The Best TV Series of 2011
The best TV series of the 2010/11 season is the NBC series Community. It’s heart-wrenching to watch a series as funny, compelling and dare I say brilliant as that of Community and to know that very few other people are watching. Very, very few. So few that NBC has decided that after the first of the year it will temporarily pull Community from the schedule in the new year so they can air...

The Best Movie and TV Posters of 2011
I’ve been picking what I think are the best movie posters of the year each year since 2006. And while I’ve always been able to find many interesting movie posters, it wasn’t until recently that posters for TV series started catching my attention. So, this year, I’ve decided to include TV posters in this “best of” list. Goodbye “The Best Movie Posters of...

Kenner’s Robin Hood Toys
Its not uncommon to find examples of genetic engineering within the realm of parumplasticus populus [Latin: little plastic people]. In fact, the re-purposing of action figure DNA happens frequently within a species. What’s not as common is to see unrelated species share the same genetics. Rarer still is to find that elusive action figure line that is bred almost entirely from foreign DNA. Some...

Community and their three-year old Beetlejuice...
Community just became the best-ever comedy in my eyes. From Wired: If there was any doubt that Community was one of the smartest half-hour comedies to ever air on network television, allow us to enter this into evidence: The show spent three years setting up a joke about Beetlejuice, and that joke was simply an Easter egg hidden amongst other already amazing gags. Here’s how it played out. Over...

John Carter of Mars White Ape Image
Here’s a new image from the upcoming John Carter (of Mars) movie. From EW: How has John Carter come to find himself in this predicament? I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but basically he needs an army to solve his big problem in the third act, and the only army he knows was his previous captors. When he goes back, the game has changed, and he gets incarcerated. This is what he has...

Bret McKenzie, The Muppets and The Concords
Bret McKenzie Meets the Muppets So it makes sense that (Bret) McKenzie (of Flight of the Conchords) should apply his rare talents to a sacred and definitely more daunting Muppets-related endeavor; he has written three songs for the forthcoming movie “The Muppets.” It’s a sacred endeavor because, to a certain generation, of which McKen­zie is part (he is 35), the Muppets are a found­ational part...

A few years back I wrote a column on how some friends of mine and I consume movies and TV series and I thought it would be interesting to revisit that idea for me and see how things have changed since then. Back when I wrote that original column in early 2009,I tended to watch movies from my DVD collection on my my Apple TV and would rent a few movies a year from Apple iTunes. I also watched many...
