...accusation of unfair play was echoed by diplomats such as U.S. Ambassador Patricia A. Butenis, who observed that the interim body "has not always conducted itself neutrally, and the nation has suffered as a result." The Awami League also accused the BNP of altering the voter roll in an attempt to rig the election. The National Democratic Institute, a U.S.-based monitoring group, found in December that the electoral roll had 13 million extra names, though most of these it put down to migrating citizens registering in two places. The BNP concedes there are problems with the roll but denies...
...predictability of recent Sundance films is a pity, because the fest used to discover original movie minds. The honor roll of those who introduced their early work there includes both the big fish of indie cinema (among them Joel and Ethan Coen, Jim Jarmusch, Kevin Smith and Darren Aronofsky) and some of the mainstream's champion swimmers (including Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino, Bryan Singer and Christopher Nolan...
...people, the area is a world unto itself. From the air, the perfect street grid makes it seem like a pocket of civic order.

Clouds of flies roll over roads and alleyways covered in the stench of rotting garbage and open sewers. Houses are so close together in some areas that Mahdi Army fighters say they can jump from roof to roof for miles, keeping watch on streets below...
What's going on here is a decoupling of the world economy from world politics, where the bad news keeps piling up like the mangled victims of terror and mayhem in Baghdad. Iran, thanks to the weakening of American power, is on a roll, and so is Syria, which less than two years ago was shown the door in Lebanon. North Korea has exploded a nuclear device, and Russia is back to its imperial ways, except that Putin is much more effective with his pipelines than was the Politburo with its tanks and missiles. Much of Africa is stuck...
...benign polyps on my vocal cords that were removed the day after I filmed the scene. It worked well for the character because he's supposed to have been up for days. That's something comic and heartbreaking: a guy who's doing these sex, drugs and rock-'n'-roll things, but he's really a wienie lawyer. Any chance of an Arrested Development movie? I had held out hope that we would do the movie version. It's [creator] Mitch Hurwitz's call. We didn't have a chance to get greedy with the show. We probably would have...
