You know who Roger Corman is. He made a slew of cheapo exploitation flicks in the era before inexpensive camcorders and online DVD sales made that somewhat less impossible than it is today. He virtually invented the American independent cinema scene.
The question was: Which actor has played the Doctor the longest? The answer is, well, kinda timey-whimey…
All I can think about is M. Night Shyamalan’s risible The Happening, and poor Alan Ruck having to deliver one of the most awful lines of dialogue in the history of movies: ‘There appears to be an event occurring.’
I love coming across color images from the eras when black-and-white photography and film were so dominant. But what about going further back into the past? How does a sudden look at a time that we’ve only ever seen as monochrome change how you think about it?

“The Time of Angels.” I know. I’m on top of it. If you want to jump in to watching Doctor Who but you’ve never seen it before and you’re worried you’re be all confused and lost, check out io9’s “Everything You Need To Know About Doctor Who” (via reader Keith).
I’m not going to San Diego Comic Con this week. I wish I was. One of these years, I will get there. And I wouldn’t be alone, of course: it’s been a long time since fandom and geekness has been a primarily male domain (if it ever was). But you’d hardly know that from the … more…
