reports from the land of betwixt and between
This news makes me a very happy fanboy!
This new Tardis – not an obligatory accessory for each new Doctor, but required by the damage done to it in Tennant’s last episode – is big. It must be three times the size of Tennant’s, on multiple levels with staircases in between. Less grubby than [...]
Wherein I profess my admiration for H. Jon Benjamin and link to the first episode of his show Archer.
Dead Set
If you like zombie movies or even horror movies in general and haven’t yet seen this British mini-series, you really really oughta check it out.
Dead Set is intense and is probably one of the scariest zombie stories I’ve seen, with impeccable horror timing and writing that blends dark and cynical humor with social critique [...]
I’m doing sound design for the upcoming New Plays Festival at Brown University and we are heading into the last week before tech. Between my day job and working on the shows, I will be pretty busy for the next couple of weeks. Sadly, I missed posting a “Music You May Have Missed” entry on [...]

So disappointing that I had to blog about it, even with the attendant risk that I might confirm the suspicions of people who don’t like the show. I mean, it’s one thing to complain about [...]
Only 8 Days until the Doctor Who Christmas Special “Voyage of the Damned” airs in the UK.
Hmm, wonder how a bloke in the US will be able to see it on Christmas day?

J and I watched Orlando this past weekend – I had seen it years ago and she had never seen it and lately we’ve been on a bit of a Tilda Swinton kick. There was one moment, when Orlando is standing in front of the gates to a huge mansion and the rain starts pouring [...]
Keith Olbermann on Health Care Reform – A Must See For Everyone
A special, hour-long commentary. Share it with anyone you can. Regardless of your politics, this is an issue beyond partisanship and petty bickering and I hope you will take the time to listen. If you disagree, I’d love to hear actual well constructed and intelligent arguments. Specious arguments about Nazis and Socialism don’t qualify.
