Here’s four-year-old Lindalee Rose again, this time with a review of “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.” As before, SPOILER ALERT:

“He kissed him! Isn’t that great?” – Lindalee

Best thing about tonight’s Doctor Who episode: Amy getting to play Doctor.

Milk and Eggs: Third Helping

A four-year-old girl – the indomitable Lindalee – explains the plot of “Asylum of the Daleks” (so, serious SPOILER ALERT):

Maybe all the viewers who complain that Steven Moffat’s scripts are too complicated should contact this kid and ask her to explain it to them.

Atlas Shrunk, Part 13: If You Saw Atlas, Knees Buckling

By on September 5, 2012 3

Behold, a teaser and a trailer for Atlas Shrugged, Part II. (The teaser is described as a preview of the trailer, but it has different scenes.)

As with Part I, I wish I could find this more intriguing. Adama’s dad looks like an improvement as Francisco, but otherwise it seems just as lackluster as its predecessor – just as much a failure to capture the stylised feel of Rand’s fictional universe. Also, I found the introduction of the term “capitalism” jarring; to my recollection it never appears in the novel.
