• Hey, Factory Girl opens in two days -- in Los Angeles only. Harvey apparently thinks he can get Sienna an Oscar nom is he keeps this debacle away from the NY press. Sienna is seen above reacting to the news with something less than enthusiasm. [via MCN Indie]
• Perfume, which I haven't seen, is getting shitty reviews. The ever-astute Ed Gonzales rants at Slant: "That Jean-Baptiste takes to women so strongly would suggest that he has some sort of sex drive, but in failing to show [actor] Whishaw's cock during a crucial scene, does Tykwer, in pandering to the censors, also mean to imply that the perpetually sweaty Jean-Baptiste is either a eunuch or has never taken a whiff of his own spunk? An unlikely story."
• Matt Dentler, the king of SXSW film, has canvassed the film community and is posting their (our?) picks for the best albums of 2006 every day between now and New Year's. I'm honored to have my lineup wedged between the lists of Steven Cantor (co-director of the excellent Pixies doc loudQUIETloud) and Bob "Mr. Show" Odenkirk.
