Cinematicast: Okay, We Lied.

...but really, we didn't mean to. I really hoped to be able to get audio editions of our podcast out every day this week, but with Randall in LA covering Milken, and me, here in New York, busy busy busy with Tribeca, we haven't been able to make it happen. So, we're just going to give up on this week, and come back on Monday, with super magical video coverage of Tribeca, as well as your daily news update. Don't cry - it's only a couple of days away. In the meantime, use the comments on this post to tell us what you'd like to see more/less of on the podcast. We aim to serve you.

Celebrate! Two weeks in, the readers (that's you) have finally settled on a permanent name for our daily podcast. Thanks to reader Alex, our morning missive will now be called ... Cinematicast! We're actually taking today off from the podcast, as producer Randall is currently on a jet plane, but we'll be back with an audio-only version tomorrow. In the meantime, if you are Alex, contact us at karina AT cinematical DOT com so that we can appropriately thank you.

Have you voted for our new name yet? It looks like Cinematicast is kicking ass, so if you'd prefer something else, go here and make your voice heard. Otherwise, stay here and learn about Michael Moore's battle with the Smithsonian, Michael Eisner's quest for You Tube cash, and why the guy who remade Rollerball could very well be going to jail.

As part of our ever-expanding quest to bring you the most movie news most often, and with the highest possible ratio of slant to fact that we can manage, allow me to introduce our new video podcast. The idea is that it's an easy way to catch up on the previous day's movie news that you can download and watch every morning, either when you get to work or on your iPod during the commute. We're going to try to post one of these every morning, five days a week, through the end of the Tribeca Film Festival, at which point we'll evaluate the relationship between labor and demand and go from there. There's only one problem: we don't have a name. And that's where you come in: offer up your best title in the comments, and the best name we get by Friday will go on the podcast intro for good. The author of said name will also receive a credit on each podcast post, as well as a Cinematical t-shirt.
