TV Squad reports on “France 24.” I was disappointed to learn it’s a news channel. I was sort of hoping for the gripping exploits of Monsieur Jacques Bauer and Le CTU.

Reading today’s xkcd comic — go ahead, read it. I’ll wait — I just have one question: What do you think a cake shaped like the Internet would look like exactly?
In response to spyderella’s post about books and libraries, qmrf writes:
What I really want is a Netflix-style queue, where I can have a few books requested for pickup every week, rather than only having the choice of requesting them *now* or else forgetting what I wanted.
In a better world, everybody would want one of these, and we’d have it.
I think this is a great idea. On the flip side of it, I’ve been thinking lately what I’d really like is the film equivalent of LibraryThing, something I could use to keep track of the movies I’ve seen, or rented, or own. Maybe it could pull cover images from the Internet Movie Database like LibraryThing pulls from Amazon…
Because I really like having an easily accessible catalog of the books I’ve read in a year. Ever since I stopped writing short reviews, I no longer have that for the movies I see.
