Enough Said trailer: James Gandolfini’s final film

Thu, Aug 08, 2013
2 comments

I was gonna say it was enough sad to know that this is the last we’ll see of Gandolfini, but this looks like it could be really funny and sweet and honest. So that’s good. A good funny movie to go out on.

I’ll watch Naomi Watts and Naveen Andrews in anything, though this does look a bit like a TV melodrama.

Doctor Who thing: Peter Capaldi, teenaged Doctor Who geek

Tue, Aug 06, 2013

Evidence: a Radio Times letter, a fanzine article, and being a pain in the ass to the poor kid who ran the Official Doctor Who Fan Club.

Doctor Who thing: and the 12th Doctor is… Peter Capaldi

Sun, Aug 04, 2013

can you spot the bullshit in this description of Timur Bekmambetov’s Warriors of Oz?

The female protagonist has been scrubbed from this “classic story.” Why, Bekmambetov? You got a problem with women?

Doctor Who thing: Steven Moffat threatens fans, wants to keep a lid on 50th-anniv promos

Comic-Con audience got two trailers, but no one else can see them (yet). What could possibly be the benefit to withholding trailers like this?

this is the Lianne Spiderbaby piece that Bleeding Cool posted and then scrubbed

Sun, Jul 21, 2013

There’s a very small window of opportunity when something like this can be posted and be relevant, and we’re really already past that point. Still, I promised you all that I would share it if Bleeding Cool wouldn’t, so here it is.

Wadjda director Haifaa al-Mansour: “I wanted to have a voice”

Sun, Jul 21, 2013

Unfortunately, you don’t need to live in a repressive place like Saudi Arabia to feel, as a woman, that you don’t have a voice, or that you’ll get hate mail if you speak out.
