There are a lot of movies with “Claus” in the title. I did a quick search on the word on IMDB, and found over a hundred. There’s Candy Claus, Satan Claus and Capture Claus. Meet the Other Claus, Pause for Claus and Santa Claus’ Mistake (presumably not Mrs Claus’ favorite). One of my [...]

Over at Ibetolis’ place, he continues his look at films released since the first of the millennium, one year at a time. He’s up to 2002, now, and I’ve contributed a look at Pedro Almodóvar’s Talk to Her. Here’s a taste of the piece, along with the clip it describes. talk-to-her Benigno and a fellow nurse complete [...] Link farms. That’s what posts like this are. Links sewn in the fertile ground of the blogosphere in hopes they will sprout . . . what? Other links to your blog? More bloggy flavor on the likes of Digg and D.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s. or however you spell them? In my cynical little heart, in the blackest [...] I’ve neglected this place some lately … the Creek is starting to silt up, the banks are getting kind of scraggly, and the catfish are wondering why I don’t love them anymore.

It’s a scene we’ve seen countless times before, first in the original show and its spin-offs, and then [...] Trolling for Oscars is such hard work. First you must find a serious role.
