Nathaniel, here, returning to home base. I'm baaaa--aack. Did you miss me? I shan't take another day off until late October so I'm all yours again! But before we get started again, hugs and kisses and floral bouquets and firm handshakes to Leslye, Melanie, Beau, Jose, Ja and Matt for filling in for the week.
The internet moves with such speed -- except while visiting relatives in internet challenged rural Utah -- that if you're gone for a week you can totally miss seismic events. Here are some webthingies I'm so so glad people alerted me to so that I didn't miss them in my spotty connectivity travels. I'm sharing them on the off chance you missed them. No one should have to!
Revenge came out on DVD! - a magical elf in PR made sure I received mine. Thanks you! The cover of the Season 1 box is Emily in...

Provocative Danish director Lars von Trier has made some brilliant films and some very stupid comments. So it comes as no big surprise that his latest project, an innovative user-generated film competition entitled "Gesamt," comes with a caveat.
Von Trier is known for films like "Antichrist" and "Melancholia" -- works as devastatingly stunning as they are emotionally devastating. At Cannes last year, he made waves during a press conference by stating, when he said: "I understand much about [Hitler], and I sympathize with him a little bit." While the New York Times referred to the statement as "jokingly" spoken, Von Trier's upcoming project casts more doubt upon this hope.
When expressing frustrations with the co-producers of "Melancholia," von Trier relayed his feelings to the Guardian: "If you are so g*ddamn clever, why the f**k don't you do the film yourself?" Now he challenges the public to do just that,...

With either gearing up for their next outings and, in one’s case, having a fair share of future projects to choose from, it’s becoming more and more clear that Martin Scorsese and Lars von Trier will never make their own Five Obstructions. (Read here to know why this should be a huge disappointment.) In a weird way, though — i.e., I have a habit of reading too much into announcements — the latter’s newest enterprise might be a way of fulfilling this creative desire.
A press release from the Copenhagen Art Festival has announced Gesamt, von Trier‘s challenge to anybody (anybody!) with the right creative impulse: take “six great works of art,” create a film or audio recording that takes direct inspiration from it, and submit your work for this project. Director Jenle Hallund will help shape the final piece, picking the best titles and creating something.
