  • Heee... yup. Came across the word again in the paper. Just curious what it actually means. Seen the movie trailer of SHOPGIRL? He looks so serious for once. Even wrote the book which the movie is based on. He wrote the script too.

  • You wanna talk about unlikeliness...Liev Schreiber (yes, that Cotton Weary guy from the "Scream" movies) has just written and directed his first feature, a movie Roger Ebert *loves* a lot!

  • The title is called "Everything Is Illuminated". It stars Elijah Wood and features a really cool poster of the actor wearing a pair of reflecting shades.
