| Short Stories are Not Fish From Space… Posted: 12 Jun 2010 08:00 AM PDT … because the Saturnynians were rendered extinct in The Vampires of Venice, remember?
It's funny how Gaiman's point-of-view is able to perfectly correspond with Doctor Who. Many of the longer, looked-forward-to, and more story-arc-driven tales in the Whoniverse, such as Time and the Rani, Planet of the Dead, and almost the whole of Season 28 (Series 2), are often regarded as sub-par at best, while some of the shorter, more low key installments including Blink, Midnight, Vincent and the Doctor, and The Edge of Destruction were each received as fantastic by their audiences and destined to be classics. And who can forget the Grand Moff's especially-length-lacking Time Crash? The point? We've often overlooked the standalone gems in each season because we've been too concerned with speculating about how the Daleks might fare in 1930s New York, why the Master is suddenly so hungry around Christmas, and what is causing the existence-wiping cracks in time. All of these are wonderful concepts, but they simply won't be remembered quite as vividly as our initial outing with the Weeping Angels or the time we "Geronimoed!" out of a star whale's mouth. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but hopefully Gaiman's words are intended to subtly add to the anticipation for his first foray into Who-ology and assure us that the next great achievement in the Platinum Age is just around the corner. If you're in the mood for some non-Doctor-Who reading, Stories is out this Tuesday, which, incidentally, also happens to be the Macintosh release date of City of the Daleks.  | ||

| Return to House on Haunted Hill Posted: 12 Jun 2010 04:27 AM PDT  It's always a surprise when a sequel turns out to be good fun in its own right, and this one, a sequel to 1999's House on Haunted Hill, which was in turn a remake of the 1959 original, is not at all bad.First off, however, it really has little to do with the original film, aside from featuring the same house, and a similar collection of ghostly inhabitants. This time, there's an idol hidden somewhere in the house which is trapping all the spirits there. The idol is the focus for a disparate group of people to assemble at the clifftop mansion, and go in search of the object. The film is somewhat confused in terms of all the different characters, and I couldn't hope to try and explain it without help ... so here's what Wikipedia says about the basic set up: Ariel Wolfe is the sister of Sara Wolfe, a survivor of an massacre some years ago in the sanatorium known as the "Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane", which was overseen long ago by the sadistic psychiatrist Dr. Vannacutt. Sara claims that ghosts had killed all those who entered the building, but no one believes her. When Sara commits suicide, Ariel tries to find out why.  The film is enjoyable as something you can watch and appreciate the GCI effects, inventive deaths, and general ghostly mayhem as it all careers to the ending. The characters are also quite interesting: the two girls are pretty good to look at, Amanda Righetti (Ariel) seems to get wet quite a lot and Cerina Vincent (Michelle) has an amazing chest. There's even Andrew Lee Potts off of Primeval in there - with an American accent - and lots of guns.Another thing I liked was that on the Blu-Ray version, there are nine places in the narrative where you can choose what the characters do, leading to different scenes, characters dying at different points, all leading to - it seems - one of four different endings for the film. The disk also includes the Director's cut - which I assume is the one which Wikipedia's synopsis details (here). I didn't watch that, but chose to experiment with the interactive film, leading to some degree of fun, as the film really does play out differently if you choose different options. I liked the way in particular that, at one point, if Ariel goes for the map, all the cast are killed in gunfire immediately afterwards and the film ends about half an hour early! Some would be cruel and suggest you take that option to shorten the misery, but I did genuinely enjoy the film, and will watch the Director's cut at some point to see what was actually in that version.  As I say, as sequels go, it's a good way to spend an evening and quite diverting. There's even some lesbian zombies, and a nurse ghoul who seems to be straight out of Silent Hill (though nowhere near as creepy as those rubber-clad ghoulies). Sometimes a horror film doesn't have to pretend to be high art, and is just there to be drawn along with, laughed at, and in this case, interactively adjusted.  | ||

Understand any of that? Neither do I; nor do I believe it particularly matters, which is just as well as CNET UK and Paul Eaton, a guest writer for the BBC Internet Blog discussing the issue on the Beeb's behalf, agree. The subject of picture quality is a fork in the road. Half of television's audience will adorn its battle armour and fight to the death for an ever-so-slightly crisper image, and the other half doesn't really care, as long as it can make out what's happening on screen without having to squint. CNET, Eaton, and this Kasterborous contributor seem to fall somewhere in the middle. While we recognise that image quality is an important factor in modern, over-the-air, visual entertainment, especially for those who pay extra to receive such a service, sometimes concerning oneself with trivial subjects as bit rates and encoding processes is slightly overcooking it, especially when the
Yes, the bit rate matters if it's dropped by one billion percent, but a slight dip for budget-conserving reasons is perfectly acceptable so long as the image quality is made up for with top-notch cameras and cinematographers who know what they're doing when it comes to focus, brightness, and other basic necessities for our eyes that have been rendered especially important because of high definition. All this "encoding" bickering really ought to stop. Whatever happened to enjoying a programme for what it contained, and not for how sharp it looked?  | ||

Calling all Young Who fans; this is your chance to take part in the Doctor Who Book Challenge – taking place in libraries across North Yorkshire from 23rd June until 3rd July.
Digital Spy recently caught up with James Corden to chat about this Saturday's The Lodger which sees the Gavin and Stacey star/writer appear as Craig Owens, the ordinary man sharing a flat with the Doctor which happens to contain the worlds most malevolent staircase.
Several months ago, the BBC was forced to deal with a mob of furious HD channel viewers from all (British) corners of the internet. The reason? A significant reduction in bit rate for the broadcaster's high-definition stream which preceded an avalanche of complaints concerningpicture quality that the BBC attempted to make up for by using a more efficient encoder.
