Kind of a tradition now, since the days of the WEF and Die Puny Humans. I have this idea in my head that the internet, like Soylent Green, is made out...

Yes, we're a little tardy to party, but we'd argue that this is best video you'll see this week, too. Ricardo Autobahn's mix-video song weaves together an insane number of movie and TV clips in a way that's shockingly catchy and coherent.

After the ill-judged scattershot "satire" of Borat (which hit far too many soft targets – ageing American feminists, for heaven's sake!)

American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis has a couple of projects in the works. One is his co-writing deal with Gus Van Sant, where the pair will chronicle the lives and odd, tragic suicides of artist/filmmaker couple Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake.

Until recently, Roger Avary was a respected if controversial writer/director, best known for "Rules Of Attraction" (easily the best of the Bret Easton Ellis adaptations) and for breaking up with video store-days friend Quentin Tarantino over accusations he was shafted on credit for the "Pulp Fiction" screenplay (he only got a story credit). On the geek side, Avary worked on "Silent...
