Rosaline Terrill, her husband William, my wife Melinda and I were all shopping at a rather derelict mall down in Dallas during Wizard World Texas. We were stopped by a couple of those annoying people who beg busy shoppers to interrupt their shopping time to take product surveys…in this case, view a movie clip and…

If you missed the news Sunday
“We Got Him” Melinda and I didn’t find out about the capture of Saddam Hussein until Sunday afternoon, so I was probably later to the party than most of you. But if any of you were away from TV and the Internet until Monday, here is the essential footage online at WashingtonPost.com
Movie titles made for bad reviews
Actually, the trailer for The Big Empty makes it look like a could-be-exciting movie. But if it happens to be a bad film, the critics have their opening sentences already written. (Dana Carvey used to discuss this phenomenon in regards to his own movies, which often had unfortunate titles. “Opportunity does not knock for Dana…
One of the few, the proud…
…the Independence Day fans. Yeah, I liked ID4. I still like ID4. Even with all the stuff that was improbable and didn’t make any sense.

Watchmen shooting in 2004?
Variety and Comics2Film have reported that Watchmen may be filming next year. A decade ago, Terry Gilliam was going to turn it into a movie, and Alan Moore wished him luck on finding some way to cut down the 12-issue series so that it would play as a film. (Moore had no idea how.)

Sean at All Too Flat has been reading (or possibly re-reading) The Lord of the Rings and sharing his thoughts on each chapter. On 12/4/2003, he has this to ask upon reading that Gandalf put “the fear of fire” on Gollum: Is Gandalf a war criminal? A fair enough question, given the trouble that Lt….
