David Carradine died in Bangkok yesterday. Apparently he hung himself.

By all accounts he was a very strange person, but I enjoyed his work in Kung Fu and Death Race 2000, among other things.

I just wrote this as a comment over on my friend Steve's blog. He was writing about Monsters Vs. Aliens.

I saw it a couple of days ago with Teri and Sebastian. Then I saw "Bolt" with them on DVD tonight.

I was delighted to find one of the greatest episodes of MST3K ever over on Google video (it's not available on YouTube): Gamera vs. Guiron. The whole movie! It's downloadable in mp4 format, too.

Two weeks ago I had a couple of days off, and on one of them Teri and I used some free movie tickets to see Stardust. If you haven't seen it, it's a fantasy film based on a novella by Neil Gaiman. If you want to see it in a theatre, you're probably too late ( Read more... )
