I get to read for a living. Seriously, does it get any better than that?
Waited on William Hurt once while working at McDonald's, decades ago.

You shall not ... pass!
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

Here is my Spotify holiday playlist. It's not all those songs you hear dozens of times each December. More like a jazz/blues selection of songs with a more somber mood, as if you were in your favorite bar enjoying a holiday evening, maybe.

This was the original show's last great season, IMHO. "Morgus, you stinking offal..."
Season 21 is coming to Doctor Who: The Collection Blu-ray range.

The best thing Disney has done since Aladdin. Maybe the only thing that could get me into a movie theater on opening day ever again.

So what's going to happen to TCM in this Netflix-Warners/HBO deal? That's what I really want to know.

A lot of them were unintentionally funny. Once, he seemed to trip before falling off the castle roof. The lightning strike came out of nowhere. The fiery demise in the Franco film looked like a Muppet being burned. And how did he end up inside the carriage wheel in AD 1972? Some Overlord of Evil!

Although I like the "Bond is a code name" idea, because then "The Tailor of Panama" can be seen as what became of Brosnan's character.

Dear Amazon: The Craig movies were their own self-contained timeline, so his death should not be an obstacle to the next Bond film. Just hit the reboot button and start over again. Make it a period piece in the 1950s and 60s.

Best Michael Crichton film adaptation? Everyone says Jurassic Park, but I'd make a case for Westworld (1973). Very underrated movie.
