Funny how often a complete prick dies on the same day as a nice person who made people smile, and you really get to see the difference between the two ways people react.

What a wonderful thing Reddit is.
Before it how on earth were people able to express that the change of colour on the subscribe button on their free podcast app is clearly the worst event in human history since Perl Harbour and thats just the bloody breaking point now?

I don't quite get Hammers business model.
They cram every potboiler release with extras, have a YouTube channel and yet are still able to release something like this BlueRay magazine stacked with more content for geeks like me.
I don't get how they do it but I love that they do!

Great special from Dark Corners.
I'd have Dark Eyes and The Return of the Vampire higher and much as I love Black Cat I'd go for Son of Frankenstein for #1, a sensational performance.
Bela was a good leftie who had to leave Hungary for his part in the 1919 revolution.

Not only is this fantastic in it's own right but it has absolutely enraged the hate filled waste of blood and organs that is Graham Linehan.
Hope it doesn't aggravate his already problematic blood pressure to the point it does him a proper mischief. I really do.
