Picture a house with absolutely filthy exterior basement windows, the kind that just barely peek out above ground level. The owner can’t see through the things, and they need a thorough washing. He could grab the bucket and a rag and squat or kneel down to commence cleaning. He could make it easy on himself, [...] Related posts: Washboard Abs on a High-Fat Diet, No Ab Workouts and No Cardio?...

My Sony VAIO is not working. At least the wireless keyboard is dead and so I am reduced to using my very slow and temperamental French laptop This means that I can't upload new pictures since it lacks the hole into which to insert the memory card from my camera and the gadget that does fit both laptop and memory stick is in the dining room of my house in Brittany. Merde, as they say in France Since...

This is episode six in the sometimes real, mostly fictitious world of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing. What incredibly scripted adventure will Josh Flagg get into this week? Will Chad Rogers' hair run off with Starla the chihuahua? Will Madison Hildebrand drive his black or white BMW this episode? Or maybe both? This episode, Chad Rogers takes a co-listing with local realtor Rob in the lovely beachside...

Chris Mounsey, of The Devil's Kitchen and communications officer of LPUK let me know about the following: On Thursday night Chris was invited to go and see Frank Turner—a folk rock musician who was rather excellent (the song "Sons of Liberty / Fight, fight for your rights / Fight for your homes" was particularly enjoyable).

While in Benidorm in January this year, Malcolm and I noticed that the Google Earth Car went past us one morning as we walked along the seafront. I have been keeping an eye on Google Earth since then to see if we would appear - and guess what! We have... Here, I have managed to capture some screen shots from Google Earth . Google have come in for some stick recently from people who say that to have...

PITTSFIELD, MA -- The new Beacon Cinema opening on November 20 combines elements of the old and new. Housed within the 91-year-old Kinnell-Kresge building, designers have restored original ceilings and woodwork. The six-screen theater itself is technologically up-to-date with stadium seating and automated digital projection. The theater will serve beer and wine, in addition to typical movie concession...

I can't say that I spend all my nights up sleepless worrying over the future of short-form animation; it is, however, easy to say that it's hard to know where new audiences will come for any commercially marginalized form of film, be it a three-minute short or a three-hour arthouse epic. So hat-tip to Cartoon Brew for pointing me to the Puck Cinema Caravana, a small RV-type vehicle that rolls around...

Further to my previous post (the one about the Estate Agent trying to make living next to the Dome sound exciting) I have been thinking about why most of us just don't go to the Dome on a regular basis (or even at all), and what would make us go. I mean - not all of us want to go to a stadium gig every night - but there are other things there. Its problem seems to be in that it does everything you...

Just for a change, a Saturday visit to the picture house and what a change it made crowd-wise. While I much prefer an empty theater (as people are generally selfish, noisy buggers in this country) it is good to see that the cinema is still a popular place to go. The queue was pretty big [...] Post from: Mosher'sUnimaginativelyEntitledBlog - why not pop by and read some more shit? Film Saturday

I am baffled by the release plan for the highly anticipated stop-action animation version of Fantastic Mr. Fox. I don’t get why Fox Searchlight has opted for a limited release two weeks (New York gets it this Friday) prior to opening nationwide on November 25? A family movie with names like Clooney and Streep – treat as a potential blockbuster. Picturehouse/New Line did this with Kit Kittridge:...
