We all know how it is. You’d like to get out to see a new movie this weekend, but you dread heading to the multplex in case it’s clogged with people in Spock ears and Klingon foreheads, and anyway, Mom won’t want to beam up to the Enterprise for Mother’s Day. But you can have … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… As long as Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson are back, I’m there. Oh, they are back? Excellent. Ooo, and Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart? Cool. Hank Azaria as an Egyptian pharaoh? Nice. In fact, let’s keep all the neat-o museum people played by hilarious and charismatic actors … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ah, I see that no nods will be given to the earnestness of the original show. This makes me sad: This show warped my tiny brain as a child with its talk of time warps and intelligent dinosaurs and such, and it would have been nice to … more…
J.J. Abrams is telling diehard Trekkies to avoid his new Star Trek reboot: “Don’t see the movie,” he has said. “You’ll just get angry. It is not Shatner playing Kirk, so I do apologize.” (I think he’s wrong about how serious fans will react, but I’ll get to that in my review, which I’ll post … more…
This is one of the most fascinating aspects of YouTube to me: Ordinary people are creating their own shows. This guy, a young Canadian man who calls himself FLuffee, has posted 153 videos on his channel, FLuffeeTalks, and is selling FLuffeeTalks merchandise. He’s got almost 97,000 subscribers and his channel has gotten more than 1.7 … more…
