‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Matt Smith and Karen Gillan sing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
They do not, it must be said, sing it very well. But it’s amusing anyway…
question of the day: What actor who hasn’t already done so should play Ebenezer Scrooge?
I bet Morgan Freeman would be awesome as Scrooge…
watch it: 1980s Atari Christmas E.T. commercial
I fight it rather disturbing to think about E.T. masquerading as Santa. I also wonder if a being from a culture that has mastered intersteller travel would find the Atari 2600 game system rather primitive.
final (for now) FlickFilosopher get-together in NYC on Saturday, January 15
In anticipation of my flying out of New York and returning who-knows-when, I invite any and all to join me for drinks and generally revelry somewhere in Manhattan on Saturday, January 15.
to give or to keep: Roger Corman’s Cult Classics DVDs
You know who Roger Corman is. He made a slew of cheapo exploitation flicks in the era before inexpensive camcorders and online DVD sales made that somewhat less impossible than it is today. He virtually invented the American independent cinema scene.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Dalek Christmas tree
What is it about Christmas and Daleks? Is there some Yuletide connection with Skaro that I’ve missed all these years? What on Earth — or beyond — would inspire this?
Little Fockers (review)
It mystifies me as I try to fathom just what the hell an actor with the stature of Robert DeNiro is doing in a movie that finds the height of its humor in a child’s projectile vomiting and four-hour boners.
trailer break: ‘Trollhunter’
Nice to see a story about a fantasy mythology that isn’t drawing on the Anglo-Saxon well that is running dry…
question of the day: What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen?
I’m talking real, down-to-earth, honest-to-awfulness, worst movie you’ve ever seen. Not the movie that’s so bad it’s great. Not a guilty pleasure you acknowledge is terrible but you have a sneaking fondness for anyway. Nope: I want you to dredge up the most excruciating memory of a movie-watching experience you can manage without blowing out a cranial artery.
watch it: “Rudolph (You Don’t Have To Put On The Red Light)”
People are demented.
