Dave & Judy Armstrong: medieval wedding at a Protestant church: 6 October 1984 Our 25th wedding came around on October 6th. A few days later we were privileged to be able to stay at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island (in the straits between the Lower and Upper Peninsulas of Michigan).

TWILIGHT: NEW MOON is expected to open to $100 million this weekend, and I refuse to believe that anyone who pays to see this non-movie will enjoy it as anything other than a shameless melange of pasty skin, chiseled abs and tween-emo longing. It's garbage. And while I'm aware there are people who mistake the torpidity of these films for tragic depth, it's my hope that many of them will soon be exposed...

I was 100% unfamiliar with this. It set around for a few days. And I stared at it, wondering what the hell it was. It came out back in 1988, when I was a Junior in High School. But I never saw it. I put it in, and in the first episode, DESTROY THE DEFENDROIDS – about the time Lois and Supes are flying hand in hand as hints of CAN YOU READ MY MIND play… I was a bit stunned. Marv Wolfman...

The benefits of positive thinking have been overrated. There are two basic attitudes to adversity, exemplified by Nietzsche and Christopher Reeve. When the Superman actor was left paralysed from the neck down, he refused to despair. "Once you choose hope," he insisted, "anything's possible." He died nine years later, still a quadriplegic. The philosopher, a syphilitic and part-time...
