Not generally a fan of anime as a genre, but I do so love some Supernatural. I've heard good things....
Someone, somewhere, for some reason unknown to man and god, has decided that another part of their childhood should be resurrected and inflicted on us all. A Live Action film version of Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Of course, nowadays,...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/19/randy-quaid-evi-quaid_n_903522.html I missed a lot of this story over the last couple of years, but is this it? No more Randy Quaid? I was holding out hope for one, last, blow-out Vacation movie.

So, the Big 4 hit Gothenburg this past Sunday. I confess to missing Anthrax' and half of Megadeth's shows, but from what I understand I missed little. Anyway. What surprised me was seeing a Metallica so focused and in such good humour. Slayer was...
Guess the reference, add your own! All the kids are doing it!
Every political campaign nowadays appears to have a theme song to try and capture their particular zeitgeist and how the appeal to the world at large. But what happens if the person using the music has polar political beliefs to the...

Chris Packham, one of the presenters of Springwatch has been caught slipping in song titles from the Manic Street Preachers into his presenting. It's not the first time he has done it, but I think this is the first time the BBC have not only...
JK Rowling has just unveiled the new part of the Harry Potter universe website called Pottermore containing more material about the setting, stories, challenges, games and a whole wealth of yet more Harry Potter. Welcome to the new Facebook.
I did not realize that Debbie has spent her life collecting these items; it's a very impressive collection. She had the famous Marilyn Monroe "subway grate" dress (it went for about $5 million), several dresses Julie Andrews wore in The Sound...
Sarah, I'm looking at you!
I think it's cool that this guy keeps doing different stuff. This guy was The Jerk, starred in a Mamet move, and now this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/13/steve-martin_n_876233.html What a great career.
To Kill a Mockingbird: Girl meets reclusive neighbor.
My wife and I have now seen the first two episodes, without benefit of having read the books. I'm wondering, is there a point where this fantasy becomes, like, fun? Right now it's more depressing than my real life, and I'm not sure how much...
http://drafthouse.com/ 1L3eeC2lJZs Clearly I need to start watching movies in Texas.
A Fib is kind of like a haiku, in that there's a specific number of syllables in each line. In this case, it follows the pattern of the Fibonacci Sequence, where each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers. The poems usually...
Post some hot movie characters. Looking for roles that really pulled some sexy out of an actor. For example, I really like the slightly matronly, slightly bitchy role Demi Moore played in the movie Flawless opposite Michael Caine. ...
It's a new reality show about a FLDS polygamist family. There's one husband (of course), 3 wives, and 12 kids. They live in a huge house which is divided up so each wife basically has an apartment in it with her own kitchen, bedrooms, etc., but...
Linking to these just because I think they're so cool... Tang Yau Hoong I think this one's my favorite:

Man, I remember this from driving to "German School" Saturday mornings in, maybe 1973. Crazy to hear this again. Youtube can be a life saver. Anyone recall this song? Here's the crazy part, this catchy piece of Euro pop comes from the same guy...
Well, Sam will be back. Of course he will, but does it seem to anybody else that Hell is easier to get out of than the parking lot at Walmart? And since he and Dean are obviously going to have to get in the Impala and hit the road, it might be...
What's with this guy. Usually I hate him. I just watched Bicentennial Man, and am struck by how fucking sanctimonious and self-import that movie is. Almost unwatchable. Williams' whole "robot who understands the human condition better than...
According to the latest reports, his latest film, "The Beaver" is a stinker and even the assistance of Jodie Foster as director can't help. So given that he never got his cameo in "The Hangover 2", his past anti-semetic outbursts, and trouble...
Yes, it's that time of year when an extended Europe holds one of the biggest competitions going as 25 top acts representing a diverse set of countries battle it out to win the Eurovision Song Contest. The UK is being represented by Blue, who have...
Having seen some shots of the remake of the 70s series of Wonder Woman, a few things crossed my mind. I don't mind its a reboot, 40 years is plenty of time to update and they have enough material from the comics to do so. It's not the change...

Jerry has launched a website that archives all of his TV appearances since the beginning of his career. Apparently, there will be 3 to view per day, with each set of 3 only viewable during that 24-hour window. Kind of a fun way to spend 5 minutes...
Yay!
Each summer it seems that more and more music festivals are appearing and it seems to be a rite of passage for a lot of teenagers to go to them. So how many people here have been to one and what are your memories of them?
Seeing as the Governator has left work running California, he's in need of a new job and what better way than to recreate one of his most iconic parts. Ok, he's 63, so the Terminator might look a little craggy, but I'm sure he is up to the role. ...

On 19th April at 8:11pm, Skynet was to gain self-awareness and supposed to take control of US Systems and being it's purge of humanity. At least according to the Terminator movies. Instead, all I got was a lousy internet connection that kept...
Chill, baby. I am new to Ms. O'brien, so I might be getting a bogus impression, but this chick scares me. She's been subbing for Andersen Cooper this week, and I've caught two nights of her fill-in. I am freaked by her absolutely...
Elisabeth Sladen, best known for playing Sarah Jane Smith, one of Doctor Who's best companions, has died aged 63. An excellent actress playing one of the more fiesty female companions, who was around three of the Doctor's incarnations, the...

After many delays and apparently lawsuits the sequel to the delightful Hoodwink is finally going to make it to the movies: Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil. The first movie was a sleeper that did not do great box office but was smart and well done....
One of mine is Ruth's vow to Naomi from Ruth 1:16-17, which is possibly one of the most beautiful expressions of devotion I've ever read. And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest,...
I absolutely cover songs. I have at least a thousand of them that I enjoy. I like the ones that are just like the original and I like ones that are *nothing* like the original. Of course there are stinkers abounds, but there are so many good...

Having just seen that Disney is about to make another Miss Marple story, I was wondering which of the grand dames of the American film industry would get to play the prestigious part. Ok, no-one is going to beat Joan Hickson, but such luminaries as...
