Weekend Linkpunch: I've got some serious thinking to do (and by thinking, I mean drinking)

Here's some links to whet your intellect before you drown it in beer:

• I certainly liked the Court Theatre's Carousel, but apparently not as much as Terry Teachout, who went as far to call the production, now at the Long Wharf, "the best Rodgers and Hammerstein revival [he's] ever seen." He also gives props to Chicago theater in general. It's nice to see the love, here's hoping it comes from more than just the one New York theater critic who actually reviews regional theater.
• The biggest commotion at Cannes this year has been in response to Steven Soderbergh's 2 part, 4+ hour bipoic of Che Guevara, with critical opinions raging from masterpiece to needs work to utter crap. The Los Angeles Times has a good summary of the reviews, as does Defamer.
• In Britain, where free speech standards have increasingly reached Orwellian (or Ashcroftian) standards, legislators are looking to extend the movie rating system to online video. This is a sure-fire success; after all, the same standards have prevented 13 year olds from viewing online pornography everywhere, forever.
• Further proving that theater critics can actually make a living (even if it comes after they're done being theater critics) the Butcher of Broadway is signing on to work with HBO. He'll still be writing fr the Times, but finding alternatives to exclusively working for print journalism is probably a good idea right about now.
• Despite the 2005 Dover ruling, which proved to me more than anything else that historians of science are employable, 1 in 8 high school biology teachers are still teaching intelligent design or creationism in some capacity. I'm actually surprised it's that low, but considering that it's 0% in pretty much anywhere else in the industrialized world, that's nothing to brag about.
• Finally, when you combine the powers of hockey mythology with the powers of stop-motion animation, you will almost certainly get a link on Tynan's Anger. The NHL proves its adeptness at new media once again with this video:
  
  Let's hope a Stanley Cup Finals with two major American hockey markets outdraws CSPAN reruns this year.
