I feel more and more like Lily Tomlin every day: No matter how cynical I get, I can’t keep up. Just like week I invented an imaginary supervillain for whom Play-Doh: The Motion Picture, Boggle: The Movie, and Trivial Pursuit: The Next Generation seemed beyond the pale, something only the depths of his depravity could … more…
obsession: Torchwood: Children of Earth (yes, my episode-by-episode is on its way, I hope next week) boyfriend: Sharlto Copley in District 9 (not his character, Wikus Van De Merwe, who’s completely dorky, but the actor, who’s smart and funny and adorably sort of David Tennant-y as himself) psyched: absolutely nothing (it’s August) girl crush: Meryl … more…
