writer-a:
thefeeling:
I’ve wondered this exact same thing for a year or so now. Unfortunately, the above article is merely an advertorial piece promoting this so-called “curation” site, and doesn’t get into any of the fundamental differences between music and film and literature.
In the end, it all comes down to credibility. When I have only the rest of my life to read books and watch...

“Dream of a Baseball Star” by Gregory Corso.
I dreamed of Ted Williams
Leaning at night
Against the Eiffel Tower, weeping
He was in uniform
And his bat lay at his feet
—knotted and twiggy.
‘Randall Jarrell says you’re a poet!’ I cried.
‘So do I! I say you’re a pet!’
He picked up his bat with blown hands;
Stood there astraddle as he would in the batter’s box,
And laughed! Flinging his schoolboy wrath
Toward some invisible pitcher’s...

Like Jeff Price, the writer of this article —whom I know from the long ago days of the Lake Placid Film Forum—I had wish-fulfillment as well. Really it was a class with Franco (never happened) and becoming best of friends with the guy and...

Anthony Bourdain to write a comic book. →
Fuck and yes, easily the number one comic book I’m looking forward to.
I’ve gotta get something off my chest: I’ve been watching the hell out of Bourdain’s show No Reservations on Netflix Instant. Not because he’s some dumbass who will eat anything, because if you watch it you really know the show isn’t entirely about the food. 99% percent of the stuff he eats...

– William Gibson, Zero History, pg. 102. What I liked about this book the most was there are gutters in this; comic book gutters. The comic book gutter is the separation between panels, the white space, and the key to the gutter is from panel to panel the transfer of information without actually...

Laura Hudson and company descend like Galactus’s Heralds on Jared Keller’s hilarious article on the STATE OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL. (Queue dramatic music) . Giving the Atlantic’s long-standing pinnacle of the written word it’s just rewards for a job that could have been done better by a clogged toilet.

I had a real dilemma reading this script over the summer, the first of his that I’ve managed to get my hands on. (Bad David: where is your West Wing scriptbook?!) Like I mentioned the speech patterns got to me. But what I’ve been thinking about more and more (and the fact that we’re hurtling towards this movie) is how...

Tonight, while stepping outside to get my lady a Diet Ginger Ale and myself a Mountain Dew, I stopped and looked at the traffic fly by on 1st avenue. I thought: in the last week I’ve been to Lake Placid, packed up my stuff and went back to Manhattan, moved it all to Brooklyn and tomorrow I’ll be in LA until Monday. Things didn’t go exactly how I wanted them to today but,...
