Geez, step away from the computer for five minutes (or five hours)… So I clicked over to the IMDB to check out some stuff and I see the headline: Actor Ricardo Montalban Dies at 88 And then the other headline: Patrick McGoohan Dead At 80 And I’m all, Oh, crap. I’m a geek. And I’m … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… A little late today, but hey, it’s still time to take a break from work on the West Coast… Ooo, a pastiche of 1950s science fiction! Excellent! And tricky, too. It has to have just the right tone to work. If it’s not bad enough — … more…
Like oh my god. Did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow has a weekly newsletter about how to “nourish the inner aspect”? It’s totally awesome… and so totally not — as some dweeb at the L.A. Times who probably isn’t even a real blonde like Gwyneth said — about “inner superficiality.” (She’s just jealous.) It’s called … more…
He’s saved the Empire who knows how many times, but what kind of collateral damage has he left in his wake? James Bond: ethical patriot or international man of menace? Discuss. I think it’s kind of sweet, all that saving of the Empire, considering that the Empire went the way of the Model-T, but I’m … more…
Another new feature I thought you might like. I receive more DVDs in the mail than I can possibly ever review, but this way I can at least let know about some new things that are out there that you might be interested in. This are all Region 1, though I’ll note if they’re available … more…
How does an exit interview with a porcupine go, do you think? There’s the factor here, with this video, of a PSA being posted online, with the explicit hope that it will go viral and help the cause. That’s worth noting, and we’re sure to see even more of this in the future. And then … more…
The pace of commenting has picked up here so much lately that new comments are often scrolling out of that “recent comments” box on the main page in less than a day. I don’t want to make the box any bigger than it is, so instead I created a new page — right here and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Just an FYI, in case you weren’t already aware, Duran Duran not does appear in this movie. Not even sampled. Notorious opens wide in the U.S. on January 16 and in the U.K. on February 13.
A lot of news is coming out of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show about the convergence of the Internet and TV. I so totally called it. But you’d have to be an imbecile who’s been living underground on a deserted island in the middle of the South Pacific not to know this was coming. Then … more…
Out January 12 in Region 2: • Pineapple Express [buy at Amazon U.K.]. From my red light review: I think it’s supposed to be funny, the idea of violent pot dealers, of warring gangs of weed pushers, but it probably helps to actually be stoned while watching this to appreciate that. In fact, I wonder … more…
