Panasonic Blu-Ray DMP BDT110

Just a wee reminder that you only have until the end of Wednesday to enter the competition to win the £180 Panasonic Blu-Ray 3D player – and all you have to do is enter is leave a comment on the blog! How easy is that?

Also, TMINE now has its own dedicated feed on Twitter, which also includes the latest TV news, so follow that to stay up to date. I’ll stop tweeting TMINE news on my own feed from the end of the month.

COMPETITION TIME: win a Panasonic DMP-BDT110 Blu-Ray 3D player!

Panasonic Blu-Ray DMP BDT110

Yes, UK readers (sorry everyone else), now’s your chance to win a Skype- and WiFi-compatible Panasonic Blu-ray player – it does 3D, too. Ooh! – as reviewed last week on this ‘ere blog.

Since this is a blog that runs competitions of skill rather than pure luck (well, usually), I’ve thought long and hard about what kind of competition to run here. Finally, I’ve hit on the answer.

So from now until the end of the month (11.59pm 30th November), anyone leaving a comment anywhere on this ‘ere blog (one that abides by the commenting guidelines) will automatically be entered into the competition. At the end of the month, the person who wrote the best comment – which could mean smartest, funniest or whatever I decide – will win the Blu-Ray player.

Note, if you feel you’ve already written the best comment you’re ever going to write on this blog, just email me a link to the entry on which you left it to enter it into the competition. And if you’re worried I might not write anything between now and then that will inspire you to come up with your best comments, you can leave the comment on an old entry, which you can find either with the search engine at the top right of the page or by using the reviews A-Z or the complete archives list.

I should probably mention at this point that you have to live in the UK and be over 18 (or have the permission of a parent or guardian) to enter the competition and if anyone quibbles, consider these the rules.

Oh, and I should also mention that those nice people at Tesco provided the Blu-Ray player: Tesco Blu-Ray Players or Blu-Ray players from Tesco Direct

UPDATE: You are definitely not going to win simply by saying you deserve it, you like Panasonic goods, etc. The winner be will someone who says something clever (or funny) ON ANY ONE of the the entries on this blog (there are nearly 5,000 now), almost certainly about TV or film, in response to what I’ve written. I’m trying to encourage creativity here!

PS You can enter as many times as you like and you’ve still got until the end of the month!

NBC tries to make us all watch The Cape

The Cape in New York

NBC is trying its very hardest to get us to watch The Cape, which starts on Sunday at 9pm ET before moving to Mondays on the 17th. It’s about an ordinary guy (Vince Faraday, played by David Lyons) who decides to become a superhero and despite the presence of Summer Glau and Vinnie Jones in the cast, everything about it that I’ve seen suggests “complete cobblers” and makes me wonder why they cancelled Heroes.

Look – see for yourself.

Looks rubbish, huh?

All the same, NBC is pulling out all the stops in an effort to get this probable turkey to fly. This week, it’s been fitting capes to statues in New York. Beneath each statue is a plaque that details the historical figure’s greatest achievement and similarities to Faraday. Visitors to the statues will also be able to enter the “Hero Behind the Cape” giveaway via FourSquare and Twitter. By checking in at the location of a statue, tweeting a picture of yourself with the statue with the hashtag #herobehindthecapeswps or by direct messaging the official Twitter account, you can enter yourself into a competition.

One winner will be chosen each day between January 5-9 and receive an Apple iPad. The grand prize winner will receive the full “Hero” treatment in New York City: a luxurious dinner for two, limo service, two tickets to the taping of an NBC audience show and an Apple iPad.

Sounds good, but you’re still not going to watch it, are you?
