Answers

Good afternoon. I believe it is time for me to give you answers. About what is happening to this poor blog that I insist on messing around with at every opportunity. So here I am, explaining everything. That's if you've not given up on blogLSP due to my constant fiddling with it.

O.K., let's start from the beginning, shall we?
blogLSP started and was running from December 2007. It was a blog spin-off from my Piczo site, LSPonline (originally "leagueofsupremeplanets") and it focused on what I like to call geekoids, which are basically cult things. When Doctor Who is running, I tend to do a review of every episode, hence a review each week, except when damn eurovision is on. I also post news on upcoming geekoid movies, such as superhero movies, sci-fi etc. and do an awful lot of reviews. There was a point when a did a review of everything I watched or read! Needless to say, I have too much of a life (or I watch too much) to do that now.
For LSP, I kept the persona of the "LSPlord", a unexplained figure that was never shown. I always concealed my age, so that nobody would know how old I was, and I never spoke about my life when blogging. Because I'm just 13, I liked the idea of people reading my blog and believing that I was just an exceptionally nerdy adult. And I spent the first year of blogging doing just that- believing. But soon there was a moment when I didn't have to believe;
In 2006, I'd won an auction to meet my favourite author, horror writer, Darren Shan. I spent an hour with he and his publisher eating a pizza. Now, being an aspiring writer myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this. A year or so later, I decided that I would search for blogLsp on Google. The first result to come up was Darren Shan's official website, which featured my LSP review for one of his books. Understandably, I felt proud that he had no idea that the review had been written by me! It wasn't even a particularly positive one!!!

Despite this discovery, after a while, I felt that I should reveal my true identity to the British public, and wrote a post announcing that I would reveal myself soon in a YouTube video. So I waited until I could use a camera to film the video.
A couple of weeks later, I did indeed film it on my Grandmother's digital camera, and spent about two hours of my evening trying to upload it. After two hours, I hadn't got anywhere in my attempts to get it on the net, so I gave up, and decided I would try and upload it again next time I visited the house. But soon the Christmas hols came, and I knew that I wouldn't be visiting my Grandma for a while, so I started to make changes to my blog anyway, and put on a few pictures of me.
Christmas soon came, and I received a digital video camera from my Mum. I wanted to use it to make some V-logs, inspired by people like charlieissocoollike, and nerimon. So I recorded a few which I'm planning to upload once my editing software is sorted.
In conclusion, my plan now is to have an LSP Empire including my YouTube channel, this blog, and my proboards forum, discussLSP.
In addition to this, on the first day back to school, my mate Josh mentioned Five Awesome Guys, and we're planning to have a 5AG of our own- the only problem being that there are only currently two of us...
Moreover, I hope that Josh and I's Five Awesome Guys project goes ahead, and I hope that you enjoy the upcoming LSP Empire. It will be awesomes. But until then, that's all folks!

The Time Has Come

Good afternoon. I have something very important to tell you today. In my two month absence, I have been in a mid life crisis. I've started listening to Barry Manilow, wearing Dr. Martens etc. and have decided that I'd better write this post before I change my mind. Over the past few months I have grown tired of concealing my identity, and have decided that I should reveal to my millions of fans (lol) who I really am. Very very soon (the date will be announced shortly), I will reveal to the world in a YouTube announcement who I really am...
Until next time, that's all, folks...

I'm back...

Goo afternoon. Well, I've been on my holidays to Rexel 4- it was a nice place, but the people there were a little wordy! I've got a few things to tell you about:

1. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO..?
The "Whatever Happened to...?" short stories should be online by January 2009. I've had a few setbacks in my career and so don't have much time on my hands. I'm a busy guy!

2. SERIES FOUR AWARDS
These should be online very soon so vote now or forever hold your peace.

3. THE Nth DOCTOR
I recently got this book and it has had me hooked ever since. For those who don't know, it's a guide to the seven scripts that were written for Doctor Who films between 1987 and 1996. Some of them would have made absolutely incredible films whereas some are just ridiculous- if you read it you'll understand. Included are scripts involving Pierce Brosnan as the Doctor, pre-first Doctors, black triangular TARDISes and one script where the Fourth Doctor is the central Doctor (and Ace is the central companion).

