Hours? Do they take PCs? Printers? What do we do?

Once the tube’s only extant certificate of “quality,” PBS’s imprimatur now means about as much as, say, the SyFy Channel’s. Having failed in its mission, it strives for a niche—and has found one, to my surprise.
Tom Carson, brilliant on his “PBS apostasy” and submitting to Downton Abbey

Hell is other jingles

Because I want everyone to share my pain, I have inflicted my tortured relationship with that “Stock Up On Joy” Coke jingle (previously considered here) on the readers of Spectrum Culture for this week’s List Inconsequential: “If There is a Hell, This is the Soundtrack.” They even dug up the YouTube link. I am so sorry.

New theory that I’m probably not the first to think of: Dr. Steve Brule is what became of Reed Rothchild when he quit the porn industry and his magician career didn’t work out and years of hard living caught up with him.

David Fincher’s favorites movies.

No offense, David Fincher, but that’s a pretty boring list. Not that I’m necessarily going to challenge any of these choices individually, but like, couldn’t you have thrown a curveball or two? I’m not saying I expected Tarkovsky, but what about some Nicholas Ray or Frank Tashlin? This might as well have been copied from the IMDb top 250.

The know-it-alls are always the last to know. Everyone’s a diagnostician, and everyone’s wrong.

this is a thing I’m going to start putting up in bathrooms, for real

I always get Timothy Busfield confused with Timothy Bottoms. Busfield/Bottoms is the real Paxton/Pullman.

I’m not a fan of establishing shots….I have a ‘no helicopter’ rule, just because I can’t figure out what to do with a helicopter that hasn’t been done, and still is appropriate for whatever film you’re making. I’m sure there’s some crazy shit nobody’s done, but the point is, you shouldn’t be doing crazy shit just because it’s crazy shit. That’s something you always get asked when you’re going and making a road movie like this. The unit production manager will ask you, ‘Do we need a helicopter?’ and I say, ‘No. No helicopters.’
Steven Soderbergh
