Why no Asterix films in the U.S.?
Overseas, Asterix is dang near as famous as Mickey Mouse. And, while he hasn't achieved ubiquity here in the United States, you can at least find his comics adventure stories in most decent bookstores.
But have you ever seen an Asterix film? There have been 10 such things, with an 11th just out now in Europe.

French get Spider-Man "Clone Saga" omnibus
The French are a great market for odd American exports. Consider Jerry Lewis, for example. They think he's a genius!
And, although the French have produced some great comics of their own, they apparently have a taste for sketchy U.S. superhero sagas, too. Witness the publication of the much-reviled Spider-Man clone saga in a big honkin', 912-page hardcover over there. And this is just volume 1!

ABC to air "enhanced" version of Lost season 3 ender
ABC is re-airing the two-hour season 3 finale of "Lost" on Jan. 31 with added info to help viewers get up to speed for the next night's season 4 opener.
According to the network:
The enhanced version of "Lost" will include text on the lower third of the screen and will "let viewers in" on clues in the show, as well as give back story to catch new viewers up for Season Four.
With only 48 original episodes left until the final episode airs in 2010, this season truly is the beginning of the end, with the promise of rescue at hand. Jack has radioed a freighter stationed somewhere off the island. But when it's disclosed that Charlie's dying warning was that these people may not be who they say they are, the castaways are divided as to what to do. Jack is convinced that the freighter people are there to rescue them, while Locke is not. A split occurs among the survivors. Who is on the freighter? What was the significance of the flash-forward showing Jack and Kate off the island at some point in the future? What will the consequences be when the characters once again encounter Michael, who seemingly escaped the island after murdering two of the survivors? These are some of the questions "Lost" will explore during the action-packed fourth season.

Doctor Who season 4 guest stars revealed
According to a BBC press release former "ER" actress Alex Kingston and James Bond film regular Colin Salmon are among those featured in the upcoming season.
Here's the skinny:
British actors Alex Kingston and Colin Salmon have joined the stellar line-up of guest stars for the fourth series of BBC One's BAFTA award-winning drama Doctor Who.
Alex Kingston, best known for roles in ER and Moll Flanders, will appear in a Steven Moffat penned two-parter as River Song – a mysterious character who meets The Doctor on an expedition to uncover the secrets of an abandoned library.
She is joined by James Bond regular, Colin Salmon who also stars in the two episodes.
Alex Kingston comments: "I used to watch Doctor Who through the crack in the door. I was so terrified but I couldn't tear myself away. I loved it so much and I'm so delighted to be a part of the new series."
Award-winning actress Catherine Tate is reprising her role as Donna, the runaway bride, and will star as The Doctor's companion throughout the new series alongside David Tennant as The Doctor.
The first episode of the eagerly awaited new series will witness Donna tracking down The Doctor during an alien emergency in modern-day London.
The couple are destined to experience a series of wonderful adventures throughout the series including meeting one of Doctor Who's most popular aliens, The Ood, in a brand new episode, Planet Of The Ood.
Donna and The Doctor will also be travelling through time for an encounter with the legendary murder mystery novelist Agatha Christie and taking a trip to Pompeii.
Further guest stars already confirmed to appear in the new series include Sarah Lancashire, Felicity Kendal, Lesley Sharp, Georgia Moffett, Lindsey Coulson, Fenella Woolgar, Tim McInnerny, Peter Capaldi, Phil Davis and Tracey Childs.
Freema Agyeman who has played Martha Jones, The Doctor's companion throughout the critically-acclaimed third series, will also return to the show to join The Doctor and Donna mid-series.
The fourth series of Doctor Who is now in production and will hit BBC One in Spring 2008.

New Bond film titled "Quantum of Solace"
Not terribly catchy, eh?
Apparently the title comes from a collection of short stories published by James Bond creator Ian Fleming in 1960.
According to the BBC:
Producer Michael Wilson said the film would have "twice as much action" as 2006's Casino Royale, which saw Daniel Craig debut as the iconic secret agent.

NOT on DVD: Ringo Starr 1978 TV special
Officially titled "Ringo," this show is sometimes called the "Ognir Rrats" special, since it featured the former Fab playing a character by that odd name (his own moniker spelled backwards), as well as himself.
Basically an excuse for some songs and comedy bits featuring Ringo and friends, the special had a very loose "Prince and the Pauper"-type plotline, with an unhappy-with-fame Ringo swapping places with a down-and-out doppleganger.
Guests included Ringo's old pal George Harrison along with John Ritter, Angie Dickinson, Mike Douglas, Art Carney, Carrie Fisher and Vincent Price.
Very silly. Very 70s. But surely there'd be at least a small market for it on DVD?
I haven't seen it since the day it first aired nearly 30 years ago and I'm fairly certain it's awful. But, still, at that time it was fun seeing Ringo being Ringo on TV, with George along for the ride. And it'd be fun to see it (maybe just) once again.
You can probably score a cruddy bootleg DVD or videotape of the show on eBay. I also found it, in two chunks, on the Web:
