of knew I would. There's a lot going on in this film, and a lot of characters who don't really have enough to do. Tony Stark himself is slowly dying, poisoned by his artificial heart, which ironically, keeps him alive. Pepper…

The Incredible Hulk

By Iain 21 November 2012Books, Films/TV, ReviewsNo Comments

On to film two! Before I watched this film I wasn't actually sure if I had seen it or not. I knew I'd seen the Eric Bana one from a few years previously (I enjoyed it immensely, loved the comic-book stylings), but I wasn't at all sure if I had seen this one. As soon as it started it became…

Iron Man

By Iain 20 November 2012Books, Films/TV, ReviewsNo Comments

This is it, the first part of Avengers Week here on Waves! Iron Man then. First of all I have to say that Robert Downey Jr. is perfectly cast in this film, he steals every scene that he is in. I could not imagine anyone else portraying Tony Stark more accurately than this man. Cocky and arrogant but confident and…

The recent spate of Marvel films

By Iain 19 November 2012Books, Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

I am going to watch them. I will call it: Avengers Week. Have a shitty graphic in putrid colours and Comic Sans. Starting with Iron Man, then The Incredible Hulk (the one with Edward Norton in it, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it), then Iron Man 2, then Thor, then Captain America (which I'm not looking forward to if…

Nice couple of days

By Iain 25 October 2012Books, Creativity, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Seeing as Jane and I were going out for a meal with her work-mates in Southampton last night, I thought I'd go over earlier in the day and see my family. Met David and Otis at the Mayflower, then went on to the hospital and had lunch with Mum, gave her some belated birthday presents and just generally had a…

My experiences at the public library

By Iain 27 September 2012Books, Creativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

I used to go to the local library in Waterlooville quite a lot on my split shifts. I found it a nice place to get some art done, read a new issue of ImagineFX or Fantasy Artist in peace, or do some research on a current project (there's something a bit more... honest about flicking through a book rather than…

Taking stock

By Iain 16 August 2012Books, Films/TV, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

After the madness of my cousins wedding and the holiday with the boys, I feel I need to streamline my existence, have a good sort out and tidy everything up. I started today (whilst catching up on Peep Show - the tail end of series 6 and start of series 7), just general organisational things really, and I have next…

Pictoral reflection

By Iain 12 July 2012Books, Creativity, Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I want to try and create a piece of digital art based on the media I consume. I finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? whilst on Jury Service, and since then, an image has been resonating in my head. I need to get it down on paper. I have loads of other ideas for pictures about books I have…

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

By Iain 19 June 2012Books, Films/TV, VideogamesNo Comments

I love the film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I love the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. I do not love Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. The universe itself is wonderfully realised in-game, it's quite faithful to the books, and any new bits they added are also very much in the spirit of things... It's just that as a…

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

By Iain 13 June 2012Books, Films/TVNo Comments

By Phillip K. Dick You may have heard of the film "Blade Runner". It was based on this book, you know. I've seen Blade Runner, I'm sure I have, I must've done, my Dad loved it, but for the life of me I cannot remember it. I may have to track down a copy. This book is so full of…
