I just discovered, totally by accident, that my cable company is now carrying the Sci Fi Channel in HD. Might have been nice if they’d, I dunno, actually informed me about this exciting programming addition. I wonder how long it’s been available… I wonder what other channels I don’t know I have…
Yesterday I posted a piece on Samuel L. Jackson discussing Lakeview Terrace, which opened in the U.K. yesterday, and arrives on DVD in the U.S. on January 27, 2009. (My review is here.) It’s the story of a black cop, played by Samuel L. Jackson, who menaces and harrasses his new neighbors, a mixed-race couple … more…
Look at the curtain open behind Obama. It looks like he actually shot this before dawn this morning, so either he was up all night working, or up superearly to get back to work.

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Meryl Streep as a scary nun? Awesome. Amy Adams as a sweet nun? Perfect. Viola Davis in anything? Yes, please. And, oh yeah, that Philip Seymour Hoffman guy is here too — I hear he’s not bad… Doubt opens limited in the U.S. on December 12, … more…
The most depressing thing ever: Seth MacFarlane’s fame. Why do people think he’s funny? Could the substance of this be more obvious and predictable?
