There’s something to be said for a movie that’s still making you laugh days after you saw it. It’s probably better if that movie was a comedy, but you can’t dismiss the entertainment value you get out of a good bad horror movie that prompts snorts of derision and head shakes of mystified wonderment at random moments a week later.
Another new feature, and one you can expect every day Monday through Friday. News stories I missed? Stuff you’d like me to cover? Questions you have for me? Something movie-, TV-, DVD-, or pop culture-related you want to talk about? This is where to do it.

The actual numbers for the overall British box office (which, as an aside, also includes the Republic of Ireland) are far less readily … more…
Here’s a new daily feature, just a little something to jumpstart conversation. Today: If you had to choose between never watching movies again or never watching TV again, which would you choose? I don’t mean for option 2 to mean no TV ever: I mean no dramatic or comedic fictional stories on TV, so you … more…
The third of my four preview/speculations about the final ten episodes of Battlestar Galactica is up now at Film.com. Please comment over there, if you would (and if you can get past the registration problems the site still seems to be having). So few postings at Film.com seem to generate much conversation in comments, and … more…
