Early Buzz: 'Deadwood,' Chewie, 'Galactica' and more
Good morning, everyone! It's dark and stormy here, but I'm still in a good mood because my film airs on Turner Classic Movies tonight! Like I said yesterday, all of the movies are worth recording; TCM has posted clips, if you want to preview before you DVR.
Also, don't forget today is Free Cone Day, so grab some ice cream when you need a pick-me-up. You also have time to enter to win Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
