ShortCuts: 'W' FactFile, Internecine Old-School 'Star Trek' Beef; The Meta-Art Of 'Synechdoche, New York'; More...

Is it a little too late? Lionsgate have set up an impressive-looking "W" 'FactFile' to prove the elements they're satirizing in Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic are based in truth. The film has already been met with mixed-results, so it might not even matter anymore.[Lionsgate/via Spout]

Todd Field will direct the dark comedy, "Buried."The "In The Bedroom" filmmaker revealed his masterful touches of pitch-black satire in the suburban drama "Little Children," which was so subtle in its comedic touches (a Sahara desert-dry narrator just dripping with slow I.V.-like sarcasm), that the jokes in the film went over many people's head (still to this day, people claim the voice-over is terrible. Duh, that's the point! It's actually genius). [Collider]

(Further evidence that Shatner is going senile) Internecine "Star Trek" beef! William Shatner is so upset that George Takei did not invite him to his gay wedding, Shatner has taken to his website to bitch about it a blog. So heavy was the traffic on Shatner's site yesterday that the webpage went down. We're pretty sure the senile blog entry went something like this. "Great Scott, no invite? Sulu served under me for over 25-years on the U.S.S Enterprise. Is this how I am to be repaid?" Someone get this old coot a hobby or a lawn to mow. [AP]

Catherine Keener's Adele Lack in "Synecdoche, New York," is a miniaturist artist, who paints almost-infinitesimally small micro-paintings on tiny canvases. Her "work" is collected is now getting its own art opening. Of course to preserve the meta-ness of it all, they're not saying who the real artist is and the art exhibit goes under the ruse that Lack is an actual real person. High-brow meta-marketing we guess...[BoingBoing]

Sam Raimi has chosen the "Spider Man" franchise over Tom Clancy's CIA Agent 'Jack Ryan' franchise. I.e. he won't have time to direct the latter. Oh well, we never cared for those things at all and find it odd that anyone has nostalgia for these pictures. [MTV]

Is Dustin Hoffman going to get 'Drunk' with infamous director Tony Kaye for a new project? [Cinematical]

Will. I.Am sinks even lower with his ear-splitting cover of "I Like To Move It (Move It)" by Reel 2 Reel for "Madagascar 2." [ComingSoon]
