POPSHow John Cassavetes' Shadows changed American movies forever more at clip source The movie immerses you in its world from the get-go. The opening credits scroll over a raucous rave-up in a cramped apartment, with revelers—white and black—boozing and singing along to an impromptu jam. Without a word of dialogue the demimonde is established—this is not Don Draper's Manhattan. Shadows centers on three siblings: Benny (Ben Carruthers), a brooding beatnik and unemployed trumpet player; Lelia (Lelia Goldoni), the innocent little sister who puts up a worldly front; and Hughie (Hugh Hurd), the oldest and a struggling jazz musician. The three are African-American, but only Hughie looks it—both Benny and Lelia are light-skinned enough to pass for white.

POPSWhy Best Picture Escaped “The Dark Knight” Even The Dark Knight’s rivals are among the many Hollywood insiders who found the snub unexpected. Both Milk producer Michael London and Benjamin Button producer Frank Marshall expressed genuine surprise that they wouldn’t be competing against Batman. This is undoubtedly disappointing for the fans who have tried so hard to campaign for the film—most notably the website DarkCampaign.com—but perhaps this letter from a certain screenwriter, sent to the site on Friday, can help ease the pain. http://www.darkcampaign.com/?p=197
