Stephanie Zacharek laid off by Movieline (and other adventures in social networking)
What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Doctor Who thing of the day: Darth Vader versus the Doctor
Guess who wins?
Wreck-It Ralph (trailer)
Oh, it’s like The Purple Rose of Cairo, except it’s a video game the guy steps out of. Neat.
question of the day: How would you adapt this now-offensive pulp novel to make it work for today’s audiences?
Seems to me like this jaw-dropping concept could be used as the beginning a pulp-style film today…
London photo of the day: Chinatown grudgingly acknowledges the Jubilee
Chinatown is all like, “Yeah, we like the Jubilee and all, but we’re still socialistically distributing the love equally to China, too.”
Doctor Who thing of the day: 1967 Wall’s ice cream commercial with Daleks!
I dunno about you, but when I think about the Doctor, I think about lickability.
Paul Williams: Still Alive (trailer)
It’s probably really hard for anyone under 30 to understand this, but in the 1970s, Paul Willams was cool.
question of the day: What great thinkers — writers, philosophers, scientists — whom Hollywood generally ignores should inspire more films?
Ray Bradbury, who died yesterday at age 91, inspired, both directly and indirectly, generations of filmmakers. Stephen Hawking’s ideas inform both Battleship and Prometheus this summer. What other thinkers should storytellers be looking to for inspiration?
London photo of the day: multicultural England
Muslims for Peace like the Queen.
