London photo of the day: umbrellas recovered
I’m always leaving umbrellas in restaurants and such. Would love to engage an umbrella-recovery specialist to find them for me.
Year: 2011
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: What does the Doctor’s bedroom look like? (a contest at SFX, and a fantasy in your head)
Oh, you know you’ve wondered about it. Maybe you’ve even written fan fiction about it…
Red Tails (trailer)
Aw, crap. This is gonna be some tearjerking cornball shit from George Lucas (who cowrote the script), isn’t it?
question of the day: Which era would you like to see as a setting for a nostalgic soap opera or drama (à la ‘Mad Men’)?
NBC has The Playboy Club, ABC has Pan Am, both set in the 60s. The BBC is a tad more adventurous: its The Hour is set in 1956. Couldn’t we look farther afield, temporally speaking?
watch it: “Apple Ad – Drunk Jeff Goldblum”
Turns out that if you slow Jeff Goldblum down to half speed, he sounds amusingly inebriated.
London photo of the day: Bronx shoes
Bronx brand shoes in a shop on Brick Lane.
the universe hates me
Perhaps I should have gone back to NYC today, though. Perhaps London wanted me to leave. The universe couldn’t have picked a better way to sucker punch me…
Attack the Block (review)
Take that, Spielberg, with your suburban alien invasions and your gentle parables about acceptance and stuff. Why don’t the aliens ever land in the ’hood, where no one will take their shit sitting down?
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Time Lord and companions as cats
This is just plain weird…
watch it: “Mac vs PC (1984 vs. 2007)”
Damn. Do PCs really take this long to boot up?
