Film
- Mental Floss has posted a great article entitled 15 Film Production Credits Explained.
- Reports show that interest in the upcoming Wolverine film is still high despite the earlier internet leak. Evidently, the folks polled didn’t actually see the thing. Blech.
- TCM’s list of Most Influential Classic Movies includes a few sci-fi flicks but not nearly as many as I would have suspected. Where’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari?

Internet

Television
