Atari classic Missile Command comes to the big screen!

News just in on the 80's grapevine that our friends at Atari have teamed up with 20th Century Fox to turn its classic 80's arcade game Missile Command into a feature film.

Missile Command - as it used to be....

If you're not familiar with the cold war arcade classic, it involved protecting a series of vulnerable bases from falling nuclear warheads and apparently Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, the screenwriters behind the upcoming Flash Gordon remake, have been hired to pen the script.

Have to say - when I think back to the hours spent playing Missile Command back in the day, I don't ever remember thinking this would make a great movie someday but hey, at least there will be plenty of explosions to get our teeth into.

Two more of the company's games, Asteroids and Rollercoaster Tycoon, have also recently been optioned for the big screen which does make you wonder, is Hollywood starting to run out of fresh ideas and if so, is using arcade games with pretty non-existent plot lines as your starting point really the way to go?

Absolutely fabulous!

We were so excited when we spotted our stunning Alice in Wonderland 'Drink Me' necklace in the News of the World's Fabulous magazine this weekend! It was depicted in all its twinkling wonder in a beautiful shot, embedded in a silver glitter shoreline. Gosh, wouldn't it be lovely if this washed up at your toes! This is a true Disney Couture classic and a must have for any Alice in Wonderland collector. We only have limited stocks though, so better dive in quick before they drift away! xoxo

Swedish Vicar in Dodgy T-Shirt Probe…

We had a little chuckle at this - a Stockholm pastor is being probed by the Church for wearing a dodgy men's t shirt.

Apparently, colleagues saw a photo on his facebook profile of the naughty minister wearing a tee with a print of a well known Swedish porn film, and are currently working out what action to take. The photo was taken while he was supervising a children's trip to France.

Maybe he could have sparked less of an outrage by wearing something slightly less risky - he could have even praised the Lord himself with this amazing Jesus T Shirt from Chunk!
