Kristen Stewart in Sunday Telegraph magazine: Drama Queen, fickle Twilight's heroine Bella
"I asked Sarah to explain why “Twilight” has become such a phenomenon with women of all ages. The mythology, she informed me, is the embodiment of the romantic ideal. The men in this ideal are quintessentially perfect — beautiful, profoundly strong, single-mindedly devoted, chivalrous protectors — and thus interchangeable.Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as Edward and Bella in "Eclipse" (2010)

Sarah is married, so she well knows (in a way most of her teen compatriots cannot) that the ideal is every bit as much an unrealistic fantasy as the existence of supernatural shapeshifters. But then again, most ideals are. For the few days one is lost in the pages of Stephanie Meyer’s books or the two hours one is absorbed in the film, anything — including a chaste, courtly love of unblemished purity — is possible. A woman never loses the dream for the perfect romance, Sarah told me. Just because it doesn’t exist doesn’t mean the desire for it ever fades". Source: www.gazette.com

"Dastan and Tamina have just the right adversarial chemistry that turns into a satisfying love story. She’s spunky, angry and determined. She voices her opinions of Dastan loudly. He gives as good as he gets, but retains a chivalrous core.

"Lavinia and Eneas are the first courtly lovers in German narrative. If one compares Heinrich von Veldeke's account in the Eneasroman with that in his French source, one sees that he has rewritten their falling in love in ways that bring the bodies of his lovers into conformity with what will turn out to be a specifically German ideal. When the French heroine looks down from a window and sees Eneas "he seemed most handsome and noble to her". When Eneas falls in love with Lavinia, Veldeke makes substantial changes. According to the French account, the hero looks up at the window and sees Lavinia: "He took note of her eyes and her mouth. At that very moment, Amor pierced him with a golden spear, leaving a painful wound, and Venus, his mother, brought to pass that the maiden became as dear to him as his own life". As they regard one another, "li uns a l'autre son cuer anble" (each steals the other's heart)
In composing the scene where Parzival first meets his wife, Wolfram von Eschenbach substracts from the account he found in Chrètien's "Conte du graal". Parzival is greeted by "the radiance of a lovely face, balm to his eyes, a bright light that emanated from the queen". -extracted from "Courtly love, the love of courtliness, and the history of sexuality" by James Alfred Schultz, published by University Of Chicago Press in 2006

Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Details Interview & photoshoot

"Get Joe rolling and it's only a matter of minutes before the conversation is ping-ponging between Buddhism and Fellini, French poets and Russian clowns. But his brightness is so shiny and childlike, as he swivels around in an ergonomic chair at his house in the Los Angeles hipster playground of Silver Lake, that even his eyelids seem to grin. Start him talking about his new movie, Inception, the mystery-shrouded summer thriller directed by Christopher Nolan, the auteur behind The Dark Knight and Memento, and the 29-year-old actor appears to hover in a Tasmanian Devil funnel of static electricity. "He never loses his sense of enthusiasm—truly boyish enthusiasm for the fun thing we're doing," Nolan says. "When you work on big movies, everybody gets jaded, myself included, and you have to remind yourself: If we were 10 years old, this would be pretty damn exciting. Joe never seems to forget that." So, yes: Joe.He started by playing a beaten-up gay hustler in 2004's Mysterious Skin, paying his own way to Kansas to visit the places where the characters lived. Then he played a Chandlerean teen gumshoe in Rian Johnson's Brick, an accident-haunted and brain-damaged bank janitor in Scott Frank's The Lookout, and a tormented Iraq War veteran in Kimberly Peirce's Stop-Loss. Last year he radiated dork charm as Tom, Zooey Deschanel's delusionally romantic officemate, in (500) Days of Summer, a role that landed him a Golden Globe nomination. Whenever the camera caught Joe in the crowd at the ceremony, he looked as though he'd geared up for the red carpet by chugging a quart of bliss juice.When Christopher Nolan and his stunt director approached Joe about the role in Inception, they told him it would hurt. "I wanted to paint a grim picture of it," Nolan says. "The worse I made it sound, the more Joe would grin." There would be pain. There would be wire work—jumping and fighting in a Fred Astaire-ishly spinning room. Joe would need to wear elbow pads, knee pads, torso pads. Avoiding injury would require relentless training. "They were basically saying, 'This will be really hard', " Joe recalls. "And I said, 'I will do anything at all, and I will never complain once.' Chris just sort of smiled and said, 'Get it in writing.'" Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a clip from Hitrecord.org "Morgan & Destiny's Eleventeenth Date - The Zeppelin Zoo"

