You don't think the wife knew?
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No. If she had known, we wouldn't have had all of that stuff about how sometimes when he said "he loved her" it was true and sometimes it wasn't. Did she figure it out? I wasn't left with that impression, but I don't remember enough detail about the screaming fight they had with the daughter outside the door.

I don't remember if it was here or in meatspace, but there was conjecture that she did know, and that's what she was going to tell the mistress, and basically why she killed herself.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm certain she DID know. That her questioning was simply a way of trying to get him to acknowledge both the truth and her suffering. When that acknowledgment was not proffered...

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I think that at that point in the story, Caine's character was in on the plan. He had no air of suspicion as to why this random guy would be walking into a privately-owned theater in the dead of night. He didn't like what Angiers had done, and helped Fallon to get revenge.
That being said, I don't think he knew the whole time. Probably didn't find out until Angiers's plot was uncovered.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm amused by the imdb's daily poll today (you have to register to vote)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oscar noms are out: [link]
No major surprises there. I don't have big beef with the noms, although I wish Children of Men had received more nominations. (Editing, Cinematography and Adapted Screenplay are substantial awards, but I'd have liked Cuaron score a directing nom. Ah, well.) Plus, I have yet to see half the films nominated.
Yay, Little Miss Sunshine!
Edie Murphy is in, Jennifer Hudson is out.
An Inconvient Truth has a... Best Song nomination? Wha? Also, Al Gore can now introduce himself as "Al Gore, from the Oscar-nominated film, An Inconvenient Truth."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
An Inconvient Truth has a... Best Song nomination? Wha?
Huh. Maybe there was a wacky Al-does-Karaoke scene that I overlooked in the DVD extras.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Edie Murphy is in, Jennifer Hudson is out.
Hudson got the best supporting actress nomination according to that link.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
To give Babel a directing nom and not Children of Men is just wrong on EVERY FREAKING LEVEL IMAGINABLE.
And Borat up for Best Adapted Screenplay just makes my eyes roll.
