On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful...
bigcrush: By Haruki Murakami One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo’s fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl. Tell you the truth, she’s not that good-looking. She doesn’t stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn’t young, either - must be near thirty, not even...

Movies I Haven't Seen
theidiotking: In honor of Groundhog Day being today, and the movie of the same name (which I haven’t seen), I thought I’d compile a list of other well known/loved movies I’ve never seen. Warning: this list has been known to piss off everyone from film buffs to casual viewers. Titanic Top Gun The Godfather (pts. 1-3) The Lord of the Rings (pts. 1-3) The Rock Avatar Raging Bull Raiders of...

I learned the “inverted pyramid” writing structure in Junior High Journalism class, but until now I’ve never seen an article that included elements that decreased in relevance to a point where the relevance itself actually inverted. Seriously, read this article to the end and tell me that everything past the 2/3rds point isn’t just hastily typed bullshit. Nice going,...

The photos I've been posting all day are...
A) from the five relentlessly depressing days I spent cooped up, sick, in a shitty hotel room. B) a sort of oblique apology for the smug, self-congratulatory photos I put up a few weeks ago from the Chateau Marmont; photos I was so uneasy about that I refused to accurately caption them, but am not so uneasy about that I won’t tell you about them again, right now. C) going up mostly for my...

Query
yfiles: When will “retro” film cameras become a thing?  Smartass answer: Now that Kodak is in Chapter 11, one could argue that there is no such thing as a non-retro film camera. But more seriously, Lomo, and old Polaroids, Leicas and to a lesser extent Yashicas have always had a cult following, and (though I live in Williamsburg, so my experience is tainted) I’ve been seeing more and...

Aaron Sorkin Is Ready to Masturbate All Over Your...
From Friday on Gawker: I can’t think of a more Sisyphean mission than to try and restore America’s faith in the media with a fucking TV show. Yes, reporters used to be depicted as good guys in pop culture, and that’s because pop culture back then was naive and stupid. That was before everyone realized that the media is filled with incompetent, self-admiring dipshits who choose...

Eric Alba Blog: David Fincher on working on ROTJ... →
Something that I’ve always wondered, and you’ve mentioned ILM, what exactly was your role on ‘Return of the Jedi’? I was loading cameras. Were you around [‘Jedi’ director] Richard Marquand? I met Marquand, but I was one of 9000 people getting the movie made. I did the Chicken Walkers [a.k.a….

Aww, no more Rick Perry?
I’m gonna miss that fucking idiot. But I’ll always remember David Frum’s perfect assessment of him: “Perry is like Will Ferrell doing Bush, but on half-speed.”

Gove: Queen deserves £60m yacht for Jubilee
The Queen should be given a new royal yacht – likely to cost at least £60m – as a way to help overturn Britain’s mood of austerity, according to Cabinet minister Michael Gove. The Education Secretary suggested that greater efforts should be made to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this year to stop it being overshadowed by the Olympic Games. Oh England, you are adorable. ...

10 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FOR DESIGNERS
via the terrifyingly well-informed Eric Alba comes this listicle with a heart. My favorite bit? Right here: 3. Stop trying to save bad work The most common question I get from designers after pointing out what is wrong with their work is, “Can I save this?” You are not Jesus and comps aren’t for saving. If something isn’t working, start over. Otherwise the goal you’re working towards is saving...

commedesfuckdwn asked: It's such an easy cop-out slacker attitude that "the man" is out of touch and "cool" will never be popular - people who are dope at shit get dope jobs, Mike Mills can only make so many skate films before PEPSI hits him up, RUSKO can only do the sideshow at HARD Fest so many times before he's in a breath mint commercial... Most people think it's enough to sit...

This new tumblr hits really close to home. It’s borderline uncomfortable, but also hilarious.
