My clock radio woke me up this morning with the deejays talking to a guy on the phone who witnessed the plane crash — or maybe we need to call it the plane landing, so nonviolent and walk-away-able it appears to have been — in the Hudson River yesterday afternoon. This guy was the first … more…
It’s Friday, and Friday makes me think of one thing: Chinese takeout, a bottle of wine, and Sci Fi Friday with my friend Bonnie-Ann Black (“bronxbee” in comments here, and minder of her own art blog Dubhsidhe Studios). I’m not such a geek that that’s set in stone, and on any given Friday night I … more…
It’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week, in honor of Ricardo Montalban, who just passed away: Fantasy Island, the 1977-84 ABC series about dreams coming true. (If you have a suggestion for an 80s TV show or movie we should play with, … more…
Not only informative about stuff I’ve wondered about (and maybe you have too) but from a technical standpoint, it’s beautifully interactive in a way I haven’t seen before. (Well, see here for the truly interactive version.) (via GirlieGirlArmy.com, where they feign to be fashion-obsessed divas, but really are philanthropic, eco, treehuggin’ intellectuals)
It’s almost over. Ten more episodes to go, and we’re gone. We’ll know who the final Cylon is, we’ll know (maybe) what happened to Earth, and we’ll know (hopefully) where the human race goes from here. My last preview is up now over at Film.com. Please check it out and comment if you like (and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh the product placement you’ll go! Girls are so cute with their cute shoes and their cute bags and total lack of financial acumen and their lying on their resumes! Aren’t they? Seriously, what man wouldn’t want to just snap us up? And they will! So … more…
I had a little email exchange this week with a representative of the UK Film Council, who explained to me why the U.K. box office numbers aren’t made public till midweek (as I discussed last week). Turns out it’s a matter of paying customers getting first crack at the numbers on Monday. I am not, … more…
It’s 17 degress and snowing in the Bronx right now — but it could be worse: Bismarck hit 44 below this morning. It’s even down into the 40s (above zero, that is) in Florida and Southern California. The first person who says, “So what happened to global warming?” gets to wear the Dunce Cap of … more…
Hard to believe this didn’t happen sooner: cell phone cameras capture the shooting by police officer Johannes Mehserle of unarmed Oscar Grant on a BART transit platform in Oakland, California, early New Year’s morning: Hard to believe we haven’t seen video evidence of an event like this before, that is, not that events like this … more…
Another shocking lack of new Pushing Daisies. Hel-loooo? ABC? Are you out there? Are you ever going to put us out of our misery and give us the final three episodes? Bastards.
