I got an e-mail today from the governor's office of New Mexico bragging about the fact that the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins will be filmed in New Mexico from May through August this year before a theatrical release in May 2009. I wonder if Texas was ever in the running for this project? A few years ago, I wrote an article about how Texas was trying to get more competitive with New Mexico and other states to lure movie makers. But there was a good bit of skepticism about whether Texas had the financial will to outbid other states, and I wonder if the Lone Star State was ever in the running for this film. I also wonder, speaking as a fairly hardcore Terminator fan, whether this movie will suck. The realist in me says yes, since Ahhnold will have, at best, a cameo appearance. But then again, Christian Bale is starring as John Conner, and I don't think he's made a bad action movie yet.  Comments (0) Leave comment

Wanna see Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis when she hits town Thursday to speak at the Nasher Salon? I've got your hookup. The first two people to e-mail me with OLYMPIA in the subject line will win a pair of tickets to the sold out event, which begins at 7 p.m. A screening of Moonstruck will follow. Shoot me that e-mail at sbecker@dallasnews.com. Comments (0) Leave comment
