It’s not very long and it doesn’t show you that much, but here’s a promo for AMC’s remake of The Prisoner, starring Jim Caviezel and Sir Ian McKellen. It’ll be showing in 2010 in the UK on ITV1 in case you were wondering.

Today’s Sitting Tennants: A new regime begins today



Where was Sitting Tennant on Friday, I hear you ask? Well, I don’t actually. No one seemed to notice it wasn’t there. In fact, the last Sitting Tennant only got six comments. Oh dear. I’m sensing burn out. I’m sensing ennui. I’m sensing… Summer.
So after some random idea bouncing on Twitter, here’s the new plan: bi-weekly Sitting Tennant. On Monday, a simple selection of Tennants in a sitting position, one from each contributor, to replace Dick Heads, which, let’s face it, even Armitage’s Army couldn’t be bothered with, really.
These Sitting Tennants will purely be for enjoyment, so no captions please, unless you feel inspired, since they won’t contribute to your points.
Then on Friday, the best pic from the current stash will go up by itself. That one will be for captioning purposes as well. I’ll be mulling over the points system, but since the inspiration/bonus points thing didn’t seem to be too inspiring, and the new system should do away with the need to some extent, I might well be phasing out the dead wood. How about simply 10 points for the best caption, with as many attempts as you like?
Let me know what you think.
Until then, have some pictures of David Tennant sitting down. Here’s the picture board:
- Rullsenberg: 23.5
- Sister Chastity: 20.5
- Jaradel: 19.5
- Rosby: 2.5
- Persephone: 1
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. You can also enter the witting and amusing captions league table by commenting on existing photos in the gallery.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: Getting Obsessed

Well, it’s out in the cinemas in the UK right now, so why not watch our Ali getting Obsessed. It may be complete rubbish, but at least
- Ali’s in it and she’s very good in it
- Idris Elba’s in it and he’s very good in it
- Beyoncé’s in it
- It’s not exactly the plot of Fatal Attraction, only very, very close
- Ali gets to hit Beyoncé several times
- It’s not even a 15 certificate so you can take your kids to watch Beyoncé getting hit
I think those are good recommendations, don’t you?
Have you seen Ali Larter acting randomly? If so, let us know and we’ll tell everyone about it in “Random Acts of Ali Larter“
