Seeing “The Dark Knight Rises” at the Science Museum iMax Cinema

I’d heard that this was one of the best places to see the film, but I hadn’t realised just how amazing a cinema it was. The screen really is huge, immense even. As for the film, well I just wasn’t ready for something on the epic scale that is “The Dark Knight Rises”. It is an incredible journey of a film, an excellent script and a superb plot.

In fact it makes me want to see the other two films right away. I just can’t wait for the boxed set!

Goodbye Mary

So sad to hear this morning that Mary Tamm has died aged 62. I don’t really have the right words for this sort of thing, it’s probably best to just say that I think I need to watch the entire Key to Time story again now.

Blake’s 7: The Liberator Chronicles 1.1: The Turing Test

I’d been really looking forward to getting this set of three stories. They arrived this morning and I’ve just finished listening to the first of them. So far I’m sad to say that I’m a little disappointed in them. For a start it isn’t a full cast drama, it’s effectively narrated by Paul Darrow with some additional voice from Michael Keating. That’s ok, but really I’d have preferred a full cast for this. Secondly, the story was ok, but not brilliant.

So I’m hopeful that the next two stories will live up to my expectations a little better. I’ll let you know as I go.

Launchpad: Clicks

An interesting experiment at Launchpad in the Science Museum. This made some cool clicks and percussive sounds depending on what surface you placed the boxes on.
