...Taliban-like vigilante campaign against anything they consider un-Islamic. On July 3, that defiance erupted into a bloody clash between security forces and students when the authorities tried to cordon off the madrasah complex as part of a plan to shut it down. The next day, a shoot-on-sight curfew was in force around the area, and tensions remained high. TIME's Aryn Baker was caught in the July 3 cross-fire. Here's her account of what happened...
...hypnotized the actors in Heart of Glass. He cast Bruno S., who had spent decades in mental institutions, as the star of The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser and Stroszek. When Nicholson backed out of Fitzcarraldo, Herzog got Jason Robards, who contracted amoebic dysentery and was forced to quit the shoot. (Mick Jagger, another member of the cast, also had to leave.) Herzog wound up with Klaus Kinski, an actor so extreme and unruly, he was his own volcano. They made five films together; Herzog's memoir movie about Kinski is called My Best Fiend...
Back in the early 80s, the hit series Dallas kept the nation guessing with its season-ending cliffhanger Who Shot J.R.?

...filmmaker Todd Sims. The director of the award-winning 2005 independent movie Echoes of Innocence, Sims said any measure of control over content can be a slippery slope, but passage of an incentive bill was critical to the Texas film industry. "No one is saying you can't shoot a movie in Texas that makes Texas look bad. All we are saying is you are not going to get a grant," Sims said. And regardless of content, all filmmakers will be able to avail themselves of the state's generous sales tax exemption on production costs...
...example: AT&T's data network is slow (though it seems to be improving). It's a bummer that the camera doesn't shoot video. The glass touchscreen keyboard is kinda freaky (though if there was ever a moment for an ad campaign to license Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Put 'Em on the Glass," this is it). GPS would be nice. So would instant messaging. YouTube videos - in the little YouTube client Apple has ginned up - sound great but look lousy. And yeah, there's that content management quirk mentioned above...
