A clip from last year’s Academy Awards…

I think this has been in my drafts since February when the last Academy Awards took place :] Now that the next ones are slowly coming up (we’ll probably have the nominees up by the end of January or so), I guess I may as well post a reminder of last year’s ceremony ;-P
Anyway, I [...]

I rather liked him in Spread yesterday, so I watched some of his interviews - this is him on Rove and this is part one and part two of an interview he did on Jonathan Ross.

A little bit of Taylor Lautner news

The big news is that his first post-Twilight movie has been announced - it’s not good news for me and Kin as it sounds like he won’t be losing much muscle ;) He’s playing a superhero.
Also, I came across Taylor Lautner’s appearance on the the Conan O’Brien show *grin* There’s also an amusing clip of [...]

Another scene from the film has been released and it looks… interesting *grin*
Also, the New York Times did two nice features - one on Colin Firth and one on Tom Ford.

Just passing on a link :) I really liked that blog post. It’s about breaking out of a certain mindset and the eternal “WTF do I want to do with my life?!” question.

The Volturi nude scene comment that got Jamie Campbell Bower in trouble

I should probably stop watching New Moon publicity on youtube :] Anyway, this was just too hilarious… I was sort of aware that there had been some weird gossip that there was going to be a nude scene in New Moon, but I never investigated its source:

The third New Moon trailer

I think this is the first one I actually find relatively enticing, though the special effects still look appalling IMO :]
The nice thing about this trailer is that it’s not quite as choppy. The first Twilight film was as “unchoppy” as Hollywood editing gets these days and that was a lot of its charm for [...]

Free documentary films is always a good thing, so if you’re interested check out DocBoat, which is an on-line documentary film festival (this year is its first edition :)).

Tom Felton on the Harry/Draco phenomenon

Tom Felton is doing publicity at Dragoncon in Atlanta at the moment. And finally the fans there have asked what I’ve always wanted to hear ;) Kind of amusing that he’s not had that question pop up in any of the interviews I’ve seen of his before (then again I’ve never heard Daniel Radcliffe being [...]

The French in Algeria

Algeria is still a country I’d like to understand a whole lot better, but this is a very good (albeit long) video report to start with - it really explains a lot.
