We’ve heard tough talk like this from Obama before, and every time — every time — he ends up backtracking and backing down and saying he never said what he said. Guantanamo Bay was gonna be closed. The public option was a necessity. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was gonna end. As with everything else, I … more…
Air travel to and from Europe has been disrupted — it’s been all but nonexistent, in fact — for days now because of the danger posed by the ash cloud being spewed out of the erupting Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. Each day, news reports have been saying things like: Forecasts suggest the cloud of ash … more…

We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but all that street crime isn’t gonna fight itself, and you’ve got to pick up your cape and mask from the dry cleaners, too. But you can have a multiplex-like experience from the comfort of your own sofa with a collection … more…

Maybe they were waiting till the technology advanced enough so that we could get realistic CGI dogs barfing in 3D. Or perhaps this film has been sitting on a shelf since 2002. That might … more…
So I watched the debut of Matt Smith as our favorite Time Lord in the reboot of the reboot of Doctor Who for something like the fourth or fifth time at the BBC America premiere event on Wednesday, and of course I noticed a few new things. And not just because it was blown up … more…
BBC News Magazine this week ran a thoughtful, if mystified essay on the popularity of those YouTube Hitler rants (perhaps to coincide with this month’s 65th anniversary of Hitler’s death and the end of the Nazi regime). You know the ones: they borrow a scene from the amazing but serious-as-a-heart-attack German film Downfall, about Hitler’s … more…
