watch it: “Green Porno: Earthworm”
Isabella Rosellini is demented in the most delightful way. She’s making porno about insects… and she’s starring in it: Green Porno: Earthworm on FunnyOrDie.com (Technorati tags: Green Porno, Isabella Rosellini)
women are not a ‘niche audience’
Unbelievable. IMDB’s Studio Briefing splashes this headline today: “Can Niche Audience Make ‘Sex And The City’ A Hit?” Niche audience. Women are a “niche audience.” More than half the population: “niche.” Excuse me for not sounding very ladylike, but What. The. Fuck. Studio Briefing quotes, with a sort of smug nod of approval, the Los … more…
I hate the Sci Fi Channel’s ‘Doctor Who’ promos
They’re terrible. Ditto the coming attractions at the end of each episode. They don’t capture a real sense of the story — especially when compared to the British previews on the end of each episode, which are pretty much uniformly brilliant. And Sci Fi promos are often misleading. Or simply flat-out wrong, like the one … more…

It’s pretty much all about the cute boys with swords for me…
‘Mad Money’ and women on film
So I wrote the other day about why there are so few women at the multiplex this summer — a riff on a similar complaint by The New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis — but then along this week comes Mad Money on DVD, which had its theatrical release just this past January. It’s … more…
daily list: 5 products of Hollywood that are pure fiction

Ugh: NEW YORK (AP) — ABC will introduce only two new series in the fall, one of them scripted, in a schedule the network admits was severely affected by the 100-day TV writers strike. The new David E. Kelley-produced drama, “Life on Mars,” is about a police detective transported back to 1973. ABC gave it … more…
my week at the movies: ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,’ ‘Prince Caspian,’ ‘Stuck,’ ‘Young@Heart’
This billboard in Times Square has been tormenting me for weeks now. I can’t look at it without hearing that dum-da-DUM-DUM, dum-da-dum theme music. I can’t wait to see the movie. And now the wait is almost over: just a few days more. I am seriously geeked. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal … more…

I hate John Scalzi
I’m just so pissed. Because John Scalzi is supposed to be my Official Stalker, and it looks like he stole a gig that should have been mine: writing about SF/F films at AMC.com. Bastard. His first column, on Guillermo del Toro taking the helm of The Hobbit, is up now. Enjoy. Cuz I sure can’t … more…
