watch it: “George Lucas Strikes Back”
It’s not a real trailer, but it should be. It should be.
say good-bye to PBS as we’ve known it
You may remember the time, many years ago, when you could sit down to an evening of Masterpiece Theater or Mystery! on PBS, and after a brief reminder that the forthcoming entertainment was brought to you by Mobil Oil, that was it: you were done being advertised at. No more…
Zookeeper (trailer)
I want to believe that this is a joke. Then again, I’ve been trying to convince myself for years that the movie-stardom of Kevin James is a joke, but it’s really real. So I guess this movie is real, too.
question of the day: Is it ever a good idea to ban any film… even ‘The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)’?
As disgusting and reprehensible as a movie may be, doesn’t a ban bring even more attention to a film that it might otherwise have received had it been labeled with the most restrictive rating the BBFC can dole out?
pix of David Tennant and Catherine Tate in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ in the West End (and my first reaction)
I don’t want to say too much about the show yet, because it was still in previews when I saw it, but I will say this, because it’s hard to see how it could change: This production of Much Ado About Nothing is the third funniest thing I’ve ever seen on stage…
watch it: “Cosmic Journeys: What an Astronaut’s Camera Sees”
I so want to see this view — shot by NASA astronauts of the Earth from orbit — with my own eyes…
VS Naipaul isn’t just a sexist pig, he’s blindered to his own privilege
Gotta love what author V.S. Naipaul thinks of women writers: they’re none of them his equal because of their “narrow” perspective…
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Steven Moffat rec.arts.drwho posts from 1995-6 shows he’s been thinking about “A Good Man Goes to War” for a long time
In January 1995 and April 1996, Steven Moffat posted some, er, interesting things to rec.arts.drwho…
Fright Night (trailer) (finally with some David Tennant!)
Yeah, I know this is mostly the same as the trailer I posted a few weeks back… but now there’s a few glimpses of David Tennant, so it is most important to get this in front of your eyeballs.
question of the day: If you were going to invent a new Oscar category à la the MTV Movie Awards, what would it be, and who or what would be the definitive example of a winner?
Perhaps the best thing about the MTV Movie Awards is its cheeky categories: Best Kiss, Best Fight, Best Villain. The Oscars could use a few fun categories to enliven its broadcast each year…
