State of Play trailer

This trailer looks like it sticks pretty closely to the original BBC series. The question remains, however, why did Russell Crowe decide to grow his hair like that to play Cal? Also, will he wear an ugly chain like in the original?

Ah Bostonian humor...

Q: How could Aimee Mann get any more awesome?
A: Add John Krasinski, Michael Cera, and John C. Reilly.

(who, btw, don't show up until parts 2, 3, and 4)

(plus Grant Lee Philips and Michael Penn for us music geeks)

Duplicity

I feel very mixed about this trailer. Will it be a poor man's "ocean's 14" as F put it? It looks like Clive at his rakish, smirking best. The fight scene between Tom Wilkinson and Paula Giamatti looks hilarious. But the choice of the lipstick jungle theme song is disconcerting.

Happy B-day Esmee! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I miss you guys and can't wait to come home.

It's a pity party and you are all invited

Sounds like la mere is gearing up for the holidays. here's an excerpt from her latest email.
"Weather horrible here, still snowing quite a lot. Ended up sleeping on a couple of folded quilts on the tub room floor because it was dark and quiet. Felt like Fodo [sic] and Sam on the slag heap in Mordor or those sevants that slept by the fireplace in the kitchen in the old days. How has it come to this? Still I am grateful to have a job at all. "

though nice use of the word slag....

Not sure that it's out yet, and it's probably the sort of thing you can just get on her site, but still, could it be more perfect for me??
