  • Winslet on a Miniseries Version of Mildred Pierce

    Joan Crawford - Mildred PierceIt’s been announced that Kate Winslet will be in a new adaptation of James M. Cain’s novel Mildred Pierce. This time around a miniseries… possibly involving HBO, directed by the Far from Heaven (Julianne Moore) director Todd Haynes. HBO does pretty good miniseries…

    but I dunno how to feel~~~

    Before, the novel was adapted into the movie that earned Fab Joan Crawford her Oscar for Best Actress in 1945.

    I loved the movie. It came with my Joan Crawford movie collection, and it made me want to slap Veda so so SO bad~~~ I’m fascinated by the way Crawford led her life… she took it all, man. Until the end.

    They don’t make them like that any longer. Stars love to bitch now. They want their privacy, but do nothing. They love the attention, but they bitch. That’s how they make them now…

    As you may also know… I’m also fascinated by Greta Garbo. Fell in love with the both of them. Garbo gave it all up for her privacy. That’s how you do it… stars now can’t.

    Also, my dad loved the movie too. xD
    Had so much fun watching it, and wanting to slap Veda around too.

  • Kate Moennig on Three Rivers

    CBS’s new medical transplant drama (?) Three Rivers~
    hmm… dunno, don’t really have much interest on Network TV as of lately,
    but any reason to see Katherine Moenning in scrubs~~~
    LOL

    good on my book… and good on your book too, right?

    first, must admit. The character promo shot looks not like her.
    blame Photoshop~~~ good thing? the promo episode still, pretty hot.
    LOL, almost like Shane cleaned up her act and became a Dr. @_@

    Three Rivers - Still

  • Oh, eBooks!

    I think finally someone over at Cnet has caught up with what I’ve been saying…
    tsk tsk…

    the only thing missing is that distributors are probably greedy bastards~
    just saying…

    I would also buy more digital content (eBooks, etc) if it were tagged at $2USD

    Anyway… here are some of my suggestions~

    MP3Sale.ru – price-tagged by song duration.
    MovieBerry.com – with DVD, DivX HQ, DivX and iPod versions.

    any book site suggestion?

  • A post on Film Festivals

    I normally don’t post much about Film Festivals, mainly because I don’t get to see many of the films during festivals. However, I thought that I should talk about the Toronto International Film Festival, which seems like a big industry thing. I decided to do this mainly because over at theauteurs.com they’ve recently updated their menu bar options with a “festival” section, and the TIFF section (at least for this year’s edition) seems pretty complete with almost 150 film links.

    Cannes presence in the site isn’t bad either. Or the San Francisco International Film Festival…

    Here goes~

    Starting with the Venice Film Festival on September 2nd until September 12th.

    TIFF starting on September 10th until September 19th.

    and the San Sebastian International Film Festival (Spanish) on September 17th until September 26th.

    That’s some pretty heavy Film Festival posting month. Add to that the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) that starts on October 1st until October 16th – but the line-up will be announced on September 12th.

    The Lima Film Festival closes tomorrow (Saturday 15th).

    The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has added more titles for this year’s event, including screenings for Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora (with Rachel Weisz), and Natalie Portman’s Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.

    Those are added to the list of Precious, Kore-eda’s Air Doll and Bong Joon-Ho’s Mother, which I mentioned back in this post…

    and finally… I received an email of Sony Pictures announcing Michael Jackson’s “This is It” – the last rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage on HD and digital sound to be released on October 30th.

    won’t post the “press release” because it’s so long, and to be honest – pretty boring to read.
