This is two weeks’ worth of links, on account of last weekend I was under the weather and felt like bleeeeeeh. Everything should be back on the regular schedule this week.
Speaking of which, my Re-Views column is no more, at least for now. I do enjoy revisiting movies from yesteryear, so hopefully I’ll find another place for it. Meanwhile, Eric’s Bad Movies continues forever and cannot die.
