Feeling Dizzy

By Jon Magne | Published: October 27, 2008
“If you think you can talk about quantum theory without feeling dizzy, you haven’t understood the first thing about it.” – Niels Bohr (as quoted in my physics textbook at the start of chapter 4, “Quantum Physics”) Other gems from Wikiquote include: “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether [...]

Let Me Show You My Ellis

By Jon Magne | Published: October 25, 2008
That does sound kind of dirty, doesn’t it? Well, that’s probably ’cause it is. Last year I read and reviewed a book called “Crooked Little Vein” by Warren Ellis. It was then, and remains to this very date the most twisted, lobotomisingly delightful piece of literature I’ve ever set my eyes on. It was, in other [...]

I’ve slowly and steadily been building up a relationship with the Marvel universe over the last year. Not only have I been reading up on some of the newer Marvel titles and checking out some of the bigger Event books like “Civil War”, but I’ve also dipped my beak into the cookie jars of some [...]

And they were good. I got a new Playstation 3 for a thousand kroners less than sale price in Norway. Thank you, Amazon! Got around to [...]

2001: A Space Od(d)yssey

By Jon Magne | Published: October 18, 2008
Yes, I know. If my title puns get any better now I might as well throw in the towel and proclaim myself a blogging divinity. But until that time comes (and it will!), I’ll try to put down some words on this old science fiction classic of a movie. Please note the stress, people. I’ll [...]

Boston Legal, Season 1

By Jon Magne | Published: October 4, 2008
“You hear the one about the fella who died? Went to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter let him in. Sees a guy in a suit making a closing argument and says, “Who’s that?” St. Peter says, “Oooohhh, that’s God.

Tropic Thunder

By Jon Magne | Published: October 2, 2008
The fact that I went to the theatres to watch this movie should actually be quite astounding. Why, you ask? Well, not so much because it stars Ben Stiller (who is easily negated by the omnipotent actor-genius Robert Downey Jr.). And not so much because it’s directed by Ben Stiller (which is more than forgiveable [...]

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

By Jon Magne | Published: October 1, 2008
Those of you who either have a startlingly detailed memory or spend a little too much time obessing over my reviews will remember the hugely entertaining little thing I wrote about the original movie. In many ways I think it was one of my better posts, because it was both easy and fun to read, [...]
