 | Definitely Maybe - Trailer 1 Ryan Reynolds stars as Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will’s story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. Will hopelessly attempts a gentler version of his story for his daughter and changes the names so Maya has to guess who is the woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will’s college sweetheart, the dependable girl next door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad’s romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it’s definitely never. Directed by: Adam Brooks Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Derek Luke, Abigail Breslin, Elizabeth Banks |

David Bolinsky on Truth and Beauty
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008This presentation delivered by medical illustrator and animator David Bolinsky is by no means new (it was posted on the TED site back in July), but I’m guessing most of you haven’t seen it yet. Even if you have seen it, David’s attitude towards his job is refreshing and worth repeat viewing. For him, animation is a means of exposing “truth and beauty” to the masses—or at least to larger numbers of people than elite groups of scientists and researchers.
He explains, “I wanted to figure out a way to help people understand truth and beauty in the biological sciences by using animation, by using pictures, by telling stories so that the things that are not necessarily evident to people can be brought forth and can be taught and can be understood.”
The impulse to explain things by using animation and “telling stories” may seem like an obvious choice for you. It’s your lifeblood, after all. You eat, drink and sleep visual storytelling. But to the rest of the world, what you do as a designer or animator can often feel like a revelation, like a gigantic light bulb suddenly illuminating an immense cavern of knowledge.
That’s a great feeling, isn’t it?
It doesn’t matter if you’re selling shoes or solving world hunger, telling stories through animation is a deeply human act, one that transcends the rational compartmentalization we often use to make sense of our world. Animation instead opts for a holistic presentation of reality—or an idealized version of reality—that resonates as much with our hearts as it does our minds.

Britney Spears’ standoff was because of deposition
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008
Britney Spears meltdown last Thursday was started because Britney felt the deposition she attended that day stripped her of time with her kids. She demanded “make-up time” which Kevin and his lawyer declined. She locked herself in the bedroom with Jayden which led to a police standoff. However, TMZ has the details of her deposition that show Britney wasn’t robbed of time:
First, the reason her depo was set for last Thursday was because she failed to show the day before. Second, Thursday's depo was supposed to begin at 9:45 AM and go until 11:45 AM. She didn't show until 11:32, so the depo lasted less than 15 minutes. We've learned she only had visitation rights that day between noon and 7 PM. The depo ended at 11:45 and her house was only 15 minutes away. So she really didn't lose any time with the kids.Well, it’s comforting to know that Britney Spears does really care about her kids and will go toe-to-toe with the police to spend time with them. Sure, maybe one of them was technically held hostage, but it’s the thought that counts. Hopefully they put this special moment in Jayden’s baby book. You know, next to all the ketchup packets.
Zahara Turns 3!
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008
There’s a birthday in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s household: daughter Zahara turns 3 today!
Pitt and Jolie (who rocked the red carpet at last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards) adopted Zahara in Ethiopia in 2005 (her name means “flower” in Swahili).
When they adopted the girl — whom they affectionately call “Z” — “she was 6 months old and not 9 lbs,” Jolie said at the time. “Her skin, you could squeeze it, it stuck together.
“It was terrifying,” Jolie added. Shortly after Brangelina took the baby under their wings, she “gained 6 lbs. … We are calling her chubby,” Jolie said in 2005. “She’s, you know, she’s just a totally different baby.”
Z’s now feistier than ever, Jolie has said. When the family welcomed daughter Shiloh in 2006, Jolie told Anderson Cooper: “Z’s a little jealous because she’s still a little girl.”
