In the new Todd Haynes weirdo-biopic of Bob Dylan, I'm Not There, former Brooklyn mascots for attractive domesticity Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are reunited—sort of. Williams plays Coco Rivington, "the love interest of [Cate] Blanchett's [1966] Dylan"; Ledger "plays Dylan the media superstar, a charismatic, swaggering figure who parties with celebrities, wears look-at-me-but-leave-me-alone sunglasses and watches his personal life collapse under the pressures of his public persona." So poignant! [NYT]

Is last week's Village Voice cover image racist? Does Bob Dylan have scoliosis? What's with that huge Jew hooknose? You've got questions, Brooklyn Vegan has answers. Us, we're gonna sit this one out.

• More Dumenican yuks about the fall media offerings. Such as: In wake of TimesSelect, "the Times starts a program offering to pay online readers $49.95 a year to skim 'Metropolitan Diary items about the adorable stuff that Manhattan tots say and do on city buses to amuse the elderly and infirm. (Anticipated revenue stream: Google AdSense ads for Depends and Ensure.)" [Ad Age]
• Forthcoming Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese shows, sadly but unsurprisingly, that reporters can be humorless nitwits. [E&P]
• Even NYT ombudsman Barney Calame says Geraldo's right and Alessandra's wrong. Big surprise. [NYT]
• It's odd, jack, to see meathead brother Oddjack in a Q&A that does not involve him insulting anyone. [PR Week]

From Bloomberg senior editor Nick Hays' Bob Dylan-inspired resignation letter: "Matt, I quit...As the poet said, I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind. You could have done better, but I don't mind. You just kind of wasted my precious time. But don't think twice, it's alright."
