Holiday R&R

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you're celebrating. If you're not celebrating anything, happy unbirthday! We're taking a short break for the holidays. On account of we never do ever ever and some creative battery recharging is in order.

all the festive ladies... all the festive ladies. oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Be back on Monday, December 28th!

• Next week: Cinematic Shame, 2009 Top Ten and the kick off to the 10th Annual Film Bitch Awards. And maybe: New Year's Resolutions
• Coming in January: the return of 'Streep at 60' and hopefully 'BPFTOI' though it's always unwise to promise. Plus: more Oscar podcasting and the Sundance Film Festival. I realize that everyone else has already done their "tops of the decade" list but I have always obeyed my own inner clock. So, the 'Actors and Actresses of the Aughts' countdown -- a famous rundown here at TFE that we haven't updated since 2005 -- begins again to close out the 2000-2009 party.
