You may not have been aware of it, but DC’s Final Crisis mini-series mega-event wrapped up last month. That was it. No more crises after this. That was the final one.
I usually avoid this kind of continuity-wide mini-series. I’ve just read too many of them that are all, ‘this will change everything,’ and then nothing ever changes, …
First up, the first fully fledged Moon trailer:
I kind of … want this. It looks like Total Recall meets Eternal Sunshine. I’m trying not to think about the fact that the director, one Duncan Jones, is apparently David Bowie’s son. If you look on YouTube you can find a set of five clips from the movie, but I’m not linking to them …
From this week’s magazine: an essay about the sudden ascent of the zombie in popular culture. And this is before I’d even heard about Blackest Night, DC’s zombie thing (which I do not yet have the pleasure of understanding, but it looks like it has zombies in it, too). This one started life as a blog post, so now the circle of life …
That’s the gist of this post at io9, which links to this tweet — I will never stop hating that word — from Felicia Day:
Man, day getting worse and worse. Found out my Dollhouse ep, #13 isn’t gonna air. Only on DVD. Such a great part too. Thx Fox. :(
Whedonesque neither confirms nor denies. Drag, if true. Especially since, apparently, …
I cook a lot. I didn’t used to. My father lives on Saltines, and my mother is English, so all in all we weren’t a big food house. Plus I thought of cooking as something cool people did. Cool is not really my department. Nerds are supposed to live on vending machine food. Which I did for a long time.
But you know, sometimes I watched …
Wherein I talk to Seth Grahame-Smith about his crime against nature, and literature, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. “If people planted cauliflower in their garden, you might find a zombie on its hands and knees, gnawing on a head of cauliflower, having mistaken it for a brain … “
This may be the blog turf of Time TV critic James Ponzionsoinzweik, but I had to bring it up. ABC’s Life on Mars just aired its series finale. And when my friend’s mom told him what the show’s twist ending was, and he told me, I had to see it for myself. Now, I never watched the American version of the program, but I would argue …
The full cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation was on Family Guy last night. (Also apparently Meg gets religion.) I didn’t see it then. But I’m watching it right now. So can you! Because it’s on Hulu.
(Here at Time we’ve invented a new kind of blog where you can’t embed Hulu videos. So a link is all you get.)
Posting about the Where the Wild Things Are trailer has already, in 24 hours, become the trucker hat of nerdblogging. Who am I to defy the status quo? Nobody, that’s who.
I initially held off on a post about this trailer because … I didn’t like it. I yield to nobody in my love for Spike Jonze, or at least Being John Malkovich. …
I never read Enid Blyton when I was a kid. That is because I grew up in a country called “America.” But apparently she’s a big deal in other parts of the English-speaking universe — last year in a UK poll she was voted the most beloved author of all time.
Now, I’ve eaten marmite, so I know that English people have a sick sense of …
I finally got to watch Friday night’s Dollhouse yesterday. It’s currently the only episodic television I follow, and I’m a little at a loss to explain its hold over me. But that’s not stopping me from having opinions about it! To wit:
– Obviously, there’s a lot of sex stuff implicit in the whole Dollhouse premise. I’m starting to …
