  Photo gallery: Dallas gets its supermoon for 2012

  Thanks Teresa. Yeah, I was starting to question my timekeeping. If not the astronomical tables.

  A genuinely sad commentary, jbarrows.

  Movie review: 1911

  Granny, I'm sure you'll enjoy the film, given your interest. And I have it on good authority that history isn't only for nerds.

  UPDATED: Movie review and cast interviews: Machine Gun Preacher

  Wickie, it looks like the DMN piggybacked on A.O. Scott's New York Times review of the film, rather than having a local critic do the writeup.

  Regardless, it's certainly an uneven narrative with an awful lot going on; and as Scott states, the filmmakers don't quite seem to know what to make of Childers' ambiguous moral code. But there it is, nonetheless.

  I think part of the problem is that this story is ongoing; Sam Childers still spends seven months out of each year in Africa, fighting what he considers to be the good fight, while Joseph Kony is also still out there doing his thing. So you can't tie up the events with a neat Hollywood ending.

  I'll say this: meeting Sam Childers in person certainly adds to the emotional impact of the film, and messes with one's objectivity.

  Dang. Guess I'd better move up the timeline on that xeriscaping project...

  See the new Footloose for free this Friday at 7 p.m.

  Confusingly, the Footloose promoters have the theater listed under "Dallas." (As if everywhere in DFW = Dallas.)

  This thing releases Friday on DVD/Blu-ray. Click here if you have a slow connection and want to become even more pissed off by the filmmakers' excesses.

  Movie review: Dolphin Tale

  Jason, there are many in the reviewing community (not to mention the population at large) who hope this whole 3D phase fizzles before too long.

  And as for the bucket kicking: I've got a million of 'em! (Rimshot!)

  Unless you're living in Antarctica, this satellite could crash on you

  NASA guy's tweet said it's final orbit did not cross the U.S. - but sounds like he may have forgotten about Hawaii.

  I'm hoping to see you there, James. Dressed as a shambling re-animated corpse, preferably.

  Movie review: Bridesmaids

  Considering the number of weddings you've been a part of this year, I should think so!

  This new report clarifies things considerably. Those 1 in 3,200 odds are that any one person anywhere in the world will be struck by satellite debris.

  That makes the odds astronomical, and means I can go back to worrying about something else entirely. (Though I'm kind of liking this satellite-repellent tin foil hat I bought on eBay.)

  That I did, Kelly. Hard not to have fun when there's beer and Oompah involved.

  To the list of math experts and NASA folks, I'll now be adding Jason Rice.

  Unlike a lightning strike, I'm guessing there won't be any hair-raising static effects before the space toilet hits you in the head.

  Hey, toddiuszho, I'm a poor English major. I leave the calculations to the math experts. (And the NASA folks.)
