About James Willetts

James left Cardiff to go back home to Birmingham. He likes comic books, movies and comic book movies. He got into Doctor Who with the relaunch and is still painfully ignorant of any incarnation before 9. His favourite film is Jurassic Park and his favourite X-Man is Colossus. His Grand Unified Theory of Die Hard proved that Die Hard With A Vengeance was actually rubbish. In his spare time he paints pictures of Godzilla. Jonathan Ross follows him on Twitter.
