I’m traveling home from London all day today. Look for things to get back to normal round these parts next week. Same commenting rules as always apply: Be smart, be kind, be passionate. Assume the best about other posters rather than the worst. Disagreements are fine as long as we act civilly about them. Imagine … more…
…was intimate but lots of fun. FlickFilosopher readers and commenters Les Carr and Proper Dave joined me and my friend Bonnie at The North Star for drinking, eating, and an embarrassing amount of talk about Doctor Who. That’s me, Dave, and Les. I’ll try to organize a New York City meetup this spring, and another … more…
It’ll be big and round. You know, like a transmitter… Sneaky aliens, cleverly hiding their evil taking-over-the-world equipment so well. Where could it be?
An ad for an exhibit of movie sets, near the London Eye: Promoting the tube as a place to shoot movies, featuring lines of dialogue from a movie, and the location in the tube where it was shot: (Great campaign. Wish I’d seen more of these.) Not a movie, but a planetarium show. The important … more…
So none of the tweets I sent to Twitter yesterday from my Orange mobile phone got posted. I don’t know whether this is a Twitter issue or an Orange issue, but the text messages did get sent. Somewhere between my phone and Twitter, they disappeared. Of course, I have not been saving sent messages, so … more…

Movie posters spotted around London these last ten days. Some are exactly the same as those in New York; some are very different. I love seeing how movies are sold in different ways in different places. The U.K. Bride Wars poster is way worse than the U.S. one: The tagline is: “Before the rings go … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Did Lucas ruin our childhoods with the prequel trilogy? Is Jar Jar Binks the antichrist? Does any sane person believe Greedo shot first? These questions and others will be explored in this fans-talk-back documentary about George “Insert Expletive of Your Choice Here” Lucas. Producer Vanessa Philippe, in … more…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
Still in London, so you get another British cat today: You can tell the cat is British, cuz it and its person are sitting on the left side of the car and there’s no steering wheel there. I guess they could be in Hong Kong, but why would YouTube lie to us like that?
