Knowing when to stop is a good thing

Unless you'v been living under a very big rock in the middle of a very large desert you can't help but notice that the new "in thing" at the moment in movies is to have movies in 3D. A fact that always amuses Grumpy as he likes to keep pointing out that 3D was the " in thing" years ago. The 3D craze has got to a point that there are some films being released where it states that their only availabile in 2D in selected cinemas

However seeing as the next film to be announced as being released in 3D is a live action version of Yogi Bear, yes that's right the Yogi Bear cartoon you can't help feeling that now would be a good time for film makers to stop, take a deep breath and put their shiny new 3D toy back into the box and only get it out if it would actually add something to the film.

In the news today there was a story about someone who quite their job in what must be a contender for one of the best " leaving with style" stories ever. A Flight attendent after having a argument with a passenger, announced his departure via the tannoy, grabbed a beer and then exited the plane by using the emergency slide.

The BBC have just announced that they will be making a new series of Sherlock holmes but it will be at least a year before any new episodes are shown. NOOoooooooo!!!!! they can't do that, not after the cliffhanger they ended the episode on Sunday with!

Well at least Torchwood should be back on in the meantime.

Speaking of sci-fi things, the next episode of the series " The deep" should be on tonight, it has a lot of slamming from sci-fi websites and magazines. One site only gave it one star! Still it has a lot of potential, lets hope it lives up to it as opposed to going doing the oh so easy cliche route.

Anyway,

Later folks.

I love that leaving with style story.

You have to think that a company would be sad to lose an employee with such creativity. Love it.
