screencap Friday: what the flick? #30
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.
trailer break: ‘Midnight Meat Train’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I can see only the trailer for this flick, because even though it opens today it is not opening in New York City, and hasn’t even been screened here, to my knowledge. It does have two reviews, though, both positive, at Rotten Tomatoes, so some critics … more…
watch it: “Project Make McCain Exciting: Gray Ambition”
For those who thought that nothing could top “Stop McCain Sense”: (Technorati tags: John McCain, Gray Ambition, Colbert Challenge)
August is a red-light district
Yes, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Swing Vote — the two movies opening wide today — both get a red light from me. Welcome to August, traditionally the worst movie month of the year. And who wants to mess with tradition?
Swing Vote (review)
You almost want to hug ‘Swing Vote,’ too, it’s so cute in how it thinks that it’s not too late for all that, that one-man-one-vote really is something akin to, well, maybe nine innings of baseball on a glorious summer’s day.

Even with bar set low and my unconditional love set high, I cannot freakin’ believe how cruelly ‘Tomb’ rips out my geeky little heart and stomps on it.
trailer break: ‘Bottle Shock’

dream cast: hypothetical ‘Greatest American Hero’ movie
Here’s a new game that, if we have fun with it, I’ll make a regular weekly feature. We take a book to adapt to TV or film — or a movie or TV show to remake — and we recast it with actors working today. This one came up last night among my gang of … more…
watch it: “Stop McCain Sense”
I love it. Ohmygod, there’s a whole series of these called Make McCain Exciting. I think I shall have to feature a few more over the next few days… (Technorati tags: Stop McCain Sense)
official proof that ‘Doctor Who’ is now so hip it might start to be annoying
A commenter at Gawker — Nick Denton’s über hip Manhattan media gossip blog — is calling himself “the Doctor,” and is using an image of the TARDIS as his avatar: I’ll just remind everyone that I was uncool long before it was cool to be so, and will remain so long after it’s uncool to … more…
