Just got back from the 3D theatrical showing.

It was fun. These multi doctor shows have never been great, plot wise, and I've never been terribly fond of the idea of the Time War. Great fan service, though, even with the throwaway lines. I think I was the only one to laugh at the one about the UNIT files being dated either from the 70's or 80's (one of the big continuity questions is when the 3rd Doctor's adventures take place: they were written as if they take place in the "near future", and Sarah Jane says she's from the 1980 in a 1974 episode. However, later episodes assume they take place when they aired, in the early 70's).

The two small bits before the show were also good: a Sontaran giving cinema manners, and the two doctors telling how to use 3D glasses.

All and all, not as good as The Two Doctors, but one of the better new Who's.

I recommend to all Doctor Who fans interested in the making of the show the 'About Time' series of books, which tell about the making of each episode in great detail. For US fans, it goes into the various cultural influences on the show, the other TV series it was being compared to. The newest volume tackles the first two seasons of the new Who.

Gee, someone should do a kickstarter to raise money to pay for the restorations, so Disney can just release them

It didn't in the first few Godzilla movies where he fought other monsters. As for your fear, only one Godzilla film has really been serious and poignant (the first). I could almost argue that a movie that took that tact should use a different monster.

Is there such a thing as a "comedy" book? "Humor", yes, and Hitchhiker's qualifies as that.
