    IMDb Video: Bright Star

    Yay! A movie about my Keats is coming out this fall. Unfortunately, the dude they picked to play my Keats isn't much of a dreamboat. Scumps!

    Quoted: A drama based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25.

    The Ugly Truth’s Ugly Past: Vogue's Daily Coverage of Fashion, Beauty, Parties and More on Style.com

    Really interesting article from Vogue on how Hollywood can't produce a respectable and likeable career woman character...even when all women are the creative forces behind the film. The reasoning is that strong working women don't appeal to adolescent boys -- movie audiences' key demographic.

    Quoted: Predictably, it’s the lewd beast who schools the brainy, high-powered beauty. ... This would all seem like business as usual except that when The Ugly Truth opened last weekend, exasperation with such misogyny reached some sort of tipping point. Not only did critics assail the film’s sexism, they also pointedly called out by name the women behind it: actor-producer Heigl, screenwriters Nicole Eastman, Karen McCullah Lutz, and Kirsten Smith, and Sony Pictures cochairman Amy Pascal, who runs Columbia Pictures.

    KWGN -- CW2 The Deuce

    I can't wait to see Bruno. Here's a fun slideshow featuring his fashions. Why does he remind me of Derek so much? Should I have said that?

    Quoted: Sacha Baron Cohen is making his mark around the world as Bruno, a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashionista. The film, scheduled for release July 10, is all about Cohen cajoling people to let him into events and he then taping their reactions to his outlandish behavior. If fashion makes the man, we don't know what kind of man that makes Cohen, but it's fun to watch.

    Hilarious.

    Quoted: As evidenced by the wave of shrieks moving across our nation's Hot Topics, Twilight, the teen vampire romance that has captured the hearts, minds, and vocal cords of teenage girls, lonely moms, and inappropriate underwear manufacturers everywhere, opens on Friday. ....

    HBO Films: Iron Jawed Angels

    Can't wait to see this. I didn't realize that some suffragists were secretly locked up and tortured Guantanamo style. Wow. Conservatives were scared of us even back then. I don't know why this isn't airing before the election. WOMEN, YOU HAVE TO VOTE! (Unless you're voting for McCain, who doesn't give a shit about us.)

    Quoted: They had no vote, no political clout, no equal rights. But what they lacked under the law they made up for with brains, determination and courage. Oscar®-winner Hilary Swank leads an outstanding cast in the inspirational true story of two women who dared to make a stand for women's rights, and ended up shaping the future of America.

    What Katherine Heigl said about Knocked Up. Slate Magazine

    I guess I'm not the only one who thinks "Knocked Up" is sexist -- the star of the movie does too.

    Quoted: If Apatow tries, in Knocked Up, to suggest that guys need to grow up a bit to meet women's high expectations, he, like his own characters, doesn't seem to get that maybe there's a lot more to women than these expectations.
    ... If, as Heigl delicately put it, the movie is a "little sexist," that is because it is the natural product of a culture evidently sold on the notion that women are so focused on domestic mechanics that they simply don't know how to allow themselves the playful inner lives men do ...

    Elizabeth: The Golden Age reviewed. - By Dana Stevens - Slate Magazine

    I also don't care about the slab of Stilton. It's a small sacrifice for my Personal Irony Theshold to make in order to enjoy Cate Blanchett's 'white-hot glow'.

    redotted from Shiwani

    Quoted: Elizabeth : The Golden Age (Universal) is a great hulking slab of English cheese, Stilton perhaps, or Wensleydale. It's one part historical melodrama, two parts bodice-ripper ...
