I cannot overstate how happy I was to see the return of the NPR station - they parody public radio *so* perfectly.

I have to agree; The Social Network is pretty dang awesome. I would say it's unbelievable that it didn't win the Oscar, but then again it really isn't.

Seeing that sequence in the cinema blew my mind - those flashcuts! - but it only set me up more for the disappointment to follow, and this is coming from a HUGE Fincher fan.

It's also worth mentioning that Microsoft claims to be working on apps for Android and iOS; it's clear they're banking on the Win8 computers and Xbox hardware being the big 'hook' for the service.

People seem to forget (or, more likely, they never noticed) that Xbox Music is simply a watered-down, Xbox-ified version of Microsoft's existing Zune Pass, which, in its initial incarnation was a pretty sweet deal ($15 per month with 10 mp3 downloads - basically $5/month for unlimited streaming, and before the likes…

I myself am half Indian, and nobody in my family particularly loved this show, but we watched every episode because by God there were Indians on the television.
Pretty sure that's the same reason my father watches Parks and Rec.

Hugo made very good use of 3D, but I STRONGLY recommend you seek out a decent 3D screening (like not with those red/blue glasses) of Coraline.  I've yet to see anything that uses depth anywhere close to as well as Coraline does, and it's a good movie to boot.

It's a lyric from one of Muse's songs, so I'm guessing quite a lot.

@Broan:disqus I was with @avclub-60a2baf84055608c3271875894ad20d7:disqus  in my understanding that even though VFX-heavy films scan at 4K, most output at 2K with a few exceptions (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo being perhaps the most notable).
However, I'll totally concede my argument about film - I'd heard the 1K…

Don't be so sure about that - the majority of your digital cinema projectors resolve only 2K (2048x1080, or barely above 1080p), and even if they resolve more the studios' DCP prints don't.  And while 35mm theoretically nets 3.5K or more, the 8th or so generation prints showing at your local multiplex are barely over…

Same here - I totally missed it and was genuinely surprised to see him. Based last week's promo I figured William Bell would be making an appearance of some kind, but seeing as Nimoy is in "retirement" I figured it'd be a voice, CGI, a Muppet, or some such variation. Nice to see Leonard Nimoy in person!
