Good morning and Happy Spirit Day!
Everyone everywhere is wearing purple in the name of Lgbt pride and acceptance. So if you see someone on the street today wearing a shade of violet, I advocate going up and giving them a hug. Here's Sara Gilbert over at The Talk on why she'll be wearing a purple tie today on the show.
For the record, I'm wearing purple pants today.
In the web series Squaresville's season finale, Zelda comes out to her friend Esther and things get weird.

In a new sneak peek from the season premiere of Gossip Girl, we see the beginnings of the Chuck-Blair sex scene that's been teased in previous promos, followed by Dan and Georgina in Europe, brainstorming their next move.
Clearly, she's calling the shots.
When you enlist Georgina Sparks, you play by her rules. Technology means hackers, she notes, so she has secured an old school typewriter for Dan's latest literary masterpiece. Then she promptly tells him to start typing.

Under the Tuscan Sun Blu-ray Review
26 July 2012 11:45 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
The Movie Pool checks out the Under the Tuscan Sun Blu-ray!
The Set-up
An American writer (Diane Lane) decides to radically change her life when she buys an Italian villa on a whim while on vacation.
Directed by: Audrey Wells
The Delivery
Under the Tuscan Sun is supposed to be a comedic drama about finding yourself when life throws you a curveball. Instead, it's a cautionary tale about about an impulsive, irrational woman who makes her problems worse, and eventually decides that true happiness is learning to give up and settle for what you have.
Fans of this film, and the book it is based on, will probably strongly disgree, but I found myself continually annoyed and frustrated by Frances, the lead character played by Diane Lane. Even worse, her character is based on Frances Mayes, who wrote Under the Tuscan Sun based on her real-life experiences. Watching this film, »

This Week It's all about New DVD and Blu-ray Release Dates
3 July 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
This week's new titles are a bit lackluster, but if you scroll down to the new DVD and Blu-ray release dates I'm sure some of you will be excited to see The Cabin in the Woods is on its way, but what I have my eyes on are the Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection (buy now) and the Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (buy now). That "Classic Monsters" collection seems incredibly impressive with new restorations of your favorites and, of course, who doesn't want early Indy on Blu-ray while we use the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Blu-ray as a Frisbee. Before you check out the new releases, here's some Universal Monster restoration love: God Bless America This is a film I'm actually interested in seeing, but I'm not exactly in a rush to do so.

Diane Lane (Secretariat) shines in the romance Under the Tuscan Sun, a movie we’re happy to see gets its Blu-ray debut.
In the 2003 film, Lane plays a just-divorced writer who goes on a bus tour vacation in Tuscany in an attempt to get out of a funk. Captivated by the Italian countryside, she buys a crumbling villa there hoping it will be the start of a new, better life. With an oddball crew repairing the house, Lane tries new things and new loves.
Under the Tuscan Sun was directed and written by Audrey Wells (Guinevere), based on the best-selling book by Frances Mayes.
The PG-13 movie, which was nominated for a production design Golden Globe award, also stars Sandra Oh (Rabbit Hole), Lindsay Duncan (Alice in Wonderland), Raoul Bova (The Tourist) and Vincent Riotta (Nine).

How to polish your screenplay: notes from Mahindra–Sundance Screenwriters Lab
12 April 2012 10:39 PM, PDT | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
Vikas Chandra was selected for the inaugural edition of Mumbai Mantra—Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in India for his script ‘Toothache’. He, along with seven other screenplay writers, participated in a 5 day- workshop in Lonavla. Vikas Chandra sums up his learning from the workshop in this article:
Your donkeys are not carrying enough load!
In the beginning I had no clue on how to prepare or even what to expect from the lab. Worse, I was gripped with the fear that in no time I would be exposed as a writer!
I expected to be bombarded with questions I had no answers to, at least not at that moment. With such apprehensions, I approached my first session, which was with Audrey Wells.
Thankfully – nothing of the above happened.
We started talking about the central character in my script. Why did I choose my protagonist? What do I like about her? »
