I’ve been talking about it loudly and frequently for ages: the entertainment environment is changing rapidly, all sorts of new options are available for acquiring and viewing movies, and Hollywood should be listening to how its customers are telling the industry it needs to change. Going to the multiplex is an expensive and unpleasant proposition … more…
So it seems that Keanu Reeves was caught in the compromising position of eating a sandwich in public by himself: and somehow this got interpreted as Keanu feeling sad and down and blue and alone and unemployed and whatev. And an Internet meme was born: He’s actually not unemployed — he’s got plenty work, the … more…
Or Clash of the Geeks. You know who Wil Wheaton is: the erstwhile Wesley Crusher, currently professional geek and keeper of WWdN: In Exile — which always makes me do a double take, because I expect the wWdN to stand for “What Would Wil Wheaton Do?” which it might as well do, seeing as how … more…
I want. Probably the Luke lightsaber chopsticks pictured [Amazon U.S.]. Or maybe I should buy the Yoda and Vader set [Amazon U.S.] so both a guest and I can use the Force while we eat our dumplings. Product features (via Amazon): * Chopsticks in the shape of your favorite Jedi weapons * Fully licensed Lucasfilm … more…

My Doctor Who pal bronxbee and I wondered whether this meant that little boys would, now that Matt Smith has taken over the role, start wearing bowties to playdates. And yes: yes it does mean that. … more…
When I was a kid and fell in love with movies and decided I wanted to make movies (an ambition that later morphed into writing about movies, so no, I’m not quite the cliché of the critic who’s a thwarted filmmaker), I decided that I wanted to be the next Steven Spielberg. His movies of … more…
J.D. Shapiro, one of the screenwriters of Battlefield Earth, has apologized for his crime: he was only looking to get laid. It wasn’t as I intended — promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn’t really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to … more…
For a while many years ago I was geekishly collecting Star Trek Barbies and X-Files Barbies, so I squee’d when I saw this: March 10, 2010 — New York, NY — Mattel, Inc., Lionsgate® (NYSE: LGF), and AMC announced today the launch of four Barbie® Collector “Mad Men” dolls available to consumers July 2010. Designed … more…
