Nolan Delayed 'Dark Knight Rises' for Marion
It is possible Marion Cotillard could have been replaced as
a love interest for Christian Bale's Batman in the movie, "The Dark Knight Rises"
That's because she was due with her
first child, a son named Marcel, around the beginning of filming for
the third installment in the franchise.
Director Christopher Nolan tells the
August issue of Vogue
magazine he wanted to "figure it out."
Most of her scenes were pushed back a
month and Nolan made room on set for Cotillard's family.
Still, he marveled at the Academy
Award winner's ability to do her job so soon after giving birth, calling
it "amazing to see" and describing her as "Superwoman."
Nolan and Cotillard also worked
together on the 2010 film "Inception."
The August issue of Vogue magazine
hits stores July 24.
Spring TV Season in Review Part 2: 'Dallas' and 'The Newsroom'
what a surprise. i thought 'dallas' would be rehashed trash. i'd give it a shot or two and remove from my dvr. i could not wait for aaron sorkin's 'the newsroom' after all he gave us 'the west wing'. well after a few episodes each 'dallas' stays on my dvr and 'the newsroom is history.
'the newsroom' is just plain awful. deadly dull. a series that relies on old news stories to tell it's story. what the frack happened to aaron sorkin? he made politics relevant in 'the west wing' but makes them old hat in this new series. jeff daniels and sam waterston try hard in poorly written scripts. but...it is emily mortimer and allison pill who really kill this show. two wacko female characters who can't act their way out of this mess. they suck! really they do.
i give this series an F and hope it is buried soon to put us out of our misery. oh no wait it has been renewed already oy.
on the other hand...i thought 'dallas' would be same old same old. a rehash of a hit that became painful in it's final days/seasons. WRONG! it lives. the next generation of ewings carry on a grand tradition of scheming and revenge. and jr ewing, bobby and sue ellen are all there to help them out with their less than stellar machinations. just one question. what the hell is up with larry hangman's eyebrows? another... how does linda gray stay so fabulous looking. i love her sue ellen and am thrilled she is back with a vengeance.
'dallas' gets a B+ which ain't to shabby.

Spring TV Season in Review Part 1: 'The Borgias'
i really liked season 1 of 'the borgias'. i loved season 2. it goes deep into the machinations of the sly pope alexander and his family no matter how fanciful it may be. jeremey irons shines, as usual, as the corrupt pope. however, truly shining this season is holliday granger as the headstrong lucrezia borgia. she is eye candy no more. francois arnaud as cesare, david oakes as juan and colm wore as cardinal rover also shine.
i highly recommend this series. season 1 is available for purchase or rental. season 2 has no release date yet. i assure you it will be released prior to season 3 which sadly will not air until 2013. so start catching up. you will not be sorry.
i'm going with an A+ rating
inside the borgias' with holliday granger

it won't open till 2013 but here's a peak
Nick Jonas in 'How to Succeed'
it's unusual but not unique to release a shortened album with a second cast. lloyd webber did it with betty buckley and petula clrk for 'sunset boulevard' thank god. now broadway records has release four nichjonas songs from 'how to succeed etc'. can i hope for a darren chriss release? i can dream can't i? the 4 song mp3 download is available for $4.95 on amazon. click on sidebar to purchase it.

Peter O’Toole Announces Retirement From Acting: “The Heart Has Gone Out Of Me”
i've never really known of an actor who publicly retired from his craft. generally they just stop. mostly because good roles stopped being offered. well peter o'toole has always been unique.
in his own words
Dear AllIt is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won’t come back.
My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I’ve shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.
However, it’s my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one’s stay. So I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell.
Ever
Peter O’Toole
my best recommendation is
'the lion in winter' which remains my favorite peter o'toole fim as well as my favorite katharine hepburn film. it ranks as my #1 film of all time.
