"I've Watched Every Woody Allen Movie: Here's What... →

“One might detect in my behavior a trace of the repetition compulsion that animates Allen. In my defense, and in his, consider this: Though he returns to the same themes, I’ve found significant differences in how he treats those themes—variations not attributable to basic shifts in genre (comedy versus drama) or to fluctuations in quality. (Sadly, I must admit he is far from...

leitch: “Midnight In Paris” trailer, everybody. (Michael Sheen, in full on “30 Rock” Wesley Snipes mode. I like it.) I know I’ll see this. I’ve seen forty-something Woody Allen movies—why should I stop now? But there’s no way I’ll be able to take Owen Wilson seriously in it. I’m just going to keep waiting for him to say: “Well, everyone knows Custer...

"Top Ten Great DMX Shenanigans"- Phillip Mlynar-... →

I think I’ve posted on this before, but it’s still hilarious.As if a dude would go by “Barack Obama” if it weren’t his real name. “In the run-up to the 2008 Presidential election, most rappers were content to toe the party-line of endorsing Barack Obama in the hopes of scoring America’s first black president. Not disenfranchised DMX. In an interview...

Can People Stop Saying, "I Was a Bad Test-Taker"?

How many times have you heard some variation of: “Oh, I’m really smart and could have achieved so much more, but, you know, I’m a bad test-taker. I get nervous, and I just sort of forget it all, even though I knew it just a couple of minutes earlier! I threw up before the SAT. Seriously.” Sure, dude. Look, I’m not saying that some people aren’t crippled by...

"As Kindles Take Over, What Happens to Margin... →

“At present, annotating an e-book with a stylus is about as handy as marking up a Norton anthology with a Crayola. The amount of clicking required to two-finger type a note using the Kindle’s mini keyboard is even worse. But as technology (and perhaps our patience) improves, Anderson envisions a kind of free global bazaar of e-marginalia, so that you can read Hemingway, while also...

"The Moral Crusade Against Foodies"- B.R. Myers-... →

“Even if gourmets’ rejection of factory farms and fast food is largely motivated by their traditional elitism, it has left them, for the first time in the history of their community, feeling more moral, spiritual even, than the man on the street. Food writing reflects the change. Since the late 1990s, the guilty smirkiness that once marked its default style has been losing ever more ground...

“Do all or even most of these gags connect with a viewer under 25 who isn’t a 20th century pop culture junkie? I doubt it. Granted, some of the jokes were inside even for 1992-93 — ‘The Great Gabbo’ and the Eastern bloc cartoon ‘Worker and Parasite,’ for instance. But most weren’t. They referred to things that were current or that felt that way,...

waxandmilk: Mark Romanek Music Video Career Tribute from Del Padre Digital The art of the music video. The 90’s were some great times for some brilliant directors and future auteurs. You can say that the music video peaked when John Landis did “Thriller”, but the 90’s was its “French New Wave”. David Fincher, Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze, Tamra Davis, Jonathan Glazer, Michel Gondry, and Mark...
