  1. Great film, great blog, but can you please consider disabling this annoying WordPress “infinite scroll”. A trailer a day means at least 365 posts a year on your homepage – and my bandwidth gone and my browser ready to crash. I can’t subscribe either, as the widgets are at the bottom of your page and I can never get to the bottom – apologies for some negativity in a sea of appreciation for your blog, but it’s a WordPress initiative that is quite unpopular – regards

    1. thanks for the heads up- I wasn’t aware of the “to infinity and beyond” scroll setting and I have now disabled it. I appreciate your sea of appreciation! Hope you come back to the drive in!

      1. Ah – 100% better – I now get your updates in my Google Reader inbox – thankyoukindly
