Friday is here. Have you reserved your 3-D glasses for The Phantom Menace? Maybe you should go see Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy instead. Does this image of Cumberbatch hugging Oldman not make you want to see it? Don’t you wish you could be in the middle of this hug? If you don’t we’re pretty sure you are a spy, a Sith Lord, or a meanie-face.
We’ve also go some offsite links for you:
Highlights include:
- Bear McCreary talks SF musical scores.
- Re-cutting of that Star Wars ad.
