'the birds and the bees, the links and the trees'

The Live Feed Dollhouse renewed??? Wheeeeee(don). I can't believe it!
IndieWire Magnolia will be releasing the two-part Chinese epic Red Cliff as... one film? Which of its 280 minutes gets the chop exactly?
People Magazine has a delicious interview soundbite article on Hugh Jackman. It's mostly about the birds and the bees talk with his son Oscar -- here's here's less sanitized Jackman audio from Australian radio (thx Maria) -- . But I love this bit on his upcoming co-star Robert Pattison.

I'm not an aficionado of hair, but his looks great.

I don't believe the pre comma denial, and I don't share the post comma sentiment.


No Sacred Cows a fine interview with Charlie Kaufman on Synecdoche New York. I'm warming to the notion of giving it a second chance. But currently I think it's a purposefully off-putting one note masturbation session. We'll see.
Heroine Content has a pointed review of Star Trek and its use of gender and race.
StarPulse on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. I'm so thrilled that Katharine Heigl is finally free of that particular ball and chain.

Finally, 3 videos of note

1. An oddly compelling, funny juxtaposition of Bambi imagery with Sir Ian McKellen discussing acting ???? For real (thx, Jeff)
2. HBO's preview for Hung, starring Thomas Jane. Doesn't HBO need a new zeitgeist hit in a big way?
3. First trailer for The Road (it's not a "thriller" per se and Charlize is barely in it, despite the marketing) but the imagery look better than when I saw the movie. I guess finishing the color corrections really makes a movie pop.
