Rachel Dawes' arc

"But somehow, the major arc that began in the film as a real relationship between two men and a woman became the story of two men in love, with the object of their affection fading further and further into the abyss of either the cutting room floor or overlooked even initially in Nolan's script.

When the Rachel Dawes arc abruptly ends, we've had neither a scene of her kidnapping, or a funeral. Someone suggested to me that perhaps we have a stronger, and simpler, reaction to cute little blond boys, that putting a girl in harm's way would have a sexual overtone that would have muddied the waters somehow, as if the Joker's gun to the head must necessarily become a Freudian symbol. We have a long way to go in giving female characters the same credit as the males. It still seems to be okay for every film to wrap up with a damsel in distress somehow. It doesn't happen every time, but you know when it does, the female in question is going from solid human (if she managed to start that way) to flat and stereotyped".

PROMOTIONAL STILLS OF MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL AS RACHEL DAWES IN "THE DARK KNIGHT":

Jake vs TMZ cameraman

"Our cameraman was waiting for Jake to return from a scheduled lunch break from jury duty, when a frustrated Gyllenhaal walked into the door after pushing instead of pulling. We asked how he was doing ... wrong question ... Jake stomped down into our guy's shin.

Jake's now inside the courthouse, waiting to find out if he'll be selected on a jury that will hear -- get this -- a battery case".

UPDATE: 5:14 PM ET: Gyllenhaal was just excused from jury service in the battery case ...

Jake has been excused from jury

"Actor Jake Gyllenhaal has been excused from jury service in Los Angeles, after spending a day and a half waiting to hear if he'd be called to trial. The Brokeback Mountain star spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning mingling with other potential jurors and court officials as part of an upcoming misdemeanour battery trial.

He was allowed to go through court questioning to determine juror suitability in a private room, according to TMZ.com.

He learned he wouldn't be required to be part of the trial just after lunch on Wednesday". Source: www.imdb.com/news

Jake - a prospective juror

"Jake Gyllenhaal has more important things to do today than Reese Witherspoon -- he's a prospective juror in a misdemeanor battery case in an L.A. courtroom.
Jake was just told to take his hat off inside the courtroom.

UPDATE: Jake has finally been excused for the day -- but he hasn't been excused from the case.

While inside the courtroom, Jake was allowed to go through voir dire (the juror questioning process) in a private room". Source: www.tmz.com

Oscar random facts

"This year marks only the fifth time in Oscar history that the Best Picture and Best Director races matched 5 for 5. It last happened just three years ago, when Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Crash, Good Night and Good Luck, and Munich were recognized in both categories.

With Frank Langella's nod for Frost/Nixon, Richard Nixon is the first president more than one man has been Oscar-nominated for playing. (Anthony Hopkins scored a nod for Nixon in 1996.)If Heath Ledger wins the Best Supporting Actor award for The Dark Knight, he'll be only the second posthumous acting winner ever, after Network's Peter Finch in 1977. Like Ledger, Finch had earned one prior nomination, and like Ledger, it was for playing a gay man, in 1971's Sunday Bloody Sunday".
