  1. I appreciate that it's not easy to fit 14 guys on one poster, but I think the placement is a bit off. Particularly Edge, whose decapitated head is just lying in the bottom right corner. I'd suggest making the logo a bit smaller so you have some more space to work with.

    The cuts of Morrison and Truth don't really fit either - everyone else is looking serious, those two are grinning like Cheshire cats.

  2. Attack of the Killer App - Absolutely amazing episode, one that will go down as one of the better episodes of Futurama overall if the references don't age quickly. Everything about it, including diving in a pool full of vomit and shit, and Susan the boil, sums up the Internet and Apple craze perfectly. The satire is as cutting as some of the best episodes of The Simpsons.

    I think the references are already pretty dated. South Park, The Simpsons and 30 Rock all parodied Susan Boyle last year, and I doubt there's a comedy show on TV that hasn't made the same "iPhone users are sheep"/"Twitter is pointless" observations. I found it all a bit obvious, and not at all "cutting".

    It was better than the first two, but I'm still underwhelmed so far.

  3. PFA results:

  4. Benayoun to Dynamo Moscow.

    "Dynamo sporting director Konstantin Sarsania said: 'It is true that we have come to an agreement with the player's agent. In the next two days, Liverpool will make their own decision.

    'When we completed the signing of Andriy Voronin, consent was given by Benitez. Now the Liverpool coach is against losing Benayoun, but the decision is not his, it is for the club's directors.

    'The transfer of Benayoun will happen if the price is acceptable. If they want more than we expect, the board of directors will discuss the issue.'"

  5. Gameweek 15 takes place this weekend (16th and 17th of January).

    Gameweek 16 will include Liverpool vs. Tottenham on the 20th of January, Manchester United vs. Hull on the 23rd of January and the eight games on the 26th and 27th of January. You'll need to post a team by the 20th, but because of the delay between games you can change any of the players who haven't featured yet before they do.

    So if you pick John Terry and he gets injured in training on the 24th, you can replace him with a player in your squad who hasn't already played.

    Complicated, but we have to make up for the postponed games.

  6. I'm hoping to do a screenwriting course next year, and I imagine those three (or at least the Syd Field and Robert McKee books) will be recommended reading.

    Can anyone suggests a book that deals with screenwriting for television, specifically? Obviously the basics are the same, but I'd like a book that explains things in the context of television rather than film. Particularly the three act structure.
