This is on the beginning of the Speed Racer DVD, and I assume elsewhere. I watched it with my mouth gaping. Who at Warner Brothers thought this would be a good use of a classic film? And how about these values: “Making time with Victor’s girl - good; pirating DVDs - bad.” Yep, copying their precious intellectual property is definitely worse than, like, mere spousal infidelity. For reals, WB?
It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
I’m not quite finished with the December reading/watching recap, but since publishing “best of” lists is the thing to do at the end of the year, I figured I could go ahead and do that. And by “best of 2006″ I mean “best that I saw or read in 2006,” because, as usual, I [...]
Not all my shows have premiered yet, but a few have, and I think it’s about time I start obsessing, so here we go.

Veronica Mars renewed for a third season. (The announcement is below the Grey’s Anatomy interview.)
WOOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!!!
I was fairly confident it would be, but it’s nice to have confirmation. Sorry to any Everwood fans out there…I didn’t watch it, but I know a lot of people really loved it. Okay, now back to VM. If I weren’t [...]
Okay, people I know in real life need to watch Veronica Mars. Because last night’s season finale? Amazing. And I want to talk to people about it so badly it hurts. I mean, I’m talking with online people, which is cool, and I watched it with some online-friends-turned-real-life-friends, but when I get obsessed about stuff, [...]
