“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” teaser trailer hits the net.

Update: Looks like the original video source has been yanked so I found another one. Quality is a bit grainy, but it works.

And, well, it doesn’t show a whole lot. Which is why it’s a teaser, but it’ll still whet the appetite a bit:

“Slingers” looks like it’ll be my new favorite TV show…

…if it ever gets made,that is. Slingers is a 60′s heist story at heart, albeit one set in the 2260′s. It’s the brainchild of Mike Sizemore and it stars Sean Pertwee — as in the son of the third Doctor from Doctor Who, Jon Pertwee — along with Adrian Bower, Tom Mison, Margo Stilley, Haruka . . . → Read More: “Slingers” looks like it’ll be my new favorite TV show…

Movies I’m Looking Forward To: “Tron Legacy” (#Blogathon)

I was a huge fan of the original Tron released back in 1982. I was 14 years old and it was a movie aimed at my people: computer geeks. Completely unrealistic fantasy nonsense and I loved every minute of it so when word came that they were doing a sequel, well, geekgasm is probably the . . . → Read More: Movies I’m Looking Forward To: “Tron Legacy” (#Blogathon)

“Better Off Ted” coming back June 23rd.

I keep meaning to mention my love for the ABC sitcom called Better Off Ted, but I keep forgetting to do so. Back in February I wrote an entry about it before it first aired in which I opined that it looked like it might be pretty funny. Yeah, that was an understatement.

Craig Ferguson lip synched his opening routine last Monday.

I love watching The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson but with having to get up so early I only get to watch it Friday nights. I suppose I could time shift it on the DVR, but that just seems… wrong. Anyway it means I missed this wonderful opening he did on Monday:

The latest trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” gets the blood pumping.

I loved the books and I’ve thought the movies have been about as good as they can be considering the amount of material they have to trim down. The next installment looks like it will not disappoint either:

Definitely looking forward to July 17th. I never managed to catch the last film while it was . . . → Read More: The latest trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” gets the blood pumping.

Russel T. Davies and David Tennant on leaving “Doctor Who.”

The Times Online has an interview with Russel T. Davies and David Tennant on their decision to leave Doctor Who this year. It’s not a particularly long or revealing interview, but one bit that stood out for me was their commenting on how the show’s revival made it cool to be a fan again:

Siskel and Ebert’s review of “A Christmas Story” from 1983.

This is one of those annual holiday classics that, surprisingly enough, I’ve never seen the entirety of in one sitting. Considering how ofter A Christmas Story runs during the holiday—Channel TBS runs a 24 hour marathon of the movie starting Christmas Eve through Christmas Day—it’s entirely possible I’ve seen the entire thing in bits and . . . → Read More: Siskel and Ebert’s review of “A Christmas Story” from 1983.

Games I’m looking forward to: Ghostbusters: The Video Game

I loved the movies, even if the sequel wasn’t as good as the original, and I loved playing the first video game on my Commodore 64. So how could I not be looking forward to a modern-day update that was co-written and voice acted by the original cast?
