Fascinating to write this in a style that feels more like an imitation of the writer you’re decrying than the one you’re lionizing

Did you know Cormac McCarthy stopped reading new novels after Infinite Jest and referred to @JoyceCarolOates as "the goggle lady?"

My definitive takedown of Jest, MFAs, and the coinage of a new term "publishing-inudstrial complex" to explain it all :)

We were excited to find an original Mason-Dixon Line marker on the border of Adams County PA and Frederick County MD (the “M” standing for the Maryland side). The property owner said it was placed in 1767 by surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon.

Steven Spielberg says Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio's "One Battle After Another" is "really incredible."

“What an insane movie, oh my God. There is more action in the first hour of this than every other [PTA movie] put together... I have not seen a movie that is so tonally a relative to Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Dr. Strangelove.' This brings a kind of absurdist comedy, taken very seriously, because it’s so much a reflection of what’s happening today, every day, throughout this country. But it takes it to a point where you want to laugh, because if you don’t laugh, you’re going to start screaming, ‘This is too real.’ And so you got that outlet… more than nervously, I had a great time laughing all the way through this. But it’s interesting where you laugh here, where you allow us to laugh, and then when you shut it down.”

“Mean Girls” is a classic along the lines of “Casablanca,” renowned for its performances, for its dialogue, and for a seemingly wondrous synergy of all involved.

You're picking #13 seed Grand Canyon to upset Maryland in your bracket. I'm buying their publicly traded $LOPE stock in anticipation of a Round 1 victory. We are not the same.

[jos @josiahhughes]

movies have come such a long way since back then.

it's probably because cameras didn't have built-in screens, but so many old movies have these weird glares, reflection, and other artefacts obstructing the actor.

just another reminder that some things *are* getting better.
