The Wizard of Link

Oz (Cinema)
<--- Queerty the real life Sam Green objects to the way he's portrayed in Julianne Moore's new flick Savage Grace (my review). How one can object to being portrayed charmingly by none other than Hugh freakin' Dancy is beyond me, but, to each their own. It was apparently not the freeloading characterization that bothered him but the makin' it with Eddie Redmayne part.

Chicagoist has a piece up on a bank-owned cinema that my friend Goatdog programs for. Chicago readers really should be making use of this amazing repertory theater.
ONTD tons of new photos from the Amelia biopic starring Hilary Swank. Coming soon to threaten the Oscar dreams of the unrewarded and hugely deserving (I'm just guessing. Carry on)
This Recording has a bizarre and lengthy piece that lives in abject terror of Scarlett Johansson having her way with the world (or something like that. amusing)
NYT Manohla Dargis on Cyd Charisse

Kansas (Off Cinema)
Braniac Decision 2008: Hip Black Guy vs. Cranky Old White Guy
Joe My God "on sale at the Texas GOP Convention" Typical. Hopefully the Republican endorsed racism of the upcoming elections will prompt millions of saner members of the "undecided" block to choose the Democratic party. Although if you're undecided after the last 8 years, are you really sane at all?
Ping Mag 'Fundoshi' is hot in Japan. Um, can I move? All the men here have swimsuits down to their knees. ;)
E! Project Runway is "getting some work done"
