screencap Friday: what the flick? #117
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…
get your Easter candy sugar rush early
And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the announcement of the winners of the fourth annual Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest. It’s not this one, riffing on Mad Men: Nor is it Alfred Hitchcock’s The Peeps: You’ll just have to click through to find out which entry won. (It is movie-related, as well … more…
finally! someone apologizes for ‘Battlefield Earth’!
J.D. Shapiro, one of the screenwriters of Battlefield Earth, has apologized for his crime: he was only looking to get laid. It wasn’t as I intended — promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn’t really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to … more…
trailer break: ‘Date Night’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh. My. God. It’s like someone made a CGI action comedy about, I dunno, squirrels who think they’re secret agents, and then digitally removed the squirrels and replaced them with live actors. It’s like the opposite of motion capture to create a cartoon. I would like to … more…
question of the day: Is the “controversy” over ‘Kick-Ass’ worth getting bothered about?

watch it: 1980s York Peppermint Patty commercial
Who knew merely eating candy could feel so much like an adventure?

Clash of the Titans (review)
Those whom the gods wish to punish, they force to watch this movie.
Perseus and Mike Nelson, separated at birth?
I’m working on my review of Clash of the Titans right now, and I will post it shortly, but in the meantime, I must share with you one of the many strange and uncomfortable thoughts that went through my head as the movie unspooled. I couldn’t stop being struck by how much Sam Worthington’s Perseus … more…
