The Tourist (review)
Who knew the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had such a sense of humor? A nomination for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, for The Tourist? Unless… No… They can’t mean “Inadvertent Comedy,” can they?
to give or to keep: ‘Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4’
I haven’t had anywhere near enough time to play with my Wii this year, which makes me very sad. But I may have to make time for this one…
screencap Friday: what the flick? #154
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a TV show on DVD. Guess the TV show — you don’t need to guess the episode, just the show. And if you assume it’s something I’ve said I’m watching or said I like, you’re not necessarily on the right track.
question of the day: What are the best movie titles ever?
It doesn’t matter whether the movies attached to the titles ended up sucking. What matters is whether a title is so evocative, so imaginative, so funny, so weird, so whatever that just the title alone made you want to see the movie and hope that it would live up to the awesomeness implied by its name.

to give or to keep: ‘Space: 1999: The Complete Season One’ blu-ray
I have vague memories of Space: 1999 from when I was a kid, but now that I’ve been dipping into it again, for the first time since forever, I can see that I’m going to have to rewatch the entire series anew: it’s a lot thinkier and a lot more intriguing than I remember.
question of the day: Are there any celebrity breakups we actually need to know about?
Oh noes! Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are getting a divorce! Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have broken up! Those two actors from Dexter who got married are splitting! Where will it all end? And at the holidays, no less! So sad!
