Radiohead laser show<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The new Radiohead video<\/a> didn\u2019t use any cameras. It used lasers.<\/p>\n

And now, I challenge you to fill in the blank with something that would catch everyone by surprise. For their next video\u2026 Radiohead won\u2019t use any cameras. They\u2019ll use __________________.<\/p>\n

Hellboy 2, WALL-E, Kung Fu Panda, Get Smart, and My Kid Could Paint That<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My latest live-radio chat about new releases with Kim Ketola<\/strong> on \u201cAlong the Way\u201d<\/strong> is now available for download<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd a little robot will lead them\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Washington Post<\/a>, Michael Gerson praises WALL\u201a\u00c4\u00a2E<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWall-E\u201d is partly an environmental parable, but its primary point is moral. The movie argues that human beings, aided by technology, can become imprisoned by their consumption. The pursuit of the latest style leads to conformity. The pursuit of pleasure displaces the deeper enjoyments of affection and friendship. The pursuit of our rhinestone desires manages to obscure our view of the stars.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

And beyond these thoughtful paradoxes, this animated summer movie dares to raise a principle central to our humanity. People \u2014 children and others \u2014 require constant reminding that they are more than the sum of their wants. And in this task, a little robot will lead them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can Spike Jonze save Where the Wild Things Are<\/em>?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The movie\u2019s troubles continue. What a shame. I have such high hopes for it, with Jonze directing and Eggers writing it.<\/p>\n

Something has gone very wrong with \u201cWhere the Wild Things Are,\u201d the much-anticipated Spike Jonze adaptation of Maurice Sendak\u2019s classic children\u2019s book. The $80-million film, with a script by literary cool-guy Dave Eggers, was filmed largely in the second half of 2006 in Australia. It was originally slated for release this October but got pushed back to the fall of 2009. Last week it disappeared entirely from the Warner Bros. release schedule, a sign of continuing troubles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013<\/p>\n

Spacemen, Vikings, and Dragons!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The remake of Outlander<\/em> is bringing Jim Ca-Jesus<\/strong> back, and he\u2019s starring opposite John \u201cI\u2019m in Every Franchise\u201d Hurt<\/strong> and\u2026 Eomer<\/strong>! Here\u2019s the trailer for what looks like it could be the most unintentionally funny movie of the year.<\/p>\n

I wonder what this trailer will look like to those folks who think that Jim Caviezel really is some kind of prophet. Here he goes once again, lonely, persecuted, misunderstood\u2026 and saving the world!<\/p>\n

\u2013<\/p>\n

Life After \u201cKiss Me\u201d <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So good to see Sixpence back at it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Charlotte\u2019s Web-spinner<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Writer\u2019s Almanac on E.B. White<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Today is the birthday of the man who gave us Charlotte\u2019s Web<\/em>, E.B. (Elwin Brooks) White, born in Mount Vernon, New York (1899). He was a writer for many years for The New Yorker<\/em> magazine. He later moved with his wife to a farmhouse in Maine. E.B. White wrote, \u201cJust to live in the country is a full-time job. You don\u2019t have to do anything. The idle pursuit of making a living is pushed to one side, where it belongs, in favor of living itself, a task of such immediacy, variety, beauty, and excitement that one is powerless to resist its wild embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n

For all his love of the country, E.B. White is also the author of a classic about New York City, Here is New York, which people still read today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
