bonus trailer break! ‘Doctor Who’ BBC America trailer
In case the new BBC trailer earlier didn’t satisfy: Because too much Doctor Who is never enough. “All of time and space. Everything that ever happened, and everything that ever will. Where do you wanna start?” There’s more of a taste of Amy Pond here, and that’s definitely River Song’s voice at one point… Doctor … more…
trailer break: ‘Doctor Who’ Series 5 trailer 3
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! Hey. Hey. I’ve been dreaming of time and space since I was a kid, too. Where’s my trip in the TARDIS? Huh? HUH?!

question of the day: What untold stories about women deserve to be made as a movie?
My Week in Women column this week features a video in which 82 female filmmakers discuss what kind of film they’d make with an unlimited budget.

I’m asking regular readers to forward to their friends their favorite FlickFilosopher.com post from the past week. These are some of my own favorites, if I may make … more…
Kirstie Alley’s Scientology diet; the Tinseltown closet; Tina Fey, sex goddess: leftover links
Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But … more…
watch it: the 3/20/10 weekly address from President Barack Obama
Is this new bill called the Torches and Pitchforks Act of 2010? The Directive for the Prevention of the Revolt of the Peasants? Cuz there’d better finally be some major blood — of a figurative sort, of course — and fines that look like the GDP of small African nations. Or I call for tarring … more…
