...believe that is likely to last long. A senior Iraqi intelligence source says flatly that the cycle of violence will escalate, not diminish, in the weeks ahead, according to his agency's intelligence reports. Furthermore, there appears to be evidence that foreign militants, including al-Qaeda operatives, are helping direct the Iraqi resistance. Another Iraqi intelligence official claims he is "60% to 70%" sure that Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian believed to be running al-Qaeda's operations in Iraq, has been involved in the Fallujah fight...
...acting part--the closest she has come being a callback for Down with Love. So in addition to keeping the writing gig she has had for seven years at SNL, she's also working on a sitcom-development deal at NBC. And she would like to write and direct movies in which she has small parts. "My role model is Harold Ramis," she says, referring to the writer of such movies as Stripes and Ghost Busters, who also appeared in them. "I want to sneak into movies.

...tech world. But Michael Dell, 39, is having the last laugh. What started as a $1,000 investment, and was launched in his dorm room at the University of Texas, is today the world's No. 1 computer maker in market share, thanks to a relentless focus on selling direct to the consumer.

"It's not a concern of mine." So after being embittered by George Clooney's conventional direction of his script for Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, the painfully shy Kaufman (who until last month's appearance on The Charlie Rose Show didn't show his face in the media) is going to write a new script, pick his own actors and ask a studio to let him direct...
...Western video market. Along with American hits like The Sixth Sense, they have made the coolly creepy a hot genre again. After the surprise success of a U.S. remake of The Ring in 2002, three more U.S. versions of Nakata films are on the way. Nakata will direct the American version of Ring 2, due out in November. It's a rare instance of a Japanese director making a Hollywood film--an event that may fill Nakata with the anguish and wonder his own movies engender. --By Richard Corliss
