because Roger Ebert is not his own webmaster…
…but I have to be.
Year: 2010
question of the day: Would you pay $30 for an on-demand rental of a new theatrical film release?
I’ve been predicting this for years, and I think it’s entirely inevitable, outside of a collapse of civilization that puts the kibosh on such luxuries as electricity and telecommunications.
watch it: “Quite Interesting Crop Circle and ‘The Other Side’”
Via PZ Myers — one of my heroes — at Pharyngula, who says, ‘Skeptics can be so cruel.’
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: kid video-blogs about ‘Doctor Who,’ gets invited to the set

what she said: Ragen Chastain at the blog Dances with Fat…
…on Jennifer Hudson’s Weight Watchers ad, in which Hudson states that before she lost weight, her “whole world was can’t”…
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘She-Ra: 25th Anniversary Edition’
I’m trying to remember: What is the appropriate gift for the 25th anniversary of your cheesy children’s cartoon fantasy adventure series? Is this the flaming-sword anniversary? Or is it the magical-tiara one?
trailer break: ‘Freakonomics’
I’m into this sort of stuff — thinking outside the box, looking for the fundamental interconnectedness of all things — but I wonder if freakonomics is merely finding coincidences and calling them connections.
question of the day: Who is the greatest British filmmaker working today?
It’s the obvious followup to Friday’s QOTD — about great American filmmakers — and corollary to the Guardian’s new list of most powerful people in British film…
watch it: “I Don’t Understand Job by Garfunkel and Oates”
Who says women don’t think about sex?
wtf: the ‘Guardian’s list of 100 powerful people in British film has few Brits on it
I’m not blaming the Guardian for this. I’m blaming Hollywood’s overwhelming dominance.
