It’s almost 2015, which means the Croatoan virus did not take over the country, and that, my friend, is something to dance about. This year, I was inspired not only by music, but by the spirit of the artists creating it. Here are the 10 albums (plus a bonus) I listened to obsessively in 2014 and […]
MorePaleyFest 2014 (March 13-28) is a celebration of entertainment and television and the creativity of not only the actors, but writers, producers and creators of this holy medium we all adore. This year, the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles has hosted and will host (until the end of the week) some of our favorite […]
MoreSesame Street is no stranger to film, music and television stars in the neighborhood. I’ve always looked at the show as an American phenomenon, but it seems the British are catching on. Let’s take a look at a few British cuties who enjoy teaching, learning and interacting with the playful puppets. One of my favorite segments […]
MoreGallery Nucleus, located in Alhambra, California–just a hop, skip and a jump away from where I grew up–currently features an exhibit entitled “Little Golden Tales” which contains artwork that re-imagines modern sci-fi and television hits as classic children’s book covers. The exhibit, running at the gallery from January 18-February 9, features artwork of 30 different […]
MoreWe all know Peter Capaldi has been a Doctor Who fanboy for quite some time but did you know that the 55 year old chosen to play the 12th Doctor on the long time hit British sci-fi series Doctor Who, also has a bit of an artist’s eye? The May 1976 issue of the Doctor Who International Fan […]
MoreOver the weekend, Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in epic original film series, Star Wars, tweeted a few behind the scenes photos of the cast and crew which are, apparently, just a few out of his 1200 photo archive. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, the Seventies and tall, hairy aliens, enjoy the following […]
MoreI am a bit of a music snob. Meaning, I regularly turn my nose up at popular music, preferring instead to listen to the tunes that inspire rather than the blather played on the radio or on the charts. The thing is, in 2013, those lines were blurred, and not in a rape-y, Robin Thicke […]
MoreMusic of the Spheres Written by Russell T. Davies as the very last instance of David Tennant as Ten (until the 50th this weekend, that is), this 6 minute short features the Doctor breaking the fourth wall and communicating with the audiences of Albert Hall. Premiered at the BBC Proms of 2008, this adorable viddy […]
MoreSometimes a love story comes along that is perfect. Sometimes a film meant for children makes you cry. Pixar’s Up is both. A four-minute montage in a ninety-six minute film may be considered to be a little long. Yet the four-minute montage at the beginning of Pixar’s Up neither feels too long nor feels out of place […]
MoreSo, I am part of a lot of fandoms. So many, in fact I wasn’t keen on watching Hannibal when the show began in Spring 2013, even though I have read all the Thomas Harris Lecter novels–Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and–and saw the Anthony Hopkins film adaptations. I didn’t get much into […]
