Coriolanus

Like many English majors, I absolutely love Shakespeare. Heck, I've stolen a bunch of titles from lines in the man's plays: Through the Guts of a Beggar, In Solemn Shades of Endless Night, even Man of Wax (any guesses what play that's taken from?). And I really like the majority of the movie adaptations done on the Bard's work, especially the modern day retellings like O and Ethan Hawke's Hamlet (Bill Murray as Polonius!). And now we have a new adaptation, starring and directed by Ralph Fiennes, that looks completely badass.

Being Flynn

I was told awhile ago that a portion of this movie would be shot in the Housing Works Bookstore and that a copy of Hint Fiction, as well as various other Norton titles, would be displayed (the book the movie is based upon, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, is also a Norton title). I have no idea whether a glimpse of the anthology made the final cut, but still, the movie looks good and is no doubt worth checking out.