4. REVIEWS TO COME
Soon I will be reviewing the following items:
-The Key to Time
- The Dalek Invasion of Earth
- Inferno
- The Gallifrey Chronicles
and many, many more...
Thanks for reading. I love you guys. That's all, folks.

Whatever Happened To...?

Good afternoon. Now, this will be something rather new to blogLSP. What I am about to tell you is something that blogLSP has never encountered before: a sparkling gem of revolution that will lighten up the hearts of all whovians across the cosmos. It is, ladies, gentlemen, and Raston Warrior Robots, "Whatever Happened To...?"

"Whatever Happened To...?" is a series of short stories about the adventures of ex-companions of the Doctor- ones that all viewers were intrigued to find out more about, and maybe even the more boring ones that have hidden genius within them. They will be released in threes, and will ignore all explored in novels, comic strips and audio adventures. And they will show how even the companions that did nothing but smile and wear short skirts were influenced by the Doctor. It will be rare that they will feature the Doctor, although regularly they will feature other companions/monsters from the Series. I hope you shall all enjoy. The first collection will include the adventures of Harry Sullivan, Tegan Jovanka, and Adam Mitchell, and will be released on the web in various different ways. More details will be revealed soon, but until then, that's all, folks.

Cirque Unearthly Knight Wars.

Good afternoon. Sorry that I haven't posted for a while. I'm going to make up for it with a couple of reviews and exciting things (hence the obscure title). First of all, I've recently watched the first ever Doctor Who serial, An Unearthly Child and would like to review that for you. So, here goes:

A AN UNEARTHLY CHILD
*****
RUNNING TIME: 100 mins approx. STARS: William Hartnell, Carole Ann Ford, William Russell, Jacqueline Hill.

IN A NUTSHELL:
A lovely start to Doctor Who, if dragged out a little. And have I ever mentioned my dislike to the First Doctor before, because now might be a good time?

MY HUMBLE OPINION:
Don't get me wrong, you can tell that this episode is from the '60s, but it's aged well, probably due to the fact that the majority of it is set in the prehistoric ages. But, anyhow, although there's some '60s melodrama in there, it is a decent story.
Ian, Barbara and Susan were a good choice of companions to kick off the series- it could have just as easily have been kicked off with Leela, considering the circumstances, but it wouldn't have been the same show. The audience needs somebody like them- somebody that they can relate to- it was the same with Rose in 2005.
The latter episodes, after the first, focus on battling tribes in 100, 000 B.C., a strange, yet compelling start. These episodes follow the Doctor and his companions being captured, then escaping, then being captured again, eccetera, something that went on for a little too long.
I would like to say that the First Doctor had a promising start, but unfortunately I cannot. If that grumpy old so-and-so that kidnaps innocent schoolteachers and contemplates murdering sick cavemen is my Doctor, then my name's Michael Jackson. He's changed so much for the better. And I like him as he is now. He's fresh. I guess this Doctor developed with age.
And the end of the episode is beautifully cheesy- "How's the radiation level, Susan?" "It's reading normal, Grandfather"......"DANGER!"

So, there's your first review this afternoon. Back to business, the second point is that the first picture has been released for the February Cirque Du Freak movie. Here it is, baby-

I think it's rather groovy. Click to enlarge. Willem Dafoe has also been cast as Gavner Purl.

Now, this next point has been sprung on me rather unexpectedly- the new Clone Wars movie! This little funky piece of CGI Sci-fi anime is, like the 2D TV series aired on Cartoon Network, set in-between Star Wars episodes II and III and follows the kidnap of Jabba the Hutt's son. It is released in the UK on the 15th August and is being made by Warner Bros. rather than the usual 20th century Fox. To see the trailer, visit the Internet Movie Database.

