			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.trailersfromhell.com/"><strong>Trailers From Hell</strong></a> may sound like a collection of the coming attractions that roll before, say, the latest romantic comedy.</p>
<p>But nay! The very cool and often very funny Web site founded by director <strong>Joe Dante</strong> is actually dedicated to showcasing the low-res ads of classic movies, "with particular emphasis on the lurid, the extreme, and the outrageous."</p>
<p><span id="more-16107"></span></p>
<p>The best part, though, is that each trailer gets its own commentary from filmmakers such as <strong>Edgar Wright</strong> and <strong>Eli Roth</strong>. The site is updated at least a few times a week, and you can also get content on your cell via the Fun Little Movies mobile channel.</p>
<p>Here's <strong>Wright</strong> on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061520/"><em>Corruption</em></a>, an apparently prime piece of thriller cheese from 1968 that he claims influenced his own brilliant <em>Grindhouse</em> trailer, <em>Don't</em>. Though I beg to differ that no woman would go see this on her own:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, before getting into this huge news docket for the weekend, let me include a gratuitous slam on President's Day Weekend. It's a waste of taxpayer money, a disgrace in these lean times, a stupid holiday right in the middle of an ugly season, and it wreaks havoc on the <em>Washington City Paper</em> editorial deadlines. Enjoy Monday off, Rest of the World. </p>
<p>Big news coming out of Daytona. I mean, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/15/AR2009021501170.html?hpid=artslot">Kenseth is a monster</a>. </p>
<p>Good feature on the front of <em>Washington Post</em> Metro today about an <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/14/AR2009021401760.html?hpid=topnews">ages-old killing in Virginia, a confession, and the aftermath</a>. I've been hearing some grumblings of late that the Metro people are having a tough time making it to A1. If so, this'd be Exhibit A in my case to the page-placement jury.  </p>
<p>NYT has a great piece on an inquiry into corruption on part of U.S. officials in Iraq just after "Mission Accomplished." Something about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/world/middleeast/15iraq.html?scp=1&#038;sq=%22pizza%20boxes%22&#038;st=cse">big wads of money in pizza boxes and the like</a>. Also, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/02/15/us/AP-Burris-Blagojevich-Donation.html?hp">this guy Burris</a>&#8211;perhaps the best approach was indeed to send him out into the rain. </p>
<p>WashTimes, with the <a href="http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/15/gibbs-stimulus-vital-nations-recovery/">unscoop that Obama administration says stimulus key to economic recovery</a>. </p>
<p><em>Examiner</em>'s <strong>Nei-man</strong> needles Fenty for nominating<a href="http://www.dcexaminer.com/local/Fenty-pulls-one-nomination&#8211;adds-two-jogging-buddies_02_15-39588347.html"> two jogging buddies</a> to posts. </p>
