10 Ways To Spot A Time Traveller

1. They Don€™t Know How To Dress

For some reason, the future is filled with people who either a) buy clothes in sex shops or b) fetch clothes from the trash. Time travelers often seem aware of this tragic fashion faux pas, and regularly opt to hop trough time in their birthday suit €“ you know, to avoid embarrassment. Or in the most unfortunate of circumstances, come in their outlandish future get-up. The tragic off set of this is that because future fashion is so, frankly, crap, it means that time travellers have literally no idea how to dress themselves in the modern day/past/future. Time travel is normally a result of emergency causes or accidental breakthroughs, so leapers are generally not in much of a mood to go window-shopping. The resulting look is something between Hobo-couture and Costume clown. A valuable lesson to be learnt from this is always travel through time with a mirror and a good pair of shoes. No matter who you are, you can travel thousands of years into the past and still not be able to find some suitable footwear. Most likely to say: €œI need some clothes.€ CASE STUDIES: 12 Monkeys, Austin Powers

Part critic-part film maker, I have been living and breathing film ever since seeing 'Superman' at the tender age of five. Never one to mince my words, I believe in the honest and emotional reaction to film, rather than being arty or self important just for cred. Despite this, you will always hear me say the same thing - "its all opinion, so watch it and make your own." Follow me @iamBradWilliams
