watch it: “octopus steals my video camera and swims off with it (while it’s Recording)”
In case you haven’t already seen this… Everybody — even octopuses — love shiny objects. (Thanks to bronxbee for being the first to send me this.)
Oceans (review)
The overall affect is most like that of a screensaver…
many changes going on here…
…mostly behind the scenes for the moment, as I think about reinventing myself and this site for the criticism-is-dead era. One of the things to happen immediately: I’m dropping the “my week at the movies” posts. They never really garnered much interest, as far as I can determine. I suspect that some readers may be … more…
trailer break: ‘Takers’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen in the same movie? Is that even legal? Shouldn’t audiences be protected from that kind of thing?

You’ve already made the DVD and blu-ray the biggest selling release ever. … more…
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “The Time of Angels”
