Bashing the MPAA is always fun, and I will never miss an opportunity to do so. So let’s join the party A.V. Club started yesterday with their list of the 15 most egregious MPAA screwups. In a piece entitled “This film is questionably rated,” they began with the film Once…

watch it: “Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks”

Mon, Dec 06, 2010

From TED Talks, July 2010, but the cables recently released are mentioned here… though Assange says Wikileaks had not received them. So he’s either lying, for whatever reason, or Wikileaks hadn’t received them at this point. He aso talks about “legitmate secrets” and what should be released.

to give or to keep: ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’: Vol. XIX Limited Edition

Mon, Dec 06, 2010

This is the best MST3K gift set yet, and not just because it includes a six-inch-tall, startlingly lifelike figurine of Gypsy, the robot stranded spaceman Joel Robinson created to run his orbital life raft.

question of the day: What fictional home would you most like to live in?

Mon, Dec 06, 2010

Lots of domiciles from movies and TV exist only as soundstages, but we can dream. Bilbo’s round-doored hobbit hole? The Friends’ spectacular NYC apartment? The Home Alone McMansion? Don Corleone’s Staten Island estate? Somewhere else?

a few thoughts on ‘The Walking Dead’: “Wildfire”

Sat, Dec 04, 2010
no comments yet

Hey, I finally didn’t hate an episode of this show. I actually kinda liked it, in fact. Here we have, finally, some genuine emotional realism to how people are coping — or not coping, really — with the world going to hell around them.

question of the weekend: If you were a diva, what outrageous demands would you make?

Sat, Dec 04, 2010
no comments yet

Katy Perry recently demanded, as a requirement of her appearing on BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards show, that she be given crackers and cheese in her dressing room. Not so weird, perhaps, except for one provision: the crackers and cheese had to be on ice. And that’s hardly the most preposterous demand a diva has ever made…
