...Cate Blanchett. The original financiers dropped The Fountain when those two bowed out. (They later reunited to make Babel, in which they played virtually the same roles.) Aronofsky slimmed down the budget to $35 million, cast Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in the main roles, and made the damn movie. The whole trip, with all its frustrating detours, took six years. Then the Cannes Film Festival rejected The Fountain for its Competition selection. (You'd have to have seen the films the Festival chose to understand what an insult that was to Aronofsky.) The picture finally received its world premiere...
...insecurity blend together in seamless fashion ("you're not by any chance my ex-girlfriend are you?"/ "cause if you are, I kind of miss being with you." (Nov. 12, 4:06 p.m.)). The site is also revealing on so many levels ("what work?.../ foucault, obvi"/ hot damn. history of sexuality me all night long"/ better than discipline and punish, ya know (Nov. 13, 2:54 p.m.)) that an outsider would be advised to read it to get a true picture of life at Harvard...
...location, people still come from all over Massachusetts to look for Cremaldi’s famous pasta sauce. Luckily Petsi kept the sauce, and has managed to absorb a lot of the Cremaldi’s customer base, won over, no doubt, by the smiley staff and best damn pie around.

Think the coziness of Darwin’s with a bit of the mismatched, worn-in charm...
...reboot button.In classic 007 fashion, James Bond orders a martini. But in the new “Casino Royale,” when asked whether he would like it shaken or stirred, Bond (played by Daniel Craig) replies, “Do I look like I give a damn?” That just about sums up the new 007 adventure: grittier, tougher, and better than any other Bond film in recent memory. Pierce Brosnan’s 007 films were about how far the writers’ imaginations could stretch, how much the audience would be willing to believe...
...BEEN SAID that West's rhymes against higher education make him a dangerous role model, in which case--good. Dangerous role models are the only ones, musically speaking, worth a damn. As the survivor of a life-threatening car wreck (he recorded his vocals for the song Through the Wire with his jaw wired shut), West isn't really anticollege so much as drunk on live-life-now narcissism. He uses most of Dropout, winner of the Best Rap Album prize, to congratulate himself for doing the work it took to become a star and berating the chumps...
