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 …
The new Tripwire Special is here — Tripwire being an estimable British comics magazine. The real revelation for me in this ish was a piece about Kick-Ass, a comic I had not previously heard of, but which not only exists but is about to become a movie, very possibly a movie I want to see, for a few different reasons. Reason One, the …
Hi! I’m Tim Long, a colleague of Matt Selman’s on The Simpsons writing staff. I’m subbing for Matt today while he works on next week’s blog post, an elaborate parody of X-Men Origins – Wolverine entitled, Breakfast Men Origins – Chocula.
My subject today is this:
“I can’t deny that I’m a nerd” – Katie …
– Terrafugia has successfully road-tested its ‘flying car,’ in defiance of the fact that I don’t really want a flying car. It basically just looks like a plane with big wheels on it anyway. I’m holding out for hoverbikes.
– Apparently IBM is thinking about buying Sun. Sure, why not?
