I will forever covet Harry’s Loveless tshirt.
(Also, this was taken at my Tahoemaggedon 30th birthday weekend!)
Alice’s post of Harry and Megan from the Observer features the Man in Purple wearing the very same shirt as the day I met him. Love it.
Hahahah! I love this photo. It is Harry’s Teen Beat picture. JD is an amazing photographer. Ali, that weekend was fantastic.
I still think I should make this into a poster. Who’d want one?
I WOULD DEF HANG THIS IN MY APT #NOHOMO
Hello, flood of new followers.
Thank you for placing my mind in your dashboard.
Hopefully you will catch me on my interesting days.
Which is just to say that there will also be plenty of uninteresting ones.
Wow. Another upcoming movie that looks super interesting… starring a trans*woman of color who is actually played by a trans*woman. That’s kind of a big deal.
Read more about Gun Hill Road on Autostraddle.
(Trigger warning: this is an intense video; the trans woman’s father expresses anti-trans sentiments.)
This looks amazing. Agreed with the awesome groundbreakingness of a transwoman played by a transwoman.
i saw this at sundance and it was def one of my faves. the q&a after made me love it 1000 times more. the father is played by shakespearian trained actor who played his first thug role of his life because he never wanted to be typecasted.
As for the transwoman it was intense that she was going through the same process at the same time as the movie was being filmed. When it comes out in theaters i highly recommend watching this struggle unfold.
HAHAHAHAHAHAno, that shit’s for losers. You wanna ask me a question, just fucking ask.
Whaaaa?? If you wanna write a blog just code some blog software. If you want to be snarky, do it in person. It’s really weird how this thing went from like… app to snark in like…. 10 minutes? It seems fine to me. People ask questions, turn them into fodder for something to write if you want, don’t if you don’t want. The part people should stop is tumbling one word answer to every question, but I suppose Karp kicked that off when he started playing with it.
Karp actually rolled his own http://www.davidslog.com/ask
Avatar made $1 billion and everyone’s got an opinion on why (or at least Salon.com and AdAge do). The first comes from Salon:
That doesn’t just make James “Titanic” Cameron the first man to direct two billion-dollar movies. It also sends a clear message to all those industries getting remade from top to bottom by the pressures exerted by the Internet and associated computer technologies: Keep innovating, and you will keep finding customers.And here’s what AdAge has to say:
“Avatar” was a costly gamble for Fox — its production budget was once confirmed by the studio to be $237 million but believed to have climbed as high as $300 million with an additional estimated $150 million global marketing outlay (a global figure on par with Warner Bros.’ “The Dark Knight,” the second-highest grossing film of all time). So the studio had to manage its own expectations along with that of moviegoers.I’m much more inclined to go with the second theory.
did anyone discuss how Avatar tix cost double the price of regular tix and thats how they got to a billi so quickly?
Although the author is writing about computers that play chess, I think the point can be extrapolated to the wider world:
With ever more powerful processors, silicon chess players developed the ability to calculate so far ahead that the distinction between short-term tactical calculations and long-term strategic planning became blurred.I think about this quite a lot. It’s easier than ever to prototype something and to get feedback on that prototype. What once took years of planning, now takes months or days and often it is cheaper to just make the thing than to figure out whether it’s worth making. Obviously a lot of my thinking is specific to the technology/web/marketing industries, but I think it has ramifications outside as well.
its as if there is no time. the only difference is doing or not doing
This isnt fair to compare. 3D theaters arent ubiquitous.
People like 3D Warrior Smurfs, but only about half as much as they like lusty teenage vampires and werewolves. For those of you keeping score at home:
- Avatar - Weekend 1: $73,000,000
- New Moon - Weekend 1: $142,839,137
