‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Christopher Eccleston’s charity Dalek sketch
It’s part of National Doodle Day, in support of Epilepsy Action, which helps people living with epilepsy. You can text to vote for Eccleston’s sketch (or that of any of the many other celebs who contributed), or bid to buy the originals on eBay…
question of the day: What secondary or tertiary characters from literature deserve their own movie?
Or even if they don’t actually deserve it, you just want to see it…
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Russell T. Davies might leave ‘Torchwood’
Oh noes! Or maybe not oh-noes. Maybe giving the series over to another showrunner would be a good thing, would keep the show from getting stale.
question of the day: Why isn’t Hailee Steinfeld a leading actress?
Have you seen True Grit? Have you noticed how it’s pretty much all about a 14-year-old girl? Have you noticed that not only is Hailee Steinfeld’s character the one who drives the story, but she also has at least as much screen time as Jeff Bridges, perhaps even more? So how the heck is she only a “supporting” actress?
question of the day: What filmmakers seem to have lost their minds?
Kevin Smith? John Carpenter? They’re two potentials on my list at the moment…
question of the day: Who the heck is Saoirse Ronan going to play in ‘The Hobbit’?
Please don’t tell me that she’s going to be a dwarf who, halfway through Mirkwood, reveals she’s actually Thorin Oakenshield’s teenage daughter who disobeyed Dad when he told her she couldn’t come along on his quest…
question of the day: Has Kevin Smith finally gone mad… or is he brilliant?
Smith wants his fans to pay $60 to see his new movie, Red State, in order to support independent filmmaking and independent distribution. Could any movie possibly be worth that, even to Smith’s legions of fans?
wtf: Keith Olbermann off the air?!
Is it time to be scared yet?
omg: David Tennant joins ‘The Hobbit’!
Well, maybe…
