Also, an e-mail interview at LAT, "Pete Townshend Discusses Filming 'Tommy'":
With an electrifying score by Pete Townshend including "Pinball Wizard," "I'm Free" and "See Me, Feel Me" and transcendent performances, the Who's seminal 1969 rock opera "Tommy" shook the foundations of the music industry.Follow the link for Townshend's comments.
Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner ("From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China") recalls that "Tommy" was a "mesmerizing" experience for those who saw it and felt it four decades ago.
Friday evening, Lerner will be hosting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' 35th anniversary screening at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, which features a new digital cinema presentation with the original Quintaphonic soundtrack. "Tommy" was the only film ever produced in that stereophonic sound system.
Russell, who is now 82, may be known for his excessive hand on screen, but he's a man of few words when reached over the phone in England about the event. Lerner will be discussing the film with the veteran filmmaker.
When asked to explain Quintaphonic, Russell simply replied, "It was a new kind of stereo. It was rather unique."
On how he came up with the way to shoot a rock opera: "I discovered how to shoot it. It was fairly easy."
The Who's Townshend, who received an Oscar nomination for scoring and adapting the music for the film, was much more reflective in an e-mail interview ...
BRITNEY SPEARS' worried father has banned her from leaving home without wearing a bra.But check TMZ, "Britney Spears -- Free to Go Free Boobin'":
Dad JAMIE - who has legal control over all Britney's affairs - fears his troubled daughter is getting close to the brink again and has imposed a host of new rules on the Womanizer singer.
He is embarrassed by constant pictures of her nipples popping out of her clothes and has insisted she only leaves her Los Angeles home wearing the correct support.
Jamie, 57, is taking the order so seriously he has even threatened to sack one of the 28-year-old's security guards who has let her be photographed bra-less several times in recent weeks.
Jamie recently forced his daughter to dump her 38-year-old boyfriend JASON TRAWICK because he was worried she was falling back into her emotional turmoil after years of recovery.
He feared their volatile relationship was sending fragile Britney close to the edge.
A pal revealed: "Jamie's control over Britney's life is incredible. He hates the pictures of her with her nipples all over the place so he has banned her from leaving the house without a bra.
"He wants her to put across the right impression.
Despite multiple reports to the contrary ... Britney Spears' father has not given her a bra ultimatum -- in fact, we're told he laughed when he heard the story.
As the tale goes, Jamie Spears was embarrassed by pics of Brit Brit showing off her nip nips, so he imposed a "must wear a bra" rule on his famous conservatee. But sources close to the family tell us there is no such rule in place, nor has there even been any thought of one.
Hopefully this qualifies for some weekend FMJRA action from Sir Smitty!

From Gossipsauce:
The Stoning of Soraya M., based on French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam’s 1994 novel of the same name, is the devastating true story of a woman who was stoned to death in her small Iranian village when she refused to grant her abusive husband a divorce. Played with exquisite grace, depth and nobility by Mozhan Marno (Traitor), Soraya isn’t a simple victim, she is a sacrificial lamb, a testament to the inequality of women in the Islamic world, the dynamics of mob rule and the villainy intrinsic to tyranny and totalitarianism.I saw some stuff on the film earlier in the week, for example, Christian Toto's, "The Stoning of Soraya M.: An Unflinching Look at the Unconscionable." So timely!
