Andrew's wonderful world of pop culture

aussiemoose

I am an extrovert gay man living in Sydney who loves Indian food, current affairs, music, film and reading, caramel anything, and a beautiful guy called Steve who makes every day a delight. I am trying to get two novels in a trilogy ready for e-publication, love my iPhone & iPod, and am secretly Canadian in my soul. Life is fun, exciting and joyful and I aim to make the absolute most of it!

Posted on January 16, 2013January 16, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Yet another sad day looms in the world of adventurous, interesting TV. The final episode of Fringe airs this Friday US time (it also functions as the series’ 100th episode), and behold it makes this fanboy mighty sad. If one thing has become abundantly clear as you read my Continue Reading

  We all know the feeling. You’re enjoying a luminously transcendant night out with someone special, enclosed in your own perfect bubble of a world and quite naturally enough, you don’t want it to come to an end.

Some lighthearted “The Big Bang Theory” fun for the weekend

Posted on January 13, 2013January 10, 2013 by aussiemoose

  I discovered this gem on the web today, traced it back to its original home – made sense it was the official site the-big-bang-theory.com – and had to share it since (a) I love this show and (b) the “Soft Kitty” song rocks and this homage to it is wonderful Continue Reading

R’ha: the future of sci-fi greatness

Posted on January 11, 2013January 11, 2013 by aussiemoose

  There’s a huge amount of buzz on the interweb today about a little six minute sci-fi film from an aspiring German film director, and not without good cause. It is, quite simply, amazing. Made over seven months and drawing from established sci-fi properties like Terminator and Battlestar Galactica without Continue Reading

Teaser poster for “The Walking Dead” mid-season 3 return released

Posted on January 10, 2013January 11, 2013 by aussiemoose

  As I suspected the Governor, who lost an eye and his zombie-fied daughter in a violent tussle with Michonne in his very own secret fishtanks-full-of-zombie-heads chamber o’ horrors – the perfect place to rest and relax after tending to your Stepford Wives-esque refuge from the apocalypse don’t you think?

The dark shadows of “Utopia”

Posted on January 10, 2013January 16, 2013 by aussiemoose

  There was a time, a kindler, gentle less connected time when reading comic books was something that kids did on rainy days, escaping into magical worlds where superheroes saved the world (when, of course they weren’t being existentially sick to the stomach about it; I’m talking to you Batman).

“The Big Bang Theory” boldly goes “Into Darkness”

Posted on January 8, 2013January 10, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Well not quite. In fact they go to Bakersfield in this week’s episode (entitled appropriately enough “The Bakersfield Expedition”) for a comic book convention, all dressed up in their finest Star Trek: The Next Generation regalia, and have to get some help from the townsfolk in a diner when Continue Reading

The possibly bright and shiny-ish future of “Community”

Posted on January 7, 2013January 8, 2013 by aussiemoose

  I am at heart an optimistic kind of guy. While I keep a watchful eye on the unpredictable vicissitudes of reality which have a habit of upending even the most Pollyanna-esque of apple carts, and acknowledge that all the Tony Robbins’ positivity in the world won’t protect me from Continue Reading
