A Sunday (3.19) profile by the San Francisco Chronicle‘s Vicky Haddock of controversial anti-Iraq War activist Cindy Sheehan (the mother who last year camped out in protest near President Bush’s home in Crawford, Texas, following the death of her soldier son Casey in Iraq) mentions that Sheehan had recent plans to “breakfast in Manhattan with actress Susan Sarandon, who is set to portray her in a biopic movie.” Haddock doesn’t say if it’s for cable or theatrical, but the former sounds a bit more likely.

Charles Solomon‘s N.Y. Times piece about how annoyingly verbal animated features have become refers to Chuck Jones’ Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons as an example of the non-verbal, all-visuals approach that used to rule in the old says. But hold on…Solomon says the Roadunner cartoons “took place in a silence broken only by music, sound effects and an occasional ‘beep-beep.'” Inaccurate, dawg. The Roadrunner sound is an unmistakable meep-meep. Listen to one closely. At no time do you hear the “b” consonant — it’s totally an “m” thing.

Hold up on that V disappointment stuff. The Warner Bros./ Wachowski Bros. flick had a pretty good Saturday….an encouraging 19% Friday-to-Saturday jump and a $10,028,000 haul. We seem to be looking at a likely weekend tally of $23.9 million, although WB will probably report $25 million (which is what tracking had earlier projected).
