"Movie Time at the C.F.T.C. Draws Heated Debate"-... →

“Hollywood clashed with Wall Street on Wednesday at a government hearing about the potential sale of futures contracts linked to box office receipts of major motion pictures. The large studios, along with labor unions and some independent producers, were vehemently opposed to the idea, saying that the contracts amounted to gambling that could hurt the industry. Meanwhile, some exchanges and...

I’m glad I didn’t ever post my 24 think-piece from a few months ago. This video essay would have made me feel so embarrassed by comparison. Amazing. [link fixed- It doesn’t really pick up until part 2.]

“’This is real self-sabotage, like drinking heavily before a test, skipping practice or using really poor equipment,’ said Edward R. Hirt, a psychologist at Indiana University. ‘Some people do this a lot, and often it’s not clear whether they’re entirely conscious of doing it — or of its costs.’ Psychologists have studied this sort of behavior since at least 1978, when...

3/3. The freestyle is balls, but the interview is pretty revealing.

"Is Treme Still Great?"- Heather Havrilesky- Salon →

The first few episodes were good, but I’m getting pretty tired of “Hey, I’ve been there!” being the only enjoyment I get out of the show. At its worst, Treme is a mess for many of the reasons Havrilesky points out here.

As usual, Dargis spends a whole bunch of words working up to a shrug, but I love how casually she mentions that Assayas’ new Carlos the Jackal movie is 5 1/2 hours long. NBD. I’ll definitely devote a Saturday to it. I’m not going to lie.

Why Bros Get Iced, Bro - The Awl →

rickyv: I have literally never seen something take off as fast as Bros Icing Bros. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sunday night every grocery store in the country is sold out of Smirnoff Ice. Why am I so delighted by this? I used to like the fact that I’m never going to grow up. Now I’m actually angry that I think this is funny and cool.

Growing up, I was never great at anything, which caused me a lot of insecurity. I could draw well, but not as well as this other kid Brad. I was a good basketball player, but this dude Jake was a lot taller than me. I was smart, but I went to a great school with a bunch of smart kids. I’m not sure if this sort of anxiety is strange or completely normal for an eleven-year-old boy, but I felt...
