‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: the lost Craig Ferguson ‘Doctor Who’ dance opener
When the video of the rehearsal for this supposedly awesome opening number did not immediately show up on YouTube, I figured the whole thing was a big joke, that there never was a musical number and this was just Ferguson being his usual weird and unpredictable self. But now the video has shown up online…
trailer break: ‘How Do You Know’
I had no intentions of hating this movie — the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind — until I saw the description of it at the IMDB…
question of the day: Do you think DVD region coding will ever go away?
If you’re in the U.S., for instance, and you buy a DVD in Australia — or have a friend lend you one by mail — and it won’t play in the DVD player you bought in Best Buy in Dallas.

The Nutcracker in 3D (review)

If you think that’s a horrendously mixed metaphor, it’s got nothing on this polar-express train wreck…
trailer break: ‘True Grit’
Woo-hoo! A new movie from the Coen Brothers is always reason to celebrate.
question of the day: How soon will physical DVDs disappear from general usage?
We’ll always watch movies, I suspect — at least until whatever apocalypse we’re in for hits and the electricity goes out — but I don’t think we’ll actually be watching them on plastic DVDs for very much longer. I’m beginning to see a time for myself in the very near future when I may never have to buy another DVD…
