- Miksei Bollywood-hiteistä tule suuren yleisön hittejä? – monia hyviä ajatuksia, mm. This need for inclusivity means that a typical Bollywood film is a romance, comedy, family saga and action movie rolled into one. That, Shridhar acknowledges, gives westerners the impression that they are "loosely written, meandering and don't make sense". But Indians are instinctively forgiving. "People will watch a film and know that the next 15 minutes isn't going to be for them. It might be a dance sequence, or a 'hand of God' scene that's for the grandma sat next to them. Bollywood films are more like a live circus or a variety show than a western three-act concept of a movie."

- Bollywood told to stop stealing Hollywood films – Twentieth Century Fox took the Mumbai-based BR Films to court, alleging that the Indian company's forthcoming Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai (This Guy is Fearless) was an illegal remake of the American studio's Oscar-winning crime caper My Cousin Vinny, which was released in 1992. This week BR Films agreed to pay Twentieth Century Fox about $US200,000 in an out-of-court settlement.

- A.O. Scott: Iranian Directors Like Abbas Kiarostami Foreshadowed Current Tension (NY Times) – From the early 1990s until the middle of this decade, the work of Iranian filmmakers caught the attention of critics, cinephiles and festival juries around the globe as Iran’s historically rich movie culture, largely dormant during the Islamic revolution and the long war with Iraq, entered a remarkable period of rejuvenation. Two directors in particular, Abbas Kiarostami and Mohsen Makhmalbaf, earned worldwide renown for their elusive, self-reflexive and lyrical films about Iranian life.

- Tarantino meinaa leikata Inglourious Basterdsia vielä uusiksi (Daily Beast) – And after three months of editing, he delivered a dripping-wet print to Cannes—a place he considers “Cinema Nirvana,” where “cinema matters, it’s important”—at a running time of two hours, 27 minutes: 13 minutes less than Pulp Fiction and 19 minutes less than he needed to retain final cut. Now the director can go back to America and give the movie a proper preview outside California—which was always the plan—and tweak the timing with “an audience pruning cut.”

In 2004, when O’Brien’s contract was up and other networks were aggressively wooing him, NBC promised him their flagship. “But they wanted me to wait five years to be the host of ‘The Tonight Show,’ ” O’Brien told me. “And in 2004, 2009 sounded absurdly far away. I thought that in 2009, we’d be flying around with jet packs and our dinners would be in pill form."
