48 Hz, Don’t It?
Film The Hobbit at high frame rates/That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates.
How I Met Your Mithrandir
The Hobbit is really just an excuse for Peter Jackson and his pals to spend a few more years hanging out in Middle Earth. I don’t see how anybody could have a problem with that.
Protestant Gadget Ethic
Making sense of the iPad mini in a world that doesn’t need it.
Richard Parker, Burning Bright
More thoughts on Life of Pi, the movie I earlier said had left me with nothing to think about.
We Sold a Zoo
Life of Pi is spectacular even for people jaded by spectacle, and it might even be meaningful to people jaded by pop spirituality.
Force Majeure
Disney buying Lucasfilm is a good thing.
Ministry of Defensiveness
Skyfall is way too pretty to have such low self-esteem.

The City That Never Blinks
Being a nerd, I have opinions about the Doctor Who mid-season finale, “The Angels Take Manhattan.”
