the oh-yes! DVD of the week: ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (With Dobby Bookend)’
Now you can bring home the cringing subservient terror of a tortured house elf and make it your very own!
Month: April 2011
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘The Fantastic World: Molly Pickens and the Rainy Day Castle: Unlock the Mysteries of Jesus’
There are many reasons to oh-no on this DVD, and they begin with the hideous design of the cover art, which is hideously glorious…
watch it: “Double Standard”
Explores the double standard that exists between how the words and actions of atheists and Christians are variously interpreted…
trailer break: ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’ (warning: unrated and brutal)
Best title ever? Or worst title ever? Could it be both, simultaneously?
question of the day: Is ‘American Idol’ sexist and racist?
Or is the rap unfair for reasons that I can’t appreciate because I don’t watch the show? If it is indeed racist and sexist, how could the show overcome that and still be popular with a nation for whom sexism and racism is seemingly entrenched?
Your Highness (review)
It’s one thing to say that Hollywood scoops up indie filmmakers, chews them up, and spits out McG and Brett Ratner clones, which absolutely happens. But that’s on a whole ’nother level to what it has done to David Gordon Green. Someone took the most glorious bottle of vintage champagne and whipped up Tang mimosas.
royal wedding hype; ‘Hanna’s Joe Wright says ‘Sucker Punch’ is sexist; dear god no, there’s gonna be another ‘Tron’ flick; more: leftover links
Plus: Should Hollywood stop pandering to dorks? Does the flopping of Mars Needs Moms spell the end of 3D? Why is Katie Holmes failing to charm America?
Saturday cute: Dagobah swamp cake
Mmmm, boggy…
so I didn’t need to move to London at all? (yes, I really did)
A lot of the things I’m doing here in London to get my life out of the rut it was in were things I could have done in New York. So why didn’t I?
question of the weekend: What does being a grownup mean to you?
Being a grownup means you can wear your pajamas all day if you want to, and nobody can stop you. A 9-year-old of my acquaintance is jealous of me because of this.
