Insane Reason Behind American SNES Design Difference

Games consoles always vary from region to region but they by and large look the same. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System or SNES we in Ireland played with looks pretty much the same as the Japanese Super Famicom. America however received an entirely different beast. If you;ve ever wondered why the American SNES looked so […]

Ew Tube – The Golden Age Of TV Commercials

In case you haven’t noticed, I mainly use the wonderful invention of YouTube to do something everyone else in the world hates: watch ads. This week I decided to share some of my favourite American commercials from the 1950s, a fantastic era for television. I could have picked the most dated, sexist and racist examples […]

Fantastic Four Producer Wants A Sequel

Almost everyone will agree that Josh Trank‘s Fantastic Four was an utter disaster for everyone concerned. And that’s being kind. Amazingly though, Simon Kinberg, producer and co-writer of the decade’s most catastrophic failure still wants to make a sequel. Speaking to Den of Geek about it, Kinberg who has enjoyed much success with the X-Men franchise simply […]

Civil War Secrets Revealed By Production Designer

The production designer needs to represent the characters in much the same way as costumes and make up. Australian production designer Owen Paterson, who made his name with The Matrix Trilogy and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, recently spoke to Hitffx about how his work on Captain America: Civil War reveals information […]

Simon Bates And The BBFC – Forgotten Childhood

As much as I abhor the concept of film censorship, the assignment of age certificates makes perfect sense to me. While they still may have some outdated notions about what people of a certain age can and can’t see, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is the most fair and consistent organisation to do so. Compared […]

Old Adverts I Loved To Imitate – EwTube

I never change channel during the commercial breaks. I actually like watching the ads. Always have done. Even as a kid I actually liked watching them and would sing along to the occasional jingle. Much as I hate to give a snippet of credence to moral guardians, children do imitate what they see on TV, […]

Grim Tales With Rik Mayall – Forgotten Childhood

I’ve been on a total Roald Dahl nostalgia trip ever since that The BFG trailer. George’s Marvelous Medicine, the story of a perfectly normal boy who not quite inadvertently creates a magic potion and gives it unpleasant and cantankerous grandmother, is my favourite of them all. The only screen adaptation it has received was a five-part […]
