- Tonight ASIFA Hollywood hand out their Annie Awards. Three New Yorkers are represented in the animation short category. They are: John Canemaker for The Moon and The Son: An Imagined Conversation, Bill Plympton for The Fan and The Flower and John Dilworth for Life in Transition. We wish them all luck.

- It was a bit difficult watching the Werner Herzog documentary, Grizzly Man, 
on the Discovery Channel last night (repeated tonight at 8PM). There were more commercials than show, and they kept repeating the same ad for a firefighters documentary at every break. Not the way to see any film by Herzog. Any film (period!). I kind of expected it: 3hr. show / 1:42 hr movie.
- Meanwhile, on the Middleastern front, according to one report, “. . . More than 500 people, led by the extremist group al-Ghuraba, marched to the Danish embassy in Knightsbridge carrying banners calling on Muslims to “massacre” those who insult Islam . . .”
Yes, this is still over the controversy started when a Danish cartoonist drew an image of Mohammad (depicting the Prophet is verboten for many Muslims). The cartoons have been reprinted in numerous papers across Europe and as far away as New Zealand. Stones were thrown at the Danish Embassy in Gaza, and tempers are rising. The Danish cartoonists are now, reportedly, in hiding fearing for their lives. Dangerous, these cartoonists. More. (AP photo)
