Ron Rosenbaum: So I was down in DC this past weekend and happened to run into a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that “everyone knows” The LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate. “Everyone knows” meaning everyone in the DC mainstream media political reporting world. “Sitting on it” because the paper couldn’t decide the complex ethics of whether and when to run it.

Attorney general-nominee Michael Mukasey got support from two key Democrats this afternoon, virtually guaranteeing that the 19-member Senate Judiciary Committee will vote Tuesday to endorse his confirmation.

It looks like those hoping to get a jump on the DualShock 3 action by importing one of the controllers from Japan may be in for some disappointment, as importers are now reportedly warning that stock could be “extremely limited.” According to GamesIndustry.biz, Play Asia says that it’s already filled all its pre-orders, and it’s speculating that prices could “skyrocket” when the controller’s released on November 11st. Some retailers are apparently even being advised by suppliers to only sell the controller with the purchase of a PS3 console, although it’s not clear if anyone’s actually going that far. National Console Support, however, says it expects prices to return to normal within two to three weeks of the Japanese launch, which would still give you plenty of time to taunt your friends with it before it’s available ’round these parts.

Martin Truex Jr. turned a lap of 193.105 mph at Texas Motor Speedway to grab the top spot for the Dickies 500.

“Wristcutters” (R, 92 minutes). Patrick Fugit plays a lovelorn lad who kills himself after his girlfriend leaves him, and ends up, not in heaven or hell, but in a dusty, shabby place with all the other suicides. It’s the kind of placed where a dead hippie commune is run by Tom Waits. Not laugh out loud funny, under the circumstances, but bittersweet and sort of wistfully amusing. Rating: Two and a half stars

· 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. (Kaboom.)

· The Zombie labor talks, meanwhile, prove no more successful.

· Jerry Seinfeld demonstrates the downside of having way too much…

“The Gates” (Unrated, 98 minutes). Documentary about the struggle of more than 20 years by artists Christo and Jean-Claude to install The Gates, 2,500 metal frames flying orange curtains, in Central Park in 2005. For such a delightful idea, it certainly stirred up the crustaceans among New York bureaucrats, including a Park Board member who didn’t know a painting from a frame. Directed by Antonio Ferrara and Albert Maysles. Rating: Three stars.

“Martian Child’ (PG, 106 minutes). John Cusack plays a widower sci-fi writer who adopts a lonely little biy (Bobby Coleman) who thinks he I from Mars. Sweet, two sweet, until only Joan Cusack’s sass and vinegar lightens the lachrymosity. With Amanda Peet as the best friend, and a role for the usual beloved old dog. Rating: Two stars.
