Kevin Smith’s newest film is Red State, a horror set in small town America with a villain based on the vile Fred Phelps of the odious Westboro Baptist Church. After that, your guess is as good as mine since he’s keeping the details close to his chest until after the premiere at the Sundance Film festival.
Release Date (anywhere): Hopefully this summer, if it gets picked up at Sundance.
a) Miss Marple
b) Magnum PI
c) Frank Drebin

Marvel at the dexterity. Be astonished at the fact that the guy has all ten digits by the end of this display of speed carpentry, and be sure to see it all the way to the end.

How did Penguin keep The Fitzpatrick Tapes secret in a city like Dublin?
Irish Publishing News reveals the book was “not listed in Penguin’s internal systems, on Amazon or the Book Depository in advance of publication as would be normal.”
The only sign of a forthcoming book was this page on Penguin Canada:
The book was listed as Lions And Tigers, a fake author name, James Barrington, but the correct ISBN, 9781844882601.
Irish Publishing News adds: “Penguin Ireland MD, Michael McLoughlin said High Street retailers were only informed of the forthcoming title on Friday, and even then, they were not told the title or the subject. Several agreed nonetheless to take copies into stores on Sunday morning [to coincide with The Sunday Times scoop]. Getting copies to bookstores on a Sunday morning required the staff at the publisher to deliver copies directly from their Stephen’s Green office rather than via a distribution company.”

Major Dick Winters – the inspiration for HBO’s Band Of Brothers in which he was played by Damian Lewis (above left) , died last week at the age of 92.
Even as Parkinson’s disease began taking its toll on Dick Winters, who led his “Band of Brothers” through some of World War II’s fiercest European battles, the unassuming hero refused, as always, to let his men down.
Friends accompanied him to public events, subtly clearing a path through the adoring crowds for the living legend, whose Easy Company’s achievements were documented by a book and HBO miniseries. His gait had grown unsteady, and he did not want to be seen stumbling.
Winters “didn’t want the members of Easy Company to know,” William Jackson said Monday of his longtime friend, “Right up to the end, he was the company commander.”
