“This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” — Steve Jobs, 1982.
I assume this is a cunning lie, but it represents something beautiful anyway.

“We excuse our intellects by declaring ourselves under-read and yet forget how much better read we all already are than Plato or Dante.” — Alain de Botton
You goon, this isn’t about books at all! Plato and Dante were instrumental in developing the common context we use to define our whole damn reality. Their intellectual power is not in question. Humans today are lucky if we produce one useless new idea, let alone an idea that lights up the globe.
Take the kids!

Who the hell else didn’t stop doing this in 2008? I want way more chill, echoey licks than a Bon Iver track dropped whenever he gets scared of being forgotten. Does no one fear oblivion like this man?

we cannot offer you respect, it is male weakness and besides a thing hard-earned. but if you slow your pace we will remember the way that you are, here at the beach, with such fondness.
Roger Ebert Makes A Good Point. Damn.
Roger Ebert on 3-D in film and how it’s bad and on and on
Ugh, he’s right about Katzenberg. But still kind of awful.
For a director who takes himself seriously, to add 3-D would be like a novelist choosing a distracting typeface.
I think this ‘Real-D’ is great, for exactly that reason. Kinda. Right now my only reason to see a commercial film in theatres, beyond that mania which bursts within me when a trailer shows me a thing I’ve only known to be true in my mind, is watching what they do with it in the 3-D medium.
Don’t be angry that they’re trying to expand the art form, be angry that they’re using these interesting technologies to tell dumb stories badly.
It’s what? No, this is just what I buy. What the hell do you read?
I tell you, you can literally watch this movie with your eyes. And what’s so enthralling about Jonze’s take on the prose of Maurice Sendak is eventually it’s going to come out on a plate that you can slide into your own electric jester and you won’t have to drive to the theatre!!
