“We don’t know how you stand on horse-based violence, but we can’t get enough of it. Man creeps up, horse boots him in the face, man dies. Repeat. Now we’re having fun.”

“Imagine this – one day you’re happily practising your samurai techniques when up pops a bloke out of nowhere, telling you that the world you live in has been completely changed! Obviously this is likely to worry you a bit.”

It wasn’t what I had planned for this month’s update, but here’s something: another chapter of that Zelda playthrough!
What I had planned was a “some games I played in 2012” article, only this time I’d also be covering books, movies, TV shows and whatever else of interest. It got a bit hideously long and half the stuff I didn’t write notes for, so most of the early entries amount to “I think it was okay, I guess?” Which admittedly isn’t that far off from my real reviews.
It might show up eventually, but it’s not even half-finished yet. I’ll see what happens! To tide you over, here’s the review I wrote for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, which was shown on BBC1 around Christmas.

What strange and startling developments have occurred in the life of Ragey over the past four months?
Not much, really. Well, for starters, my feet have somehow been inflicted with every injury known to man – scrapes, bruises, blisters, cuts, everything short of frostbite, from the heel to the sides to the toes. And even the sides of my toes. And given how my personal solution to every health problem in existence is “walk it off”, it’s pretty aggravating! It doesn’t help that every pair of boots I have seems to be the cause of these inconveniences. Who can you trust when you can’t trust your own shoes?
I went to see the new James Bond flick recently, Skyfall. Twice, even! Was it just that good? Well, it just happened to be a decent movie to view with two lots of family members. Thanks to having not one but two opportunities to discuss it with folks, here’s a fat stack of words about it! Spoilers ahoy.
