Movie Minesweeper - The Numb Left Arm And Tightness Of The Chest Edition
- A special edition DVD of Saturday Night Fever is coming. Most amusing-sounding feature? Dance Like Travolta with John Cassese. Sign me up.
- The Alliance of Women Film Journalists have compiled a Top 100 films list of their own in response to the AFI run-down from last week. Sadly, it contains some laughable inclusions (Bend it Like Beckham, The Hours, Lost in Translation, Monsoon Wedding, Nowhere in Africa, Whale Rider) but then, I suppose, so did the AFI effort.
- Rutger Hauer has suggested September as the date for a Blade Runner: Final Cut theatrical release. I heard that too - but then heard that maybe this was to change, so don't take Hauer's word as gospel just yet.
- 20 odd pages of Buffy comics are available in a new online preview right now. Not Season 8 stuff, I'm afraid, but Buffy nonetheless.
- Marion Cotillard is to be this year's recipient of the Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Breakthrough Actress of the Year Award (say that three times fast). About time too - the very latest she could be said to have broken through is in 2003, with Big Fish.
- See Quentin Tarantino indulge his foot fetish in close-up, explicit detail. Not for the faint of stomach, as they say.
- Mark Millar has been knocking about on the set of Wanted. He certainly seems impressed with James McAvoy's performance.

Millar Gets The Wanted He Wants
Over on the Millarworld forums, the man Mark Millar himself has almost drowned in excitement (read: excitement triggered pee) in anticipation for Timur Bekmambetov's upcoming film of his comic book Wanted.
"This is going to be amazing. Like I trailered yesterday, even Gill's Mum gave a big Keannu-style whoa at a sequence between a car chase and a train. I can't give much in the way of details here, but watching some of the scenes from the book come to life can only be compared to giving birth to a 100 million dollar baby. The opening sequence with The Killer plus boyfriends chasing his would-be assassins across the rooftops is just jaw-dropping. I was honestly pinching myself, worried I was bi-polar and this whole thing was just a wishful hallucination."
"March 08 cannot get here fast enough. McAvoy, Freeman and the big star they aren't telling you about until Summer plus an action director this good really is going to be something special. Three months ago my expectations were zero. Now they're enormous."
Guesses on who this big star might be in the comments below. I'll get things started with Bruce Willis.
