In the golden days of radio the great symphony orchestras of the world broadcast over short and long wave bands, creating pockets of listeners all over the globe. In isolated Japan in the 1940s the young composer Toru Takemitsu learned the ways of Western music from the Armed Forces radio network. In Maine, Charles Ives listened to the premiere of his 2nd Symphony, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, over the radio. When FM came in after the Second World War, sound quality improved, but the since the range of FM is limited to line-of-sight, those millions of listeners lucky enough to get an ionosphere bounce from New York to Vermont or Chicago to Colorado were left in silence. The advent of the long-playing record took the thrill and necessity away from live broadcasts, and radio audiences shrank. Then came the golden age of...

As I write this, the folks at CSI: NY are shooting the first episodes of the sixth season. I'm looking at Hill Harper's tweets from the set, and his slightly amusing attempts at being interactive. "You guys want me to wear glasses or not?" he asked as he prepared for a scene with Anna Belknap. Looks like he did catch Twitter fever.
That aside, though, he's got a handful of interesting thoughts about that cliffhanger ending which closed the fifth season a couple of months back. You know, stuff about whether anybody will die, or what the new character will be up to when it all begins again--pretty much the same hyperactive questions I asked before. And, since it's Hill Harper talking, well...

Oh what a wonderful time to be alive.
Our Sf, Fantasy and Horror programs aren't afraid to pile on the male beefcake in a way they used to only do with the female stuff.
I'm greatly pleases that shows like True Blood and Merlin aren't skimping on the sweaty-shirtlessness, and cappers like Superherofan.net are right there to provide us wonderful evidence of this great, golden age.
Here's Mehcad Brooks tempting in True Blood:
And here's Bradley James beaming in Merlin:
Ryan Kwanten nearly naked -- again -- in True Blood:
Stephen Moyer all pensive and pouty in True Blood:
And Colin Morgan moaning in Merlin:
Wait... I've just been informed that the Bradley James caps are from a completely unrelated film he appeared shirtless and sweaty in. I'm off to track that down.

- If you're a distributor keen on foreign language fair, developing relationships with filmmakers is primordial in having an advantage on the competition: this is a tactic that IFC films regularly employs with foreign filmmakers (several come to mind as I write this). Despite receiving inadequate support for a foreign language nomination for the Oscars, the above mentioned relationship is one reason why IFC Films have been able to grab Cristian Mungiu and fellow Romanian filmmakers (Ioana Uricaru, Hanno Hofer, Razvan Marculescu and Constantin Popescu) latest project titled Tales From the Golden Age. Unlike IFC folks, I'll be seeing the Un Certain Regard selected film this Thursday, and if I haven't declared often enough on the site – I'm a huge fan of Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (it received tons of accolades and last year's Palme d'or). I got to interview Mungiu at Tiff. Tales From The Golden Age is

- It's no big secret that Cristian Mungiu's next project was Cannes bound, yesterday's brief update Palme d’Or winner Mungiu is re-teaming with sales agent Wild Bunch for Tales From The Golden Age is a great indication that the "unconventional personal history of the late communist period in Romania told in six independent, yet sometimes connected, stories by native directors" will show up on the Croisette in a couple of months from now. When I interviewed the filmmaker [Sept.2007] he was in-between promoting 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days and in the middle of "Tales". "I wanted to make a series of short films pasted together based on the late communist times to talk about the system through the small misfortunes in daily life. Finally I discovered at some point that it was too funny as a project and for some people it might come across as a funny way that
