Joss Whedon will direct ‘Avengers’; much ado about ‘Inception’ and ‘Mad Men’; celebrity stalkers; more: leftover links
Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But … more…
trailer break: ‘Megamind’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… So, it’s to be Despicable Me meets The Incredibles, then? I can take it. Sucks, I suppose, to be the second movie of the year about an idea that probably seemed wildly original when it was in conceived only to be thrown back in your face when … more…
