...matters to some people. Does it matter to me? Not really. I try to take the emotion out of this. We're in the eye of the storm of this controversy. But I'm thinking 20 years in the future, this doesn't matter. You can bellyache all you want, public: it's still going to be in the record book. Get over it! It doesn't matter what you think; what matters is what is. There's not going to be an asterisk. There's going to be a number in a book. I know people...
...stage ingenue, as a voice double for another actress in the 1957 Il Grido. "We became friends," Antonioni later said. "Then things evolved. A relationship was born and a series of films." With a husky voice, a mop of blond hair and strong features that caught the camera's eye even when she wasn't center-screen, Vitti starred in five Antonioni pictures, instantly becoming their anguished or volatile face, their always human soul. She was so acute a revealer of depression, disappointment, despair, that it was a shock to see her in other Italian films as a bubbly, expert...
...pictures tell the truth? Or is the reality revealed by photographs another seductive deceiver, a trick the mind plays on the eye, like the persistence-of-vision trompe l'oeil that makes the consecutive images clicking through a movie projector at 24 frames per second seem like one continuous moving image.

And then he disappears, as Anna had in L'Avventura. This is the anticonjuror...
...Known as “the thumb in the eye of Tibet” for its northward-bulging border, the kingdom of Upper Mustang once lay along the major salt trade route from Tibet to India. It is part of the Annapurna Conservation Area, a small piece of Nepal that borders China and Tibet. The king’s title is the rather grandiose and redundant "King Mustangi Raja" followed by his name, Jigmi Palbar Bista. Although he holds less power since the constitutional monarchy began in 1951 (the central government controls most matters), he still wields a fair amount...
Mikey Weinstein is a very specific kind of gadfly. When he believes that church and state are intermingling in the military, he goes in with a sting. On Friday, he hit a bull's-eye when the Inspector General's office of the Department of Defense released a report concluding that a former Pentagon chaplain and several generals inappropriately loaned the prestige of their positions - and that of the Pentagon and the U.S. government - to make a fundraising film for a non-governmental evangelical group, the so-called Christian Embassy. The report identified Christian Embassy as affiliated with the group...
