We Are All What's Her Name

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:06:55 GMT

Do you remember that whole big dust up a lifetime ago, about a young girl who read about people on the internet who seemed impressive and interesting, and because she knew their names without ever meeting them, and because other people she had never met also talked about them and seemed impressed by them, they appeared to be important figures with positions and influence worth aspiring to?

Then she met them.

It was at this point that she realized that these people were not actually that impressive or interesting and no matter what their influence or position (real or imagined) aspiring to be like or among them suddenly seemed like a big waste of time. Yes, the point was pretty obvious, but she was young and for her, at that moment, it was probably a pretty profound moment of revelation.

The best part about this video is that everyone who watches it can be at that party and know exactly what she felt.

Bonus: As you watch, see if you can tell who really means it.

P.S. I am sorry that I missed the benefit.

New York’s Senator Schumer wants Canada to keep meth out of his state

Canada, like many U.S. regions, has been invaded by meth, a highly addictive and illegal drug that has never been much of a problem in the northeastern region of the U.S. New York Senator Charles Schumer knows that could easily change though, if the DEA and the Canadian government can’t stop meth from crossing the border in to New York’s communities. Schumer has asked the DEA to put more agents on the Canadian border. He has also asked Canada to get an action plan in place that will address the

バットマン “Dark Knight”

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:59:38 GMT

この週末は、金曜日に公開になった話題作、バットマンシリーズの”Dark Knight”を見に行ってきました。友達がはりきって数日前にチケットを取ってくれたのですが、IMAXのある映画館でのチケットは既に売り切れており、近所の映画館での9時半からの上映を見に行くことになりました。当日は1時間前に映画館に行きましたが、私が着いたころには既に10時半からの列もできるほどの混雑具合でした。コミックの映画化作品が大人にこれだけ人気なのは不思議な気がしたのですが、バットマンの歴史は古く、もともとのコミックが始まったのは1930年代。テレビシリーズ、映画シリーズと世代をわたって親しまれているわけで、その間に作風も変化してきたようです。現在のダークなイメージは1980年後半からできてきたそうです。この映画が話題となったもう1つはHeath Ledgerの遺作であることです。この映画のキーとなる役割であるジョーカーを演じるのは演技派の若手俳優であったHeath Ledgerですが、彼は今年の1月に29歳の若さでニューヨークのアパートで急死しました。その時点では映画の撮影はほぼ終了していたようですが、

Keith Gessen Movie Features Not Quite All The Happyish Young Blogging People [Cultural Moments]

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:46:16 GMT

Here's Rex Sorgatz's video of various people reading from the de-Harvardized copy of tortured soul Keith Gessen's All The Sad Young Literary Men. It was shot largely in the Gawker offices! And it involves such noted internet personalities as Andrew Krucoff, Choire Sicha, Julia Allison, Alex Pareene, Rachel Sklar — the d-list goes on and on. You'll either find it entertaining and funny (I did!) or feel like you need a decoder ring. A cheat sheet to the best moments is after the jump, if you want all the surprises spoiled, along with an update on the status of the modified All The Sad Young Literary Men, now an official literary hot potato.

The cheat sheet, via Sorgatz:

Personal faves include Krucoff stumbling across Emily's name, Julia musing about Google hits, Sklar standing in front of Balthazar, and Choire closing the house. But all of you! All of you have made America (and perhaps Russia) a better place!

Also, we are told that the book copy in this video, the FSU Middlebrow Remix of All The Sad Young Literary Men, has passed from Andrew Krucoff, who bought it from us at $890 (proceeds to the homeless), to the blogger 99, who bought it at $275 (discounted by the bundling of a date) from Krucoff (proceeds to a soup kitchen).

We are all witness to something very special! Don't you already feel more literarified and shit??

Diaz Action Intensifying

When artist Nelson Diaz put three paintings up for auction this week, I was a bit worried. Pushing two paintings in one week seemed difficult enough, but three seemed aggressive. As of yesterday, none had a bid of more than $1. I have a lot of confidence in Nelson and in this project, but I was a bit frightened. What if they only went for a buck each? Well, it looks like I was getting ahead of myself. The action has picked up today. Prices on all three paintings have shot up. Self-Portrait wi

Forget it. Chris Basak’s second error of the night extended the game. Scott Thorman then cracked an RBI double to tie the score 1-1. Once I got past the fact that the name

It wasn’t as crowded as in the winter months, and many of the children who live down south were already back in school. August was considered “off-season,” so our rates were really reasonable.

But, rest easy — it’s found a home in Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, where it will be open from October 20 to November 9. How much does it cost to rent that space for three weeks? Chanel paid
