more ‘Doctor Who’ dorkiness
That is to say, I’ve just posted the next installment in my Doctor Who fan fiction saga at my portfolio blog.
trailer break: ‘Proud American’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Please remove your hats and stand for this trailer: Did you count them? Not one, not two, not three, not four: Five. Five stories ripped from the Hallmark Channel by way of the 700 Club. In IMAX. With the stars-and-stripes waving behind them. And Toby Keith … more…
Jesus loves sexy, violent movies
Could there be hope for our culture after all? The CAP Movie Ministry is having to all but shut down because no one wants to send it money. You know the CAP Alert guy: he’s the one dude in Texas — Jesus moved him there! I’m totally getting Jesus to help me move next time! … more…
watch it: “Kid Rock Warrior Video”
This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen, and yet, it shocks me not: It’s like one of those bits of propaganda in Starship Troopers, which — like much of our satire — is looking less like satire every day. I’m not sure which is more appalling: the likening of NASCAR drivers … more…
my week at the movies: ‘Choke,’ ‘Igor,’ ‘Righteous Kill,’ ‘Lakeview Terrace,’ ‘Rachel Getting Married’
That’s a very disturbing poster for Choke [opens wide September 26] over there. But this is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, so I guess it was always going to make for a disturbing movie. In it, apparently, Sam Rockwell is a con artist obsessed with sex and faking his own imminent death. Yup, … more…
‘Sarah Connor Chronicles’ blogging: “Samson and Delilah”
Spoilers! Don’t read until you’ve seen the episode.
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Judge Judy: Second to None’
According to one reviewer on Amazon, the cases include: * PATTERSON VS. JIMERSON – A 16-year-old girl (Patterson) sues a prom date that didn’t show up (Jimerson) for the cost of doing her hair and buying a prom outfit * BROWN VS. PRITCHETT – A twentysomething man (Brown) sues a 13-year-old girl (Pritchett), for whom … more…
the American ‘Life on Mars’ is not dead yet
My brother sent me a photo from his phone Monday night: Apparently the destined-to-be-dreadful American remake of maybe-the-best-TV-show-ever Life on Mars will be shooting in his Astoria (Queens) neighborhood this morning. Yeah, the show is now set in New York City — it had originally been set in Cincinnati, I think. Or was it Pittsburgh? … more…
oh, and ‘Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles’ returns tonight
On Fox! At 8pm Eastern! I’d have had no idea if I hadn’t seen the ad on the IMDB this morning. Thank god for advertising. (If the spirit moves me after I see tonight’s season premiere, I’ll blog about this show again, too, like I did last season. I guess check back later tonight or … more…
‘Heroes’ pseudo viral ad
Speaking of interesting ads I noted on the subway while riding bored… This one started out with just the regular Heroes logo, and then a week or so later, the “villains” bit appeared, apparently spray-painted over it (you have to get up very close to it for the illusion of the spray-paint to fall apart, … more…
