WHO WON THE WALL-E POSTER?
No, I haven’t forgotten the review contest. Somebody’s going to win the WALL-E poster. I just haven’t had time to read all of the submissions. Hopefully next weekend, when I’m on vacation! Thanks to all who participated!

A MUSICIAN’S LIFE
Here’s an mp3 of Sam Phillips discussing her new album (my favorite so far this year), Don’t Do Anything.

The master of Dr. Horrible speaks!
Do you want more Dr. Horrible? Looks like you’re in luck!
Whedon, who’s working on the midseason Fox show “Dollhouse,” has a lot of plans for future “Dr. Horrible” projects. An online comic has already been released, a graphic novel is planned, and the commentary track on the DVD release will all be sung by the cast and creators. There could be a sequel as well, Harris said. “Joss has some strange, giant master plan that includes much more than a sequel,” Harris said.

FROM DELICATESSEN TO THE DIVINE COMEDY
Remember Marc Caro, director of Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children? He’s back with Dante 01:
The film offers a re-interpretation at the first cantica of the Divine Comedy, setting three circles of Dante’s Inferno in a futuristic, orbiting psychiatric hospital.

UNSEEN DVD BLOG-A-THON
Joseph Demme is hosting a blog-a-thon, and you’re invited!
So here’s how this blog-a-thon works. I want you to get, watch, and review a film that you would normally pass on. This doesn’t mean that it has to be one that you would probably hate. It could be one of those DVDs that you walk by all the time but never took a chance on it. But it could be one that you hate.
Now I don’t want people simply renting / viewing a DVD online (NetFlix, Blockbuster, etc.), but ultimately I’ll leave it up to you. Pick up a cheap DVD at WalMart, rent one from a RedBox, or buy a used DVD from Blockbuster store.
