Hollywood Meetings I Wish I Had Transcripts Of
Transcript #1: The meeting where Zack Snyder’s agent negotiated the deal getting “From the Visionary Director of 300” onto every piece of promotion for Watchmen.
An agent, mid-40s, sits in a plush conference room with two executives at Warner Bros.
Agent: Alright, gentlemen, I think we have a deal.
(handshakes are exchanged all around)
Agent: …with the exception of one...

The Media is Thriving
mundy:Reblogged from Rick Webb:
So, I’ve been following The Media is Dying twitter feed for a while.
Most of my thinking, however, has been trending towards the fact that this is all being blown out of proportion, and the media is not, in fact, dying. In fact, the more I look at things, the more I realize that the story’s not being told correctly. I just don’t buy it.
I don’t buy that the...

Oprah is Dead
When Oprah dies, the world, bereft of one of it’s most charismatic leaders, descends into anarchy and chaos. A solitary traveler attempts to put the shattered pieces together again, but puts them together wrong, which can only mean doom for us all.

Uncomfortable Realization of the Night
Overhearing a man watch an Ultimate Fighting Championship match in the next room is indistinguishable from overhearing a man vigorously masturbate. “Oh God! Aw man! Yes! Oooooh!”
Not to mention both make me equally uncomfortable in the knowledge that they are engaging in said act.

Esquire: Paul Thomas Anderson Profile →
I’m reading Rebels On the Backlot because I’ve been sick in bed all night and I always meant to check it out but never did. During some supplemental googling, I read this great profile on P.T. Anderson. It confirms a lot of what I already knew, but it’s also an interesting peek at his adolescence.

I want to go to Sark, one of the Channel Islands, purely to find out more about this:
One-person invasion attempt

Fascinating word of the day: Guernsey
Why? Because this word is worthless in America. We have no cultural or geographical connection to it whatsoever, so it is intellectually and commercially bankrupt. It was completely amalgamated (autonymned?) into Jersey through the natural course of language and slang evolution. The only people I even really hear using guernsey are Aussies talking about...
