Oh, I hope this isn’t true (via Digital Spy): Matt Smith reportedly plans to quit Doctor Who next year.

U.S. AND CANADA/OPENING WIDE Inception: Leonardo DiCaprio will blow your mind… much as other thieves blow vaults. If you can’t make it to the multiplex, try: • Memento (2000): Christopher Nolan plays with the depths of the human mind and the limits to which narrative time can be stretched in both films. • Catch Me … more…
Screenrush.co.uk is screaming: EXCLUSIVE: Sylvester McCoy Rumoured For The Hobbit (Sylvester McCoy was, of course the last actor to play the Doctor in Doctor Who in the classic iteration of the series.)

But I’ve been noticing a particular tenor in the predictions of how audiences may react that I find … more…
I’ve had reports from one reader that something new here in the last few days is causing his Internet Explorer browser to crash intermittently. It’s possible that it could be a new ad in the rotation. Or something else that I simply can’t figure out. (Or possibly something unique to that one user’s browser situation.) … more…
