SO pleased to finally see Hellboy II this week. Sure, there's a lot of worthy reasons to see the film, Pan's Labyrinth mastermind Guillermo del Torro directing and all that.... Actually, that's the only worthy reason. The rest is just nonsense. And as such, long live Hellboy!

Hails to Neil Fitzmaurice, and his plans for a Liverpool "comedy night with a difference".
COMEDY, like everything else, is a bit thin on the ground this time of year, what with the stand ups decamping to Edinburgh and most of the theatres dark for most of the month.
(Except for the Royal Court, where Eight Miles High (starring Keith Carter among others) still has a few days to go and which I'm checking out tonight - but then again, turns out one of their mid-August Rawhides has been cancelled - what's going on?!).
So, we're reduced to snooping around the net and checking up on how things are going North of the border for our Scouse brethren.
