Mere days ago, I said that it was “about time Andrew Garfield broke out.” And it appears he’s on his way: a press release from Sony today announced that he has been cast as Peter Parker in the reboot of Spider-man. The press release doesn’t really have anything more to add except heaps of praise … more…
My beef with Disney is by now well known, but it’s nothing to what it would be were The Mouse to take on my baby, Doctor Who. Then, we’re talking total war. io9 commenter Cristoval created a few concepts for what a Disney Doctor Who would look like (featured recently at io9). For one — … more…
I avoid posting Ain’t It Cool-type rumors or unsubstantiated gossip, but I think it’s worth pointing out that when it comes to a show with such a devoted cult following as Doctor Who, rumors are always rife and frequently must be eyed with deep skepticism.

At the Coventry Telegraph blog The Geek Files, Steven Moffat teases us some more about tonight’s finale (warning: spoilers for “The Pandorica Opens”!): The Doctor is trapped inside a … more…
I know. I’m behind in my classic Doctor Who blogging. I should have posted “Spearhead in Space” last week, and then somehow I promised both “An Unearthly Child” and “The Ark in Space” today. How did that happen? I do understand how calendars work, honestly. Anywhere, here’s the revised schedule: June 27: Spearhead from Space … more…
It suddenly occurred to me when I was writing about the trailer for Never Let Me Go the other day that I was surprised that we don’t see more movies like that one these days. See, 25 years ago, when I was 15, if someone had told me, “By the time you’re 40, geeks will … more…
Submitted by many readers. Thank you. You will be spared extermination. (If you stumble across a cool Doctor Who thing, feel free to email me with a link.)
