  • Buying for your girl: It's not that hard
    Handy hints for the many men you hate buying for that special someone.
  • Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwantysiliogogogoch website
    Mostly under construction.
  • Christmas with the Kranks (PG)
    I had to read this title several times before I realised it wouldn't featuring a small woman with red hair pretending to be a school boy. But judging by this Roger Ebert review that might have been preferable.
  • What Stanley didn't say
    "Six months after Stanley Kubrick died, a 'world exclusive' was published - a supposed last interview on the set of Eyes Wide Shut. Odd, thought Anthony Frewin, the director's long-time friend: this didn't sound like Kubrick. Was it a fake?"
  • Doctor Who: The Roof of the World
    The Big Finish audio eluded to in the Kubrick article
  • CHUD.reviews The Matrix DVD collection
    It's about what you'd expect then.
  • Liv Ullmann: A Ms. conversation with the legendary actor-turned-director
    Fascinating interview. Best bit: "REL: You’ll next be directing a new film version of A Doll’s House. LU: Yes, I have finished a script. Kate Winslet has said “yes” to do Nora, John Cusack has said “yes” to do Helmer..."
  • IMdb entry for A Doll's House
    Tim Roth as well? I once saw Juliet Stevenson as Nora in a BBC production so WInslet is following in auspicious footsteps.
  • New Carrots Offer Colorful Surprises--and Health Benefits
    Colour co-ordinated carrots coming to a supermarket near you.
  • Wired News: Newspapers Should Really Worry
    I was worried the other day as I sat on the bus watching someone ploughing through something by Proust that I don't read enough. But actually I read a hell of a lot. On screens. And I'm not the only one.
  • Clear Channel sponsor "Our Leader" Dubya Bush
    Not my leader.
  • Wockerjabby wished this would be her house when she grew up...
    .... that was by *bedroom* before I moved house and streamlined. You can never find anything, and you never have the time to read whatever it was you were looking for.
  • Astonishing X-Men: The Director’s Commentary—Deleted Scenes
  • Joss Whedon announces delay to release of 'Serenity' on Whedonesque. Suddenly, somewhere a server is collapsing.
    But I absolutely understand the decision. It was going to be opening the day before Star Wars. Which was a horrible idea. Big Sci-fi movies have appeared in September and done very well.

    A global directory of newspaper and magazine websites. Electronic trees.
  • Sky takes over Oscar night mantle
    ... just as we cancelled our subscription. Back to listening to it on the radio then.
