The Master (trailer)
Disappointed to learn that this is not a film about the renegade Time Lord who has been hounding the Doctor for centuries.
Month: June 2012
question of the day: Could there ever be a detective film noir with a female lead and a homme fatale?
We see hardbitten woman detectives on TV a lot these days (though not so much in movies yet); it’s the homme fatale bit that’s harder to see working in a serious way…

question of the weekend: Has your handwriting gotten worse over the years?
If so, does it even matter if there’s no need to write much by hand? Should we worry, as a culture, about all of us losing a valuable skill? Or is it no different from how nobody today knows how to use a button hook?
London photo of the day: when bus drivers strike!
Nomally this display at the bus stop tells you when the next buses are due to arrive. Today, bus drivers were on strike over extra pay during the Olympics…

The Five-Year Engagement (review)
There simply never seems to be any reason why lovebirds Tom and Violet can’t just get married already. Unless the film is delivering an object lesson to uppity career ladies…
Doctor Who thing of the day: Dalek-free workplace
I bet the Doctor works here. He just can’t seem to shake those metal buggers.
The Invisible War (trailer)
Rape as a weapon of war is a war crime to be denounced and prosecuted whenever possible. Unless, of course, it’s members of the U.S. military raping their fellow soldiers. Then it’s totally cool, apparently.
question of the day: Does it matter if “reality TV” is fake?
Does actual authenticity matter more with some reality shows, such as House Hunters, which was recently outed as fake, than others, like Jersey Shore?
