- Again, sorry for the delay in posts. I am happy to say that my picks for 2008 movies in all the usual categories will be ready for posting by Friday.
- RIP: Kim Manners, a very talented TV director/producer
- EEEEEEEEK! I'm positively giddy at the prospect of Rob Thomas being in-the-works with a Veronica Mars movie. I'm a HUGE fan of Veronica Mars. My ticket is guaranteed. Heck, I'll see it at least a dozen times theatrically...
- Here's some impressive data tracking the pirating of Oscar screener leaks in recent years.
- Too wild - a ballet of Bear McCreary's score to Battlestar. ("Balletstar?")
- And speaking of Battlestar, it's awesome to find out that the brilliant Jane Espenson will be taking over as showrunner on Caprica. Very cool news.
- Cops get to have all the fun
- Here's a classic complaint letter
- ABC seems to be regressing to the 80's (I'm not complaining), with new TV series of V and also The Witches Of Eastwick.
- Coming soon: Google Ocean
- Clap your hands. You know you want to.
- Some very cool long exposure photography
- I, for one, welcome our new jellyfish overlords.
- This is one cavalier kitty (don't worry, it doesn't end like you might initially expect)
- The first review of Windows
- I'd like to congratulate Paramount for finishing the run of Wings on DVD. Few things frustrate me as much as studios who stop the releases of shows part way through (I'm never going to forgive WB for releasing 3 out of 4 volumes for Animaniacs then stopping).
- I'd also like to congratulate Universal for releasing a proper season 1 DVD set for House, correcting their poor, non-anamorphic original set. If only CBS would re-do season 1 of CSI (which I think they were rumored to do years ago, but it never seemed to materialize). Heck, CBS needs to just start releasing CSI on Blu-Ray.
- And while I'm congratulating studios/networks, I'd like to congratulate the TNT series Leverage for a great recovery with this week's episode, after the stunningly awful episode last week. Seriously, one of the worst episodes of a scripted show I've seen in a long time. And the visual effects could have embarrassed a low-budget syndicated show from the 80's. It's particularly tough to watch something that stupendously bad when it's from such an otherwise great show.
- Oh, and it's totally old news at this point, but since I've lagged behind in my posts here I figured it worth mentioning - RIP: Circuit City
- Cool
