Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… So Kate from Lost is the newspaper reporter who outed Valerie Plame? And now Hawkeye Pierce is defending her? Interesting… But how is Dr. John Carter involved? And legendary Western lawman Matt Dillon — what’s his connection? I’m so confused. Nothing But the Truth opens limited … more…
(previous: Episode 7: “Robbing Hood”) Do you smell pie? I smell pie. Mmmmm, pie… [spoilers after the jump!] I am now as sad as Ned has been since childhood as I face the prospect of the end of this show. It’s a bright spot in my TV week, which is otherwise pretty grim and pretty … more…

Dark-and-Weird-and-Creepy-and-Disturbing Week continues: Ah, the futility of life, the emptiness of our rituals, and the paralysis that comes with the yanking away of them. Jesus, I’m depressed.
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh, fantastic: creatures with corpselike plasticine faces, imagery stolen directly from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, thunderous belching, and injuries to alien crotches*. What more do you need from a movie? (*Because, despite James T. Kirk’s discoveries to the contrary, everyone throughout the universe keeps their … more…
