Following the news that "Dollhouse" would be renewed, there have been speculations about where Summer Glau would go after "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" got cancelled. There seems to be a slight chance that she might reunite with Joss, who also mentions that she might end up playing a character different from River and Cameron (the comment went along the lines of: Summer wants to play a normal person for once - whatever that might mean in the context of the Dollhouse).
Willow Rosenberg tops Topless Robot's list of Pop Culture's Greatest Nerds. Having tried to end the world might have come in handy, since it's a nice twist to the "Revenge of the Nerd"-theme. [via whedonesque]
"Weeds" returns for a fifth season this Monday.
Rian Johnson, director of the film noir set in a Highschool "Brick" that everybody should have seen, is the director of "The Brothers Bloom" about two brothers who are in "the con business". Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody play the titular characters, Rachel Weisz is Penelope, a woman determined to join them in their operation. Also, Maximilian Schell, Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid in "Harry Potter") and Nora Zehetner (who played the necessary "woman in the red dress" in "Brick" - the stunningly beautiful woman with the dark past that possibly can't be trusted) co-star.
Want to see an elegant review of unlikely-to-be-mentioned-in-the-same-article movies? Anthony Lane of The New Yorker does "Terminator: Salvation", then Christian Petzold's "Jerichow" (which has a limited US release). This is how he ties the latter into the former (for which he does not find many kind words):
Singer/Songwriter Mark Everett aka E has a new record out: "Hombre Lobo" follows the 2005 release of "Blinking Lights and other Relevations", which was a devastatingly honest record about his relationship with his dad. "Hombre Lobo" features "12 Songs Of Desire".
Eels - Prizefighter
Die Zeit also reviews Everett's autobiography "Things the Grandchildren Should Know".

"If the owners of the Terminator brand ever wish to revisit the Teutonic route, traversed in such crunching style by Schwarzenegger, they should take a good look at Benno Fürmann. His footsteps might not be as large as Arnie’s, but he still cuts a forbidding figure, with blue eyes that could easily double as lasers. In a new German film, “Jerichow,” he hardly ever starts a conversation, preferring to speak only when spoken to—like a polite child, or a prisoner in the dock."PopMatters-Review of "Jerichow"
