screencap Friday: what the flick? #86
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.
August 28: DVD alternatives to this weekend’s multiplex offerings
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you’re still hung over from celebrating the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.

trailer break: ‘Halloween II’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Pressing questions: • Has anyone ever bothered to explain why it is that Michael just won’t die? How did he get to be some sort of immortal superman? Or does it not even matter? Do we not want even a modicum of rationality to get in the … more…

trailer break: ‘Youth Knows No Pain’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Man, these people are sad! An expiration date as a woman? Jesus. Maybe an expiration date as a shallow person obsessed with surface appearances? Or maybe not, if you apply enough plastic surgery. Then you get an expiration date as a realistic-looking human people, right? Maybe someday … more…
question of the day: If it’s not Megan Fox as Catwoman, then who?
Newsflash: Megan Fox is the new Catwoman! Newsflash: No, she isn’t! The idea of Fox as the new Catwoman might be no more than wishful fanboy thinking, though Hecklerspray offered the most bizarre — and anti-fanboyish — reason why it couldn’t possibly be Fox in the role: Except, well, don’t get your hopes up.
