The Australian: Mining ban campaign rejected -- THE Queensland government has rejected calls from Terri Irwin to ban mining on the Cape York land she bought to honour her late husband, Steve Irwin. Mrs Irwin has led a public campaign against bauxite miner Cape Alumina, which holds exploration permits over part of the Bertiehaugh cattle station, which she calls the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. The widow has enlisted some well known names, such as actor Russell Crowe and US legal identity Erin Brockovich, to further her cause. - Thanks, Steph
From Christine: "I just wanted to share one of the 49 books I was given with the others who are Waiting for Robin. It's called The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England, by Ian Mortimer and has been a best seller over here. Full of fascinating detail about life in Robin's time- what they wore, ate, thought- it's all here! Anyone else who prefers this kind of history over the story of the rich and powerful might also enjoy the books of Lisa Picard, which cover later eras from Elizabethan to Victorian England."
First Showing.net: Interview with Mark Strong - on Robin Hood -- Yeah, I know. Everything looks great. I mean, I've seen Sherlock Holmes — you're fantastic in that. I'm really looking forward to everything. The new Robin Hood trailer came out, and I think I saw you a couple times in it, coming out of the water, swinging a sword, so you do have a lot of good stuff coming up. --- Strong: Yeah. It's great. It's a very exciting time. Kick-Ass as well, I'm really looking forward to.
Yeah! I guess they just showed it at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon, the Ain't It Cool event, but I wasn't there. I heard everyone loved it, though. (Kick Ass) --- Strong: Oh, good. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's a really witty film. It's good fun. - Thanks, Allison

The Independent UK: Film in 2009: Cheers for sink-estate misery. Jeers for a boat that plopped -- "...In different ways, State of Play was as impressive. Beforehand, it sounded like a bad joke: a Hollywood remake of a beloved British TV series, with John Simm and David Morrissey replaced by Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. But the film, as directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) and co-written by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton, The Bourne Trilogy), was a rich, intelligent political thriller in its own right." - Thanks, Kris C

EW.com: Owen Gleiberman's 10 Best Movies of the Decade - Thanks, StephDecember by Gary Johnson
A little girl is singing for the faithful to come ye
Joyful and triumphant, a song she loves,
And also the partridge in a pear tree
And the golden rings and the turtle doves.
In the dark streets, red lights and green and blue
Where the faithful live, some joyful, some troubled,
Enduring the cold and also the flu,
Taking the garbage out and keeping the sidewalk shoveled.
Not much triumph going on here—and yet
There is much we do not understand.
And my hopes and fears are met
In this small singer holding onto my hand.
Onward we go, faithfully, into the dark
And are there angels singing overhead? Hark.Hazlitt: Twitter: Glad to be singing on the soundtrack for the new robin hood movie from ridley scott, starring russell crowe :) - Her page (and music) at MySpace - Thanks, Steph

The Score Card Review: (BOL) - "Russell Crowe as Ed Hoffman: Crowe is phenomenal as the short-sighted, ego-maniacal Hoffman. He doesn’t act, he just is, which makes you wonder if he’s really just computer generated. How can anyone be that good and still maintain their own separate, human identity? Not possible—the dude’s the Deep Blue of thespians.

Because there is no Russell news today as yet, here is a bit of information to pass along from The Writer's Almanac --- "In the northern hemisphere, today is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and the longest night. It's officially the first day of winter. It's officially the first day of winter and one of the oldest known holidays in human history. Anthropologists believe that solstice celebrations go back at least 30,000 years, before humans even began farming on a large scale. Many of the most ancient stone structures made by human beings were designed to pinpoint the precise date of the solstice. The stone circles of Stonehenge were arranged to receive the first rays of midwinter sun."

Geelong Advertiser: Hugo Weaving weaves his magic -- Back in 1991 Weaving was in a memorable Australian film called Proof directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse. Weaving played a blind photographer. One of the other actors was a very young Russell Crowe in only his second movie. Hugo got the AFI award for best actor, but Crowe's performance was also notable. "He was very keen. Because the character I was playing was blind, he was keen to read to me, because he thought that was something his character would do. So he would read great swathes from this book about the French Revolution for some reason. He'd do this every day. It was kind of testing." - Thanks, Steph

The Post Gazette:'The Next Three Days' production days in Pittsburgh come to an end - Haggis, Crowe & Co. pack up after nearly two months - Haggis' biggest challenge was finding the right actors. "Russell's one of our finest actors, isn't he? He is a man who can portray an Everyman, who can show you so much without any dialogue. A lot of the script of this film has no dialogue; we've got many, many scenes that are silent, and that all has to play in his face, so I needed an actor who could do that and who you could care for." - Thanks, Steph

Dark Horizons: Robin Hood Trailer Early Look -- "At a screening of "It's Complicated" this morning, a trailer for Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" premiered and showed an unexpected approach with the marketing in that the character name isn't mentioned until the title at the very end - the tag line and tone is gritty, realistic and promises a look at the 'man behind the legend'. In fact the trailer goes out of its way to avoid mentioning Nottingham or any character names, which unfortunately makes this look like an all too familiar pre-medieval war movie. It's a teaser so the focus is on action, but it's simply men on horses fighting either in the woods or on a grim looking beach. What does work are the leads, Blanchett with dark long hair and Crowe with his salt and pepper crew cut seem well matched. Other characters are glimpsed but pass by too quickly to get an idea of them, though the money shot of a mud and blood covered Crowe poised to fire an arrow will be enough to draw people in."

Canada.com: Look Ahead: 10 films for 2010 -- Ridley Scott's Robin Hood: Crowe's Robin, if you'll excuse the aviary, should give the role a grittier feel than some of the previous adaptations. (Even Errol Flynn, the best of the Robin Hoods, was handicapped by those ridiculous green tights.) Throw in Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian and you have a production that should be - as we all said about a previous Scott-Crowe project, Gladiator - "rousing." (May 14) - Thanks, Kris C

Related - Televisionary: Welcome to your Tuesday morning television briefing. Elizabeth Banks (Modern Family) is heading to NBC's 30 Rock next, where she will recur in "at least four episodes," according to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello. Banks will reportedly play a love interest for Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy, which begs the question of just how this will affect Julianne Moore's multiple-episode story arc this season. Is there a love triangle brewing for Jack?
A fan compares two Robin Hoods:
Sally Wiggins Blog: Crowe-ing About Pittsburgh - And last, but not least, what was most touching was his expression of how deeply he misses his wife and two young boys. His oldest son turns 6 on December 21st, and Mr. Crowe was counting the days until he can go home to them in Australia. I know some people may point to his reputation in the media. But he has been a great and appreciative friend to Pittsburgh, and Lenni and I found him to be a stand-up guy, who could not have been more gracious. - Thanks, Steph

Well, after a summer of relative quiet, things are hopping here in my little writing world. I've just taken on yet another project. I'm going to be writing the novelization for the new Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe/Cate Blanchett "Robin Hood" movie that is coming out in May 2010. It's an exciting opportunity and a rather cool project. It's also a chance to publish something new under my real name. Thing is, it's on a pretty tight time-line.
