...refurbished the bedrooms in his country house as torture chambers. But Leth is also a game fellow who realizes, perhaps more quickly than Von Trier, that all art has its rules and that the stranger the rules, the more fun in following and subverting them. Leth's Cuban segment is a suave and colorful abstraction; the cartoon (made in collaboration with Waking Life co-director Bob Sabiston) is a handsomely rendered restatement of his original film. He does so well that Von Trier becomes increasingly exasperated. "You made a great film," he says after seeing one segment...
...Other Day), which had run for 11 years. Two days earlier, the program had carried an exclusive interview with the widow of Chechen separatist Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, killed in Qatar last February, allegedly by two Russian agents now on trial in Doha .

You'd almost think the films had been chosen to suit the video-store tastes of this year's jury president ? Quentin Tarantino...
...First, McPherson introduced ABC's reality programming, one of the few bright spots on ABc's lineup lately. The segment began with a syrupy clip reel about ABC's returning reality shows, making the case that The Bachelor and Extreme Makeover were a benevolent entity, like UNICEF: "They make you laugh, make you cry, and make a difference." Joining the schedule next year is "Wife Swap," in which mothers from two different households change homes for a week to live with each others' families.
