Friday night fortune cookie: Forrest Gump says…
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
Month: April 2010
watch it: “Husky Dog Talking – ‘I love you’”
We had a cat-themed trailer today, so the Friday night cute is canine in nature:
April 30: DVD alternatives to this weekend’s multiplex offerings
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but if you don’t knock down that last bit of woods in your neighborhood and pave it over for a parking lot, it’ll never get done. But you can have a multiplex-like experience from the comfort of your own sofa with … more…
screencap Friday: what the flick? #121
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a DVD… and just to make things harder for 2010, this one is from a TV show which may or may not be in my collection (it’s sooo much easier to do screengrabs now that Netflix is streaming to my computer). Guess the TV show — you don’t … more…
When You’re Strange (review)
Apparently filmmaker Tom DiCillo (Living in Oblivion) has nothing to say in his wonderfully surrealistic look at the Doors that hasn’t been said before about the band and their difficult and bemused lead singer, Jim Morrison. Apparently, well-informed fans are being left cold by the film, even if they are momentarily intrigued by the never-before-seen … more…
trailer break: ‘African Cats’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The cute! It burns! Tiny little wild kitty baby bedraggled and shivery in the rain? I dyin’ here… African Cats opens in the U.S. and Canada on April 22, 2011; no U.K. release date has been announced.

Have you read any of Stephen King’s series The Dark Tower? No? Imagine if Clint Eastwood and James Joyce collaborated on a trippy fantasy about the mystical quest of a gunslinger. It’s weird and fascinating and has inspired a cultish following (and I really need to read more of the series [Amazon U.S.] [Amazon Canada] … more…
deep thought
This time next year, I will be Queen of the Internet.
watch it: AT&T 1993 “You Will” Ads
The 1993 date on these ads is a tad outside what I’d been thinking of as “retro” for Thursday’s retro TV ad web video of the day: I’d previously not featured anything newer than the 1980s. And that will continue to be the case here (for a while, at least). I’m making an exception for … more…
trailer break: ‘Furry Vengeance’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Remember those old ads that used to ask, “Is it live, or is is Memorex?” Movies like this one make me wonder, Is it satire, or just a calculated appropriation of the notion? Razing a forest to make way for a forest-themed mall is a good idea, … more…
