A couple of weeks ago I finally saw The Fountain. It’s written and directed by Darren Aranofsky, who did Requiem for a Dream and Pi (two films on my very long “still to watch” list) and stars Hugh Jackman (X-Men, The Prestige) and Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener, The Mummy).

So here I am again. I know I haven’t written for a long, long time (again), but this time I’m seriously going to try and better my ways. After watching last week’s slightly disappointing season finale of Doctor Who, I’m glad they’ve announced a couple of tidbits about next season.

Kylie Minogue will be starring in the 2007 Christmas Special, which will have something to do with the Titanic. As the last episode’s ending suggests, we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg ;-).

The more surprising news is that Freema Agyeman’s Martha Jones will only be joining the Doctor halfway through the season and that the Doctor’s new companion is none other then Catherine Tate, reprising the role of runaway bride Donna from last year’s Christmas episode. I’m curious to see how this turns out. I loved the banter between the Doctor and Donna, but I wonder if it can sustain an actual season.
