Colbert in Australia

Andy Cocker — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:26:50 +0000

If your new year’s resolution was to watch more The Colbert Report, then you’re set. It is now being broadcast, ad-free, on ABC weekdays at 7:30pm. And, more importantly, is also on iView.

Awake at Last

I’m not sure I recall what I used to do before Dragon Age: Origins. Hopefully it’ll come to me shortly. Bloody BioWare.

Trek Love

A review will surely appear, but until it does, I feel like somewhere on this site we should add our voices to the choir and mention how awesome Star Trek is. Or, as Hoyts cinema insist on calling it, Star Trek 11 — a name that completely works against the way they’ve been trying to market it. There’s a reason why we didn’t see Batman V or James Bond 22.

The Age on a Page

Tom Charman — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 03:00:11 +0000

If anyone uses RSS and likes The Age, then this could be the feed for you. Using Yahoo Pipes, I’ve made a tiny change to the Age’s Top Headlines feed, so that it always links to the “single page” version of the article. Here it is.

Important Get This Bulletin

I don’t know if anyone knew this, but if you did, shame on you for not telling me. After Richard Marsland’s death last year, Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee (and Matt Dower) reunited to pay tribute to the great Armitage Shanks.

Return from NZ

Tom Charman — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:24:10 +0000

I could not find the Internet in New Zealand. What will follow over the next day or so are the time-delayed blogs from my travels.

More Mo

Tom Charman — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:46:36 +0000

This [NaNoWriMo](http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/420554) stuff is *hard*. And it’s sucking time which should be being used to fix up our archives, or even, god forbid, write new reviews. So apologies, gentle readers. If you’re very unlucky, perhaps you’ll get to read two 50,000 word [opera](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/opus) at the end of all this.

WordPress Migration

Tom Charman — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:41:13 +0000

Incidentally, if anyone’s noticed that all the old articles have gone wacky again — though I can’t see why they would have — it’s because I’ve just switched to WordPress. It’s possible that this has something to do with it. Normal service will gradually be resumed.

Claire Who

Tom Charman — Sun, 25 May 2008 22:30:04 +0000

Discovered on Good News Week tonight that Claire Hooper knows who Davros is and thus might well be the perfect woman. Also, she apparently has a lump on her neck, and I used to have one of those, so we’ve totally got that in common. It was meant to be. She’s certainly my favourite Australian comedy variety program team captain. Suck it up, Myf.

Randomly Gone

Tom Charman — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:55:04 +0000

Heh. It’s just possible I forgot to renew the domain registration and atypicalreview.com temporarily disappeared. But if you didn’t notice, then it almost certainly didn’t happen.