Really, though, it's more accurate to say that his drug of choice is the Internet—in particular a website called hitRECord.org. Joe launched the site about five years ago, and it has expanded into a hive of creativity, with more than 7,000 participants collaborating to make songs, images, stories, and short films. This is what gets Joe fired up. "The most valiant thing you can do as an artist," he says, "is inspire someone else to be creative." He has instigated a spate of short films—some starring friends like Gugino and Channing Tatum—and he does a lot of the shooting and recording and mixing right here in his black-curtained cavern. Through hitRECord he wants to attract ideas from people all over the world and make original movies without a whit of Hollywood interference. A psychoanalyst might observe that the kid who kept hearing no from Hollywood has sublimated his annoyance by conjuring up an alternative salon where everyone always hears yes. "If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job," he says. " Source: www.details.com

Below, the dialogues in English language:

"Princess of Alamut. I was misled to attack your city. Forgive me, Your Highness. Let me try to make amends? It would be to our mutual advantage, that our nations be united\by a bond stronger than friendship. Marriage. Your marriage to one who is both\conqueror and savior of your city. Dastan. Royal blood or not,\he's every bit a son to our father. Every bit a brother to Garsiv and me. The true prince of Persia. Get up there,\before I take your place. Hello, princess. It's a customary to accompany\a proposal with gifts but, uh... I was surprised and unless I'm unprepared. I've nothing for you, save... that which is already yours. Walk with me, Prince Dastan. How can I trust the man who\breached the walls of my city? But I'm starting to think that I'm no longer\the same man who breached those walls. That's a short time for\the man to change so much. Perhaps. It sounds as\if you've discovered something here. - What might that be?\- The new spiritual awareness. - A destiny.\- Yes, exactly. I believe we make\our own destiny, princess. You have an unfortunate lack of curiosity. - With no doubt, one of my many flaws.\- Please don't mock me, prince. I hardly think we know each other\well enough for that, princess. But I look forward,\to the day that we do. A thread which flows through time,\combines life... From time out of mind, a call is heard,\which echoes in eternity".

Stephen Gyllenhaal to direct a political comedy: "Grassroots"

Director Stephen Gyllenhaal and Jake Gyllenhaal at the ACLU Foundation of Southern California Torch of Liberty Awards Dinner on May 19, 2003 in Beverly Hills, California.


Grassroots: First Production Meeting with Stephen Gyllenhaal


Grassroots: High Bar with Stephen Gyllenhaal

Stephen Gyllenhaal plays a Writer in Crashing (2007) (segment "Kirstin's Bathroom-Sex Fiction")

"Stephen Gyllenhaal, father of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, is better known for directing television episodes than feature films, but that may soon change thanks to his political comedy, Grassroots. The film, which is an adaptation of Phil Campbell's memoir Zioncheck for President: A True Story of Idealism and Madness in American Politics, had already assembled an interesting little cast, but its two latest members have locked it down as 'keep an eye on this one' film for me: DC Pierson (one of the founding members of Derrick Comedy, star of Mystery Team, and author of The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To) and Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, The L Word).
The Wrap (via Film School Rejects) tells us the two comedians are joining Jason Biggs, Joel David Moore, Lauren Ambrose, Tom Arnold, Cedric the Entertainer, Christopher McDonald and Emily Bergl. Biggs will play Campbell, an ex-reporter who agrees to run his eccentric friend's (Moore) campaign for a seat on the Seattle City Council. Ambrose will be filling in as Biggs' girlfriend, Smulders a skeptic of Moore's absurd campaign, Arnold as a supportive bartender, and the Entertainer as the incumbent Moore is gunning for."
