Last winter, NBC booted Conan O’Brien out of its late-night NBC spot. O’Brien landed at the basic-cable channel TBS, and his new talk show debuts there tonight at 11pm Eastern. Guess who else is on at 11pm Eastern on basic cable?
Obviously there are plenty of individuals who believe that the war in Iraq is illegal and who value integrity and principle. But there doesn’t seem to be anything unifying those people into action… and the results of this past Tuesday’s elections in the U.S. appear to suggest that the American public, in the aggregate, is dedicated to repudiating anything that could be called “counterculture,” or “liberal,” or “progressive”…
I think it’s safe to assume that if you’re regularly reading a site devoted to movies, like this one, that you generally believe that movies overall are important. But are there specific movies that you consider personally important? And if so, what is it about those movies that make them important to you?
I don’t think Blubberella, offensive as it is, can come close to being as awful as Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, Gigli, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter, or Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.

I found a lot of the gothic Tom Baker stories pretty frightening: “The Seeds of Doom” was pretty creepy, with its body-conscious horror (the villain gets transformed into an alien plant). I still find something really unsettling about the immortals in the Peter Davison story “Enlightenment”: though they look entirely human, they have an eerie kind of calm about them that makes them feel way more alien than most of the guys in rubber suits have ever been.
Halloween on a Sunday means we get a whole weekend of spooky festivities, if we so desire. Which means lots of opportunities for costume wearing. Will you dress up for a party, for trick-or-treating (by yourself or with kids), to greet trick-or-treaters, or just for your own amusement?
To get us in the spirit of Halloween…
Cuz it sure does look like a woman talking into a mobile phone at the 1928 premiere of a Charlie Chaplin movie! There’s video and everything!
