‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Dalek Christmas tree
What is it about Christmas and Daleks? Is there some Yuletide connection with Skaro that I’ve missed all these years? What on Earth — or beyond — would inspire this?
Year: 2010
Little Fockers (review)
It mystifies me as I try to fathom just what the hell an actor with the stature of Robert DeNiro is doing in a movie that finds the height of its humor in a child’s projectile vomiting and four-hour boners.
trailer break: ‘Trollhunter’
Nice to see a story about a fantasy mythology that isn’t drawing on the Anglo-Saxon well that is running dry…
question of the day: What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen?
I’m talking real, down-to-earth, honest-to-awfulness, worst movie you’ve ever seen. Not the movie that’s so bad it’s great. Not a guilty pleasure you acknowledge is terrible but you have a sneaking fondness for anyway. Nope: I want you to dredge up the most excruciating memory of a movie-watching experience you can manage without blowing out a cranial artery.
watch it: “Rudolph (You Don’t Have To Put On The Red Light)”
People are demented.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: “I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas with a Dalek”
Because who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas with a Dalek? They’re so cuddly. I know I always think of mistletoe and eggnog and Christmas crackers when I hear that friendly cry of “Exterminate! Exterminate!”
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Stonehenge Apocalypse’
If you were derelict enough in your cheesy-movie duties to have missed this masterpiece of awful when it aired on Syfy in June, now you have you chance to rectify this deplorable oversight.
trailer break: ‘Thor’
Oh, dear. This is going to be very silly, isn’t it?
question of the day: Is it better to be pirated than to be forgotten?
Fan “pirates” out-of-print comic, and creator heartily approves. Can Hollywood learn a lesson from this?
deep thought (re ‘Country Strong’)
It’s a bit suspicious that New York is not one of the ”select cities” Country Strong is opening in on Wednesday. Don’t they want the New York critics to see it? Maybe they’re afraid we don’t get country music…