And, finally, to spectacularly close the post, we have a review of the long-awaited "The Dark Knight":

THE DARK KNIGHT
*****
RUNNING TIME: 152 mins. STARS: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman. RATING: 12A

IN A NUTSHELL:
A drastic improvement from the first in the series and an emotional scary and generally brilliant roller coaster from beginning to end. Heath Ledger was spine-chilling as the Joker and Christian Bale as good as ever as Batman. Michael Caine was great, and Morgan Freeman was the same character as usual...

MY HUMBLE OPINION:
Fantastic movie, an improvement on Batman Begins if I've ever heard of one. That first movie was a disappointment for me, so this sequel really made me feel a lot better about the future for Batman. I could go on for hours about the acting brilliance in this movie, but I won't, because I want my dinner.
The Joker was very scary. I found myself wanting to look away each time he appeared, and the only reason I didn't was because I didn't want to miss any of Ledger's performance.
A family member disliked the movie. She thought that it was trying to get cheap laughs out of gruesome death scenes, which is, although the audience did laugh, not what I think the movie was trying to achieve. There were some moments with the Joker, yes, that would make some laugh and feel guilty about it afterwards. My Dad compared the humour in the movie to Jimmy Carr, in that sometimes you shouldn't laugh, but he's funny.
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD)





The inclusion of Two-Face was a surprise to me, and he was a very scary character, that fitted with the plot very well indeed, again, portrayed well by the actor.
The ending was very ambitious, but I liked it, it's just what Batman's all about- he's a hero by not being a hero- beautiful.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE:
I wouldn't take any child under eight to a 12A film. But if you're wondering about content, then here it is:
This film was 15 material, but the makers were clearly scared to rate it that because it would cause much controversy. The Joker is very scary and makes reference to domestic violence and self-harming. The violence is nothing too gory, but it is suggested to be hugely horrific- the thought of some of it frightened me. There is one use of strong language.

But, anyway, for now, that's all, folks. I hope to have the Awards results soon.

What the hell will I blog on now?: Suggestions welcome.

Good afternoon. Here in the UK, it has been chucking it down for some days. Last night, I went to see Jools Holland and couldn't see the stage for old fogeys with excessively large umbrellas! But anyway, I still need to review the series finale. And wasn't it a whopper!

4.12/4.13 THE STOLEN EARTH/JOURNEY'S END

******

RUNNING TIME: 110 mins approx. STARS: David Tennant, David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Billie Piper, Freema Ageyman, John Barrowman, Elizabeth Sladen, Julian Bleach, Noel Clarke, Camille Coduri, Penelope Wilton.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Yes, you are counting right- there are six stars. Sorry, but that beast of an episode warranted more than the "Maximum" five! It gave Donna an original, yet tear jerking farewell and all the other returning characters, pulled it off spectacularly (apart from Martha, whose acting was largely naff as usual).

MY HUMBLE OPINION:

If I could get away with it I'd just post "Wow" hundreds of times in this section, but I'm far more intelligent than that, aren't I, so I'll post something constructive. I cried twice in this story, something that I hardly ever do during an episode. I cried first at the end of "The Stolen Earth" when the Doctor and Rose were running towards each other, and for a second time when Donna had to be left with Wilf and Sylvia, in blissful ignorance of her adventures. Oh, and for the record, I'm not a fan of Sylvia Noble at all. She gets on my nerves even more than Francine Jones does. The Doc. needs to start choosing companions with better Mums.

Julian Bleach did a fantastic Davros. Russy kept the ranting, which was an excellent decision- you can't have Davros without the ranting! I also thought that giving Davros a mechanical hand was a good decision- that rubber brown one was spectacularly naff!

Reference was made to Genesis, something that doesn't happen very often in new Doctor Who. I always smile when they make reference to something old.

The Sarah Jane Adventures is now officially canon in my opinion as a crossover has occurred. And it's occurred in a big way- not just a fleeting reference to the Trickster like in Turn Left.

There was something not right when the other Doctor and Rose kissed, because he's not the Doctor. However hard you try, he's not the Doctor- it's like replacing me with another dude who's identical in every single way. It's not the same!

Overall, there's nothing more to say. I'd better start counting down the days until Christmas because what am I going to blog on now? Any suggestions send to lspcentral@gmail.com please!

So, see you soon, but for now- that's all, folks!
