Ready to think about next year yet? Lou Lumenick likes Body of Lies prospects.

Kittie - from last night - that video of Grand Central Station was cool. People seemed to be getting concerned! That has to be a novelty in a place where people make an effort not to look at each other directly. Very cool.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the State of Play dvd.

I read All the Presidents Men in high school and became the newspaper's editor as a result.

Right now, Russell Crowe and Helen Mirren and a gaggle of other big names are at work on the movie State of Play, which deals with a journalist unravelling a murder case involving an elected official who also happens to be a good friend. Russell Crowe, who plays the reporter, replaced Brad Pitt, who reportedly didn't like the script. Odd, as that very script is based on one of the best ever BBC miniseries, now out on DVD.
I sat down thinking I'd watch the first hour-long episode and then do some housework. Six hours later the dust-bunnies were still busy organizing themselves into a self-sustaining city-state.
The DVD set, sadly, has only two commentaries and nothing else in the way of extras. Both commentaries, by director, writer, producer and editor, are pretty serious, craft-oriented tracks. They discuss camera work, casting, the strengths of the actors (among them John Simms from Life on Mars, James McAvoy and the inimitable Bill Nighy) and, erm, drool. A character is injured and gets his jaw wired shut and the execs were worried he was drooling too much and that said drool might put viewers off. For the record, the drool is pretty gross.
They also talk about All the President's Men and how that movie inspired them. So, be careful about showing this to impressionable kids. It is the kind of show that makes people want to be journalists and nothing good comes of that.
