Sometime in the past week, thecraggus.com (formerly What The Craggus Saw) passed a significant milestone – one million words of content.
At the time of writing, it’s actually 1,004,144 words – oh no, wait now it’s 1,004,172 and, well, you get the drift.
Whether you’ve read one review, or every single one of those million words – or even just the 70 or so words of this very post, I just wanted to take a moment to mark the occasion and say:
I appreciate it.
Star Trek
Opening with a cute moment as the crew of the Cerritos find themselves on Beta III from the original STAR TREK episode RETURN OF THE ARCHONS explaining to the populace once again not to blindly follow the instructions of the megalomaniacal computer Landru. It's a wonderful touch that...
Movie
Gordon Gekko lied to us. Greed is not good. Michael Winterbottom’s unfortunately unfocussed polemic takes a swipe at the lifestyles of the rich and the shameless, or maybe at the grotesque exploitation underpinning the ‘fast fashion’ industry or perhaps at the financial chicanery that...
Movie

James Bond

Movie
Destiny isn't the only thing which weighs heavily on Bill And Ted Face The Music One of the main things I was curious about when “Bill And Ted Face The Music” was announced was how they’d carve out room for another adventure having apparently resolved the Wyld Stallyn’s ascent to...
Horror
Hugh Jackman is a steampunk James Bond, hunting public domain bad guys for the Vatican in muddled and messy action horror Van Helsing Universal have been trying to resurrect their Dark Universe for a lot longer than you may think. Back in 2004, emboldened by the quick one-two hits of...
Movie
Raising an orange mocha frappuccino to a stone-cold classic! Friday Night Family Movie Night this week takes in a turn-of-the-millennium comedy classic. It takes a certain kind of genius to craft a film that’s simultaneously as vacuous and as razor-sharp as Zoolander. It’s a film that...
Star Trek
Star Trek Picard uses Broken Pieces to put things back together again. *SPOILERS* A great many things become clear as “Star Trek: Picard” manoeuvres its characters and pieces for its first season endgame. Ironically, the episode called “Broken Pieces” is the one which starts to show...
Congrats on the milestone, Craggus!
Congrats!
