Woody Allen Signs the "FREE Polanski" Petition

WOODY ALLEN: Leave him alone!  All he did was have sex with a 13-year-old!

ROMAN POLANSKI: Yeah!  I mean, it’s not like she was my stepdaughter or anything!

WOODY ALLEN: Aw, dude. Cold, bro. Cold.

This is a repost ... because I love you. There are 20 of these, and I've learned some awesome tricks from them, no joke.

TCM's Summer Under the Stars Poster Series

Much like the August film schedule that they represent, these posters  are H-O-T! I really applaud the creative use of Photoshop. Very subtle. Really nice stuff. The following swiped form the CA site.

This year, to promote the mid-June event, Hammonton, New Jersey-based One Trick Pony launched a teaser site that evoked the essence of the films. On August 1 the full Summer Under the Stars site launched, featuring 31 release posters, each representing a classic film, redesigned in the style of a modern summer blockbuster.

All 31 posters can be seen here.

Google Fast Flip

The latest from Google Labs. [Excerpted from the NY TImes.]

On Monday, Google introduced an experimental news hub called Fast Flip that allows users to view news articles from dozens of major publishers and flip through them as quickly as they would the pages of a magazine. Google will place ads around the news articles and share resulting revenue with publishers.

Fast Flip, which is based on Google News, tries to address what Google considers a major problem with news sites: they often are slow to load, and so they turn off many readers. Google, the leader in Web search services and advertising, argues that if reading news online was closer to the experience of scanning through physical newspapers or magazines, people would read more.

“Browsing news on the Web is much slower than it is in print,” said Krishna Bharat, a distinguished researcher at Google who developed Google News in 2002. “When it is fast, people will look at more news and more ads, and that’s something that publishers want to see.”

Whiteout, 0% On Rotten Tomatoes — Ouchy
