Entries on Wayne Wang.

I have two entries on the director Wayne Wang on my American Pop blog. One is called The Saga of Wayne Wang and will probably inaugurate a whole series of reviews (if not a full-on retrospective) of his work to date on my movie blog. The second is an interview with Wang himself, called Insider / Outsider: An Interview with Wayne Wang.

And on film, eyeballs, brain, I have reviews of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers and The Princess of Nebraska.

Fetch... The Comfy Chair!

From "The Michael Chabon Interview: Special Sarah Palin Edition", on TheAtlantic.com:

Jeffrey Goldberg: Isn't it great that Michael Palin's sister is running for vice president?

Michael Chabon: Jeffrey, I fear it might actually be kind of sad that I had exactly the same thought when I first heard her name. At least we can safely assume, at this point, that Governor Palin fully appreciates the deep wisdom contained in that old axiom: nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
