The Billboard Liberation Front… Cool things.
Books
A young adult fantasy novel wins the “African Nobel Prize”. I will have to agree with the author of this article; this wouldn’t happen in Europe. Unfortunately.
This sounds like a travel-log I’d love to read.
A list of all the best books of 2008 lists.
The Living Library – what a great idea!
Movies
The mayor of Batman wants to sue Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. for the use of the town’s name… And three clips on the making of The Dark Knight. [Oh, and the score was disqualified for the Oscars. Ridiculous, if you ask me.]
Baz Luhrman changed his ending for the upcoming Australia to make it happier. Why?
We Are Wizards – a documentary about the Harry Potter Fandom.
On the opening scenes of porn movies.
Oh shit. Monopoly the board game the movie.
Politics
No comment:
TV
They want to make Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography Scar Tissue into a TV show. Uhm…
Another TV show to start: HBO wants to adapt George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series. Even cooler, David Benioff wrote the script for the pilot.
Completely Different Things
Fetus Cookie Cutters. No shitting.
Why Women Hate Men – a guy who takes apart (very, very bad) personal ads. Very funny. And you can also check out MailOrderHusbands.

“Baz Luhrman changed his ending for the upcoming Australia to make it happier. Why?”
Because he wanted to kill off Hugh Jackman and everyone got upset, I bet.
It’s an Australian national rule, you aren’t allowed to kill Hugh Jackman. Ever.
“The Prestige” equals case in point. Look at the lengths they went to there not to kill Hugh off!!
*lol*
Now that you mention it, I do see a pattern emerging…
But give me melodramatic endings done by Baz Luhrman, he’s damn good at it.
I’ve only read really bad things about Australia… I actually wonder now if it will be any good. Up till now, I thought Baz + Nicole + Hugh = damn good combo. But then Nicole botoxed herself too much and Baz caves in like that… *sigh*
