If the plot isn't exactly thickening today around Scott Rudin's exit from The Reader , it's at least sustaining a low, convoluted simmer. Still nobody knows for sure the specific reasons for Rudin's move beyond the obvious, routine desire to gut Harvey Weinstein with a letter opener, but looking forward, a few new clues suggest the Oscar-season bloodbath has a while before it's drained. One awards-season wag points out the notable absence of The Reader from the Weinstein Company Web site, which may not be as insidious as it sounds; a cached version of the site dated Oct. 6 — three days before Rudin's escape — didn't feature the film either (God forbid any marketing resources be expropriated from the Zack and Miri campaign, which isn't faring so well itself ). Meanwhile, another report sketches a fraught relationship between Reader director Stephen Daldry and Weinstein's designated Reader go-between Donna Gigliotti: "[T]he entire team 'despise her,' 'won't deal with her' and 'regard her as a [Weinstein] stooge.'" And so soon after Rudin threw in the towel! Are you shocked? OK, us neither. Again, we may never know, but Rudin's motivation is likely twofold: First, cut his losses and save face with Daldry, Kate Winslet (essentially out of the picture now herself) and the survivors of the late co-producers Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack. Second, as we noted in our cluttered Rudin/Weinstein scorecard a few weeks back, the principals a ...

Ashley Grashaw, at work. David Gura/NPR   Hey, lovers! Well, here we are. My very last day at Talk, and my very last post for BOTN. Tear, sigh. It's been almost two years since I started here as a green, gullible intern, but it went by in a flash. The flashiest of flashes. So, as I bid adieu to my coworkers and fellow bloggers, I'd like to share a smattering of memories. These are the things I'll miss the most, and they're what make this place Totestally (sic) unforgettable: The sleepy-eyed, coffee-fueled morning editorial meetings -- the buzz, the peeps, and the damn interesting. Midnight dibs-ing wars and guests with fun names like Ruy Teixeira. A show about restorative justice paired with an ender on panda porn. Grumps's grumpiness, Rudin's one-liners, and Wait's cowboy boots. Sue's elusive reading glasses, Susannah's enviable fashion statements, and Barrie's morning eggs and comforting pep talks. Gwen's laugh, Richard's BlackBerry, Love's loveliness, Scott's baby pics, and Carline's "Brakkton!" Warm ale and stale popcorn on "Secret Fridays." The "in search of" all-staff emails -- ISO: native Spanish speakers; ISO: a plastic fork; ISO: a clue. Lund's triangle cheese slices, Sarah's delectable Oreo cookie cake, and Gura's checkered picnic shirt. Dalia's vodka intravenous drip, Drew's wry wit, and Neal's ability to never quite blow the post. And, of course, the Totes. Always the Totes. Thanks for all the laughs and great memories. It ...

I lied! One more post before I sign off. This is from Jon Burlingame's terrific Variety piece on two stage-to-screen scores from 2008: Shanley's "Doubt," starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams, is set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964. "I wanted to capture a feeling of that period," Shore says, "using folk instruments," including hammer dulcimer, recorder, Celtic harp and harmonium. Shore, the "Lord of the Rings" composer who was overseeing the L.A. production of his opera "The Fly" while scoring "Doubt," used only 17 musicians. "It's a really intimate story," he says during a break on the Warner Bros. recording stage. "The dialogue is fantastic, and you want to work carefully with it." And with the principal characters being a nun and a priest, the score often takes on a vaguely liturgical air. "I was trying to create an older, specific sound for the Catholic Church," he explains. There is already considerable organ and choral music in the score (traditional material, not written by Shore), so a cohesive fit was a must. "Organ music is essentially string music," Shore explains, "so I have the strings playing in these long chords. I'm working off the sound of the church. Voices are used, but just for the color, their sound; they're not singing in Latin." Shore -- who last worked with "Doubt" producer Scott Rudin on the Paul Newman film "Nobody's Fool" -- says "there are very strong thematic pieces that connect c ...
