Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
Sometimes advertising can be art. This British TV ad comes close: Also, I’m feeling kinda depressed today, and the thought of chocolate makes me feel a little better. (via Very Short List)
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… No, it’s not Hugh Laurie’s irascible medical detective, it’s another horror movie not screened for critics.

While we wait here in the U.S. for the new James Bond flick, it’s cutting a wide swath through the British box office: 1. Quantum of Solace: £15.4 million (NEW) 2. High School Musical 3: Senior Year: £2.7 million (2nd week; drops 67%) 3. Saw V: £.95 million (2nd week; drops 61%) 4. Ghost Town: … more…
