Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But … more…
Are you lookin’ at me? Cuz I don’t see anybody else here. Dudes are some badass dudes, okay? Do. Not. Mess with them. They will fuck your shit up. They are done following orders. They are done being good citizens and good serfs. It is time to take the power of righteous fury into their … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Wow. This looks truly awesome, and I’m really, really psyched for it now. I was already, but oh man! Russell Crowe looks perfectly the part (I wasn’t sure if he’d work, but he does) and Cate Blanchett as a kick-ass, no-bullshit Marian? Excellent. Oh, and the history! … more…
Bill Nighy and Richard Curtis collaborated on a little film explaining why taking a few pennies from millionaires — who wouldn’t even notice! — in order to help the planet would be a good thing. Because it just sounds like such a horrible idea! Pretty brilliant move, calling it the Robin Hood Tax. Who doesn’t … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The first look at Ridley Scott’s Gladiator-style take on the folk hero: Pretty dark and scary and intense. And no tights in sight. Robin Hood opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on May 14, 2010.

green light (definitely check it out): The Reader: Kate Winslet likes books and teenaged boys. [Amazon U.K.] [now available at Amazon U.S.] Tokyo!: Think Tokyo je t’aime, but weirder. [Amazon U.K.] [preorder at Amazon U.S.] Pushing Daisies: Complete Season 2: How come England gets an American TV show on DVD before we do? No fair! … more…
I don’t have anything deep to say about this — I just like looking at it. And, OMG, I think I dreamed this once: Quoth USA Today (also whence this graven image hails): “He doesn’t have the old Robin Hood tights,” says producer Brian Grazer. “He’s got armor. He’s very medieval. He looks, if anything, … more…
Anglophile TV fans have been waiting for this one for a long while: the complete ‘Robin of Sherwood,’ 26 episodes of what some consider the definitive rendition of the Robin Hood story.
