WRITING ALOUD AT THE ADRIENNE THEATER This series, which we mentioned during last year's run, is currently in its 9th season.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Ain't It Cool News claims to have found the final explanation for how Terry Gilliam will complete his film The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus now that the star, Heath Ledger, is dead: apparently Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will all fill in for Ledger in "a weird sort of I’m Not There-esque tribute to the actor." Huh. Well, that......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. A couple of new photos from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Stallone says there won't be any more Rambo or Rocky movies. Does he promise? In writing? Stallone was thankfully not referring to Son of Rambow, which looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Check out the poster and the trailer on The Movie Blog. Using......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Guillermo del Toro is in talks to direct both Hobbit movies. Woo hoo! Awards season continues! Cinematical was liveblogging as Sundance gave out their awards.

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. Tideland - We really wanted to label this our Most Likely to Rule this week - we really did! It's the new movie from one of our favorite directors - Terry Gilliam. It's got on of our favorite actors, Jeff Bridges, as Noah, a burnt-out, drug-addicted rock star. It's even also got Jennifer Tilly - who's not really a very good actor, but we like her......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Rumor is that Gamestop and EB will begin accepting pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii later this week. If the lines at Gamestops and EBs for the beginning of PS3 pre-ordering yesterday are any indication, you might want to get there early! Oh, and don't forget to pick up some accessories. We would be remiss if we did not present to you......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Fun mash-up time! Illustrator Dylan Meconis has drawn up all the lead characters of "Battlestar Galactica" as if they were on "The Simpsons." Awesome! (Via) And speaking of mash-ups, have you seen Star Lords yet? This time somebody's put together the two great popular epic fantasy sagas of our time - Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. At first the......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Book of Numbers is a super-cool Flash-animated website that takes the form of a book whose every page features a sort of skit, each of which is odd and silly, but also highly beautiful and amusing. We got the link from Lore Sjöberg at Table of Malcontents, who's right to compare this work to Terry Gilliam's. And we can't think of......

By Daniel J. Linehan After watching Fantastic Planet (1973) last night at the International House, Phillyist came to the conclusion that René Laloux must be the George Lucas of French intellectuals. They share a certain indifference to the boring details of narrative logic and a certain knack, if you will, for dialogue.
