Jones—the athlete with the heart of gold—provided a bulk of the inspiration for Oliver’s personality, while Gore’s relationship with his father, Senator Albert Gore, parlayed into Oliver’s difficulties with his own domineering father, according to statements Segal made in the 1990s, when Americans began to wonder whether Oliver Barrett IV was an alter-ego of Gore...

...Albert Frey, Donald Wexler, William F. Cody, E. Stewart Williams. The names may draw blank stares for most people, but in Palm Springs these groundbreaking architects are the hallowed icons of 1950s and '60s design. They are referred to in hushed reverence the way national founders are in other parts of the globe. (Frey, in fact, is receiving his star this year on the Palm Springs walk of fame.) These trailblazers of cool minimalism found the ideal petri dish in midcentury Palm Springs: an anything-goes locale then flush with postwar affluence, forward-thinking Californian optimism and giddy Hollywood clients...

...which the Spierigs and their design team have brought to artful life on a less than lavish budget, with cool blues and grays complementing the vampires' pallor. (You'll get another retro-future landscape next week in The Book of Eli, directed by another twin-brother team, Allen and Albert Hughes.) Made in Australia back in 2007 for not much money, the movie looks both distinctive and plausible. It's much savvier at visualizing a things-to-come world than this weekend's new romantic comedy, Leap Year, is at bringing Ireland to life, and all Leap Year's director...

...perhaps in deference to the contemporary audience's desire to see Victoria as a Queen shaping her own destiny, the movie tilts the balance of romantic power somewhat, giving us a Victoria gradually won over by Albert's attentions. He grumbles to his brother about the political nature of the courtship ("What do you say about a man who waits for a rich woman?"), but he's soon got the mushy look of a man more than ready to fulfill his duty. The suggestion is that he'll offer her an alliance of equals. Discussing the subject of husbands...
