...being covered in neighboring India. Times Now television introduced the clip with the words "Pakistani President Asif Zardari seems to be a big fan of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but his first meeting with her has critics saying that he was completely a bit out of line." Strap lines across the top of the screen blared "Pak President Out of Line with Palin," "Zardari Shocks with Sexist Remark" and "Zardari Ignores Diplomatic Propriety...
...This is the first scene of The Hurt Locker, which has its world premiere here at the Venice Film Festival before playing Sunday at the Toronto fest. No U.S. opening or distributor has been secured, but that should change once festival people strap themselves in for this dynamite drive through the Iraq occupation. (Make that war.)

(Part of it was shot in the IMAX process, which lends the action scenes a startling clarity and depth.) And for reassurance, Nolan brings back old friends from Batman Begins: Michael Caine as Bruce's butler Alfred...
...enough keep me backstage for long. So I make the most of my time. We are at Eleganza, in the midst of what appears to be the staging area of a circus tent. Half-naked men anxiously sashay through racks of designer clothing as scantily-clad women strap on cheetah-print loincloths and high heels. “The belly dancers are about to start!” someone with a clipboard and an earpiece shouts. In the midst of this whirlwind of hairspray, pomade, and styling gel, Alford stands calm. “I just think all my friends...
