The 65-year-old Harrison Ford reprises his role for “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Lucasfilm sent me this trailer (accompanied by an Indiana Jones-like whip — that’s already been appropriated elsewhere in the newsroom).

Glad that they gave Marketa Irglova time to say her piece.

Gee, so glad they found a way to use those interviews and retrospectives show producers did in case the strike was still happening.
I was mildly interested, until the fourth one. Thank God the writer’s strike is over and it wasn’t four hours of this.

Glad that someone is searching for comedy from the ground up; perhaps these comedians can feed our insatiable desire for laughs in case the writers go on strike again in the future. Many of my friends have started [...]

I have a story in today’s Eagle-Tribune about CBS’ plan to show “Dexter” tonight.
For those who don’t know, this series comes from its sister network Showtime. It’s about a Miami police forensics specialist, who is also a serial killer.
The twist: Dexter only kills really bad criminals. And the first season covers how Dexter became [...]

Touring for the first time since 2004, The Magnetic Fields played the Somerville Theatre Thursday night to promote their newly released album, Distortion, on Nonesuch Records. With lyrics like “Let this be the epitaph for my heart. Cupid put too much poison in the dart,” it made for [...]
