- Porsaanreikä väkivaltapornolle – Yksinkertaistettuna kyse on siitä, että onko kukaan vastuussa siitä, että seksiliikkeessä voidaan kaupata törkeää väkivaltapornoa. Helsingin hovioikeuden mukaan sen paremmin kauppiaan kuin elokuvatarkastamon ei tarvitse välittää millaista väkivalta pornoa on vuokrattavana tai myynnissä.

- The wayward charms of Cinerama – For the most part neither Smilebox nor digital restoration has removed the peculiarities that, perhaps perversely, fascinate me about this unique format.
- David Simon on Treme (Salon) – "I have very little threshold for melodrama. Probably too low to not get kicked out of television at some point."

- Xan Brooks’s interview with the anxiously defeatist Leos Carax – Perhaps it’s the fate of all enfants-terribles to burn too brightly and then wink out.

- Charles Taylor: The Problem with Film Criticism –
- Dear Americans, please remake these average UK series – The above examples share one common characteristic – no one cares too much about them. Which is an insensitive way of saying that these shows aren't part of the national consciousness, in the same way as a Life On Mars or a Skins or an Inbetweeners (the original writers are working on the MTV version and I still fear the worst). There's no magic that's going to get lost in translation.

- Alan Partridge: 'I'm pretty gung-ho about cod liver oil' (The Guardian) – The veteran broadcaster has taken a few knocks in life. But he's back, he's in great shape – and he's 40 times the broadcaster he used to be
- Slavoj Žižek: Blofeld rides again (The Guardian) – None of this is a product of my subconscious. In fact, we're at a studio near Dublin, working on The Pervert's Guide to Ideology, a film in which the Marxist provocateur and bestselling philosopher is starring as himself, albeit in a series of loving re-creations of movie scenes. What's being mocked up now is a key moment from the 1966 classic Seconds, about an unhappy executive who assumes a new identity. Žiz?ek is in the Rock Hudson role. I have been handed a pair of glasses and am appearing as a supporting character. Or rather, the back of my head is.

- Jim Emerson kirjoittaa alastomuudesta fiktioelokuvissa – I am of two (or three) minds about this. Yes, nudity can distract you from the story when you start thinking about the performer more than the character. (On the other hand, when naked Viggo Mortensen was getting kicked and punched in that sauna in David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises," my empathy for his character's vulnerability was only intensified.) I suppose Julianne Moore's bottomless argument with her husband Matthew Modine in Robert Altman's "Short Cuts" was somewhat distracting in some ways at first, but as the scene went on it seemed more and more natural — much less absurdly artificial than, say, those damn bed scenes where the sheets are used as enormous pasties.
