Air travel to and from Europe has been disrupted — it’s been all but nonexistent, in fact — for days now because of the danger posed by the ash cloud being spewed out of the erupting Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. Each day, news reports have been saying things like: Forecasts suggest the cloud of ash … more…
Okay, fanboys: Here’s a bit of advice. If you’re the big sweaty guy wearing the T-shirt two sizes too small, the question someone like Karen Gillan wants to hear from you is not: “Are you a chubby chaser?” It’s not cute, it’s not charming, it’s not clever: it’s kinda icky.

Came home this afternoon from a non-movie-related client meeting, flipped on the TV as background for the next few hours’ writing, and discovered an announcement from my cable company, Cablevision: • ABC is threatening to pull the plug on WABC-7 unless Cablevision and its customers agree to pay millions of dollars in new fees.

The debut of the newest actor to play the 900-year-old Time Lord is almost upon us: Doctor Who returns on April 3 in the U.K. — that’s Easter Saturday, continuing the tradition for each season’s premiere since the show relauched in 2005 — and April 17 on BBC America (though many American fans, even those … more…

And runs all week. Rumor had it that it was going to air almost simulanteously in the U.S., but clearly, this is not happening: it debuts on BBC America on July 20th. I shan’t be waiting that long to check it out, of course. Not that my stupid cable company carries BBC America anyway. And … more…
My regular weekend Doctor Who blogging is coming late tonight or tomorrow, but in the meantime, there’s lots of news about the show to share. (Thanks to all the many readers who have emailed me links, including: John, Martha, Alison, Gail, Steve, Matthew, and Jeff.) • David Tennant’s Hamlet (which I reviewed here) will definitely … more…
