Multiple Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn (right), pioneering black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, and cowboys Gene Autry, William S. Hart, Tom Mix and Roy Rogers will be featured on Us postage stamps in 2010.
Until early 2000, Katharine Hepburn held the actors’ record for most Academy Award nominations: 12. That year, Meryl Streep tied with Hepburn, and in early 2003 surpassed her. Hepburn, however, still holds the record for most wins by an actor: four in all, for Morning Glory (1932-33*), Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter (1968, tied with Barbra Streisand), and On Golden Pond (1981).
Oscar Micheaux made more than 40 films, nearly all of them between 1920 and 1940. His most celebrated efforts are the silent dramas [...]

“What the heck did I just read?” has been a common question I have been asking myself after going through the three remastered volumes of Tank Girl. After being re-released by Titan Books out of the UK with a forward from writer and co-creator Alan Martin, Tank Girl Three is the final volume of re-released original Tank Girl comics from 1992 to 1995. Tank Girl, unlike most comics, has a very loose continuity and storytelling style. Tank Girl is a strange anthology style of storytelling that allows characters and a few general themes to cross over between stories while others come and go as they please.
Some stories may cross over four issues while others stand on their own and don’t make much sense either in the process. But they have an odd charm about them that makes them fun to read. Even if it does feel like gray matter is

Variety reports Diane Keaton and Jeff Goldblum have signed on to join Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams in the Roger Michell directed comedy Morning Glory for Paramount Pictures, which is scheduled to begin filming next month in New York.
The film, which is not a remake of the 1933 Katharine Hepburn starrer that won the actress an Oscar, centers on an aspiring news producer (McAdams) who tries to save a failing morning show by getting control of its feuding anchors. Ford and Keaton will play the dueling on-air personalities. Goldblum will portray McAdams' boss.
Aline Brosh McKenna who had a hand in the upcoming musical remake Fame and also adapted the Lauren Weisberger novel "The Devil Wears Prada" penned the script.
Based on the premise of the film, if you are looking for comparisons in Michell's directorial work the most obvious film would probably be Notting Hill. The only other Michell
