Month: January 2013
The Impossible (review)

Doctor Who thing of the day: pizza delivery by TARDIS
Because 30 minutes or less simply isn’t fast enough…
War Witch (trailer)
One of only a very few Oscar nominees I haven’t yet seen…
question of the day: Is Arrested Development on Netflix the future of “television”?
The best modern television has become far more novelistic in recent years, and this makes the debut of a new show more like the debut of a novel, something that fans will digest at their own pace that is not being dictated by the show’s creators or by the network airing it.

question of the day: Who would be convinced to see a movie by a quote on an ad from a random guy on Twitter?
