Marion Cotillard is so great in Inception. ¬†She leaps off the screen not unlike Heath Ledger did in The Dark Knight. ¬†It isn’t that her performance is that good, but her presence is just alive. ¬†She graces the cover of Interview Magazine and gets a Q’d by Nicole Kidman. One more after the cut. ...

(click to enlarge) Marlon Brando, age 28. Brian Williams featured these photos tonight on NBC Nightly News. You can find a dozen more on the LIFE site, here and here. By 1952, Marlon Brando was well on his way in Hollywood, with three incredible roles under his belt: his big-screen debut as a paraplegic war vet in The Men; a searing on-screen reprisal of his Broadway...
The good news is, the Glenn Close series has been renewed for two more seasons. ¬†The bad news is, it will only be on Direct-TV, a satellite service that one must sign up for. ¬†This might turn out to be a good incentive for people to switch to satellite, but it is also a drag for people who don’t want to switch, or who can’t switch for whatever reason.

I don’t speak fluent Geek, but I speak it enough to know that if David Fincher is directing it and Aaron Sorkin is writing it, you’re going to be over the moon about it. ¬†But they can play coy, if that’s how they keep their geek cred. ¬†¬†This Mashable Post points us to an answer given by Moskovitz on Quora, which¬†which...
