Also from NYT: Joseph Stefano, scriptwriter of Psycho -- both the original, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Anthony Perkins, and the redundant remake -- and co-creator of TV's The Outer Limits, died last week at age 84.

But wait, there's more: Indiewire gets the scoop on what films will be showing this weekend at the 2006 Telluride Film Festival. Meanwhile, over at Slate: Bryan Curtis offers an amusing and insightful take on "our strange fascination with box-office numbers." And the ever-essential Green Cine Daily measures early response to Brian de Palma's The Black Dahlia at the Venice Film Festival.
