Who Am I? Sherlock Holmes, Khan, Julian Assange, Christopher Tietjens, Ford, Patrick Watts or Smaug?

by

Another week, and another fun quiz, courtesy of PlayBuzz.com...

This one is a very (not so) scientific one that can tell us without any doubt whatsoever which one of those people we are. Yes, really!

And I can reveal straight away that I'm very happy with my result. Oh yes!

I am none other than the greatest detective of all times, Sherlock Holmes himself (must be true as it's what this quiz said, isn't it?)


"You're Sherlock! There's no denying your intelligence and people secretly wish they were a bit more like you. You might boast a bit, but with a brain like yours, why wouldn't you?"
Exactly!  It's so me described to a "t" here, incredible, isn't it?

I can hear you asking where can you do that quiz and find out who you are as soon as possible... Well, it's conveniently  embedded below so that you can find out without any time being wasted. Handy, isn't it?

Have fun!

Holy 75th Anniversary, Batman! Let's Watch The 1949 "Batman And Robin" Movie!

by

Yep, the Cape Crusader has been around for 75 years already... time flies when one's having fun fighting crime, doesn't it?


To celebrate this important milestone in the DC's superheroes universe, we will post some videos with Batman in them during the next few weeks... and we've started the ball rolling with a mega post with 15 videos in it. 15 videos, because that's the number of episodes the 1949 "Batman and Robin" movie (the one with Robert Lowery and Johnny Duncanhas, and there is one episode per video. Like in the "good old days" when some of the movies were serials, you know... 


A quite lengthy trip to memory lane that was made possible thanks to our faithful old TARDIS... (Oh, okay, it's from Dailymotion.com, really, but it's still a great find and, hopefully, you will enjoy it as much as we did.)


Have fun!

'Batman and Robin' - 1949

Storyline:

Antisocial Prof. Hammil's Remote Control device, which enables the user to take over any motor vehicle within 50 miles (!), is stolen by The Wizard, black-hooded mastermind, and his gang. Batman and Robin (who drive about in a standard convertible) must prevent the Wizard from obtaining diamonds, needed as fuel for the device, and rescue magazine photographer Vicki Vale from periodic perils. Where is the Wizard's base, reached only by remote controlled submarine? Which of several suspicious characters hides beneath the Wizard's hood? Written by Rod Crawford

Trivia:

Batman drives a 1949 Mercury convertible throughout, but, in one instance, when the need arises, Robin shows up in a 1949 Mercury four-door sedan, which is apparently his own; meanwhile, the Wizard drives a 1949 Mercury two-door sedan; Winslow Harrison drives a 1949 four-door Lincoln sedan; and the cops use a number of 1949 Fords, all of them innovatingly styled products of the Ford Motor Company, who must have had the only new car dealership in Gotham City. The Wizard's henchmen make a lot of use out of a 1941 Lincoln 8 passenger sedan, while Vicki Vale must make the best of it with a 1939 Plymouth convertible. (more trivia can be found on the IMDb site)

Quotes:

Vicki Vale: Untie me please!
Batman: Haven't got time; you'll be all right. Don't go away!
Officer Murphy: You can't go in there!
Vicki Vale: Well, I'm Vicki Vale of Picture magazine.
Officer Murphy: Vicki Vale, eh? Well, I'm Officer Murphy of the Patrol Bureau. You still can't go in there!

'The Fall Of Chicago' & 'TV Spot'- The New 'Transformers: Age Of Extinction' Trailers Have Landed!

by

There have been quite a few videos posted on the official Transformers: Age of Extinction YouTube account these last few days so, if you're a Transformers fan, it might be worth a visit or two... and, so is the Transformers are Dangerous site (where I watched the "Fall of Chicago" trailer first and borrowed the pictures for today's post from). Wow! The content on that site is definitely in tune with the movie's "An automobile mechanic and his daughter make a discovery that brings down the Autobots and Decepticons - and a paranoid government official - on them.story line. It practically oozes paranoia! Loved it!


I've chosen two of the recent trailers for today's post: 'The Fall of Chicago' (apparently still unlisted on YouTube, by the way) and the 'TV Spot' ones... I do hope you'll like them as much as I did.

Enjoy!

Janice Atkinson - Do The British Voters Really Want That Woman To Represent Them In Europe?

by
UKIP MEP candidate, Janice Atkinson, giving the finger to members of the public

UKIP MEP candidate, Janice Atkinson, might have misunderstood the "get your finger out" expression that day she decided to let her finger do the talking when challenged about some the UK Independence Party's policies (click here for more details) but there is no excuse for any politician to behave in such fashion (and, no, I'm not talking about her pink jacket here) while canvassing for votes.
