Dougie Hayward, tailor who dressed stars of the 1960s, dies aged 73 (The Independent)

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:00:01 GMT

It was the height of the 1960s and London had it all. The most glamorous actors, the hippest pop stars, the most famous photographers – even the coolest villains. Yet apart from sharing the most swinging city on Earth, this new breed of classless celebrities had something else in common.

That scenario demonstrated a weakening economy coupled with rapidly increasing levels of inflation. Unfortunately, that's exactly what we are faced with today.

Hollywood thinks Roman Polanski should be forgiven for his crimes but wants to keep punishing Mel Gibson for his. How odd.

Woody Allen Nixes Threesome, Drives Publicist Crazy (Vulture)

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:00:05 GMT

Photo: WireImage Earlier this year, the Weinstein Company unceremoniously dumped Woody Allen's Cassandra’s Dream in 107 theaters. It bounced around screens for about a month and grossed $973,018, Woody's worst box-office result since 1987’s September . It continued Allen's box-office irrelevance in the United States; outside brief upticks for 2005’s Match Point and 2000’s Small Time Crooks , he hasn't...

His Royal Highness was in Krakow today opening the new Jewish Cultural Centre, which he helped set up and partially funded himself. But the Polish media have been more interested in the Mrs Royal Highness (she's the one on the left - photo by Mada Matyjaszek) who accompanied him. Prince Charles was in Krakow back in 2002. The story goes that when on a tour of the city he was inquisitive about

The cineastes and cinephiles (Say it with us: cinephiles! Better even than oenophiles!) at BAMcinématek, who apparently found something worthwhile about My Blueberry Nights , celebrate artsy Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai’s 20 years as a director by releasing As Tears Go By , his acclaimed first film, which offers further proof that he should cease filming in English, or at least cease casting Norah...

Synecdoche, NY is On The Map (Film School Rejects)

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:56:49 GMT

It might not have a rocket-propelled man shooting missiles at tanks or a anthropologist hero taking down Nazis with his whip, but Synecdoche, New York deserves all the buzz it can get. The movie marks the first time that genius scribe Charlie Kaufman slides into the director’s chair, and at this point, anything the man writes should be a cause for odd, special feelings welling up inside every movie...

Democrats: thank Heaven for elitist Dems! (Conservative Beach Girl)

Yes, thank Heaven for elitist Dems! Seriously, I appreciate them in that they have one thing in common with the jihadists. They have no problem letting us know how they feel about the average, hardworking American of any political persuasion - they look down upon us. In fairness, some Republican leaders feel the same way... Obama infamously remarks that we backward folk "cling to our guns and to religion"...
