Do you suffer from sore eyes, groovy foreheads, and curly hair?

Today in the New York Times there's a story about how Todd Haynes's next movie I'm Not There - the one where Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and a few other folks all play Bob Dylan at various moments throughout his life - is set to play in only four theaters across the country when it's released this November. Lucky for me one of those theaters is in L.A., 'cause I feel like I've been waiting a thousand years for I'm Not There to come out (and I can't remember whether or not I liked Todd Haynes's last movie, Far From Heaven, but Velvet Goldmine is probably the only movie in my life to obsess me more than Star Wars did when I was five - I used to watch it every single day for several months when it was first released on VHS).

So, yeah, there's this clip of I'm Not There up on YouTube, and it's got Cate Blanchett playing Dylan, plus David Cross as Allen Ginsberg (whoa). It's awkward and great and now I'm really not sure I can wait till November. And below that, just for kicks, my favorite scene from Don't Look Back.
