Blindness Offends the Blind

This Friday, theaters across America will be the sites of protests as the National Federation of the Blind pickets Fernando Meirelles' Blindness in what is either the greatest viral marketing stint of all time, or the worst irony in a film title since Adaptation.

Toby Young: Following Every Jerk Out There All the Way to the Bank

Nice guys the world over are sure of one thing besides death and taxes: people love assholes. Curb Your Enthusiasm fans are also aware of this fact, or at least they should be, considering how much of an asshole Larry David is. Bukowski fans should know this too. And David Sedaris fans.

The obnoxious dickheads always win, people. So why the hell is anyone perplexed by Toby Young's success?

Bo Burnham: The Anti-Zac Efron

Meet Bo Burnham, YouTube sensation (not of the Chris Crocker variety) and the latest member of the Judd Apatow family. This kid just turned 18 and he's already been tapped to write the music for — and star in — a new Apatow comedy that is being billed as "the anti-High School Musical." Sounds awesome already.

HSN THE MOVIE

 

Why Don't We Rate Commercialism?

If movies and television are rated to warn potential viewers they contain foul language, drug use and/or boobs, why can't they be rated to warn potential viewers they contain not so subtle ads for crap like Old Spice, also? This is the central question of a new piece in today's Slate. A piece in which Alissa Quart slowly unravels an argument, asks a lot of questions and then never really approaches a conclusion, as writers at Slate are wont to do.

Rocker Wildly Possessive of Mediocre Song

On Monday, pallid shredder Jack White released a statement complaining that the theme song he composed with Alicia Keys for upcoming Bond film Quantum of Solace, "Another Way to Die," had no business in the hands of Coca Cola.

Coke is currently using "Another Way" in its Coke Zero Zero 7 commercials, and White, obviously completely ignorant to the way modern mega-corporations pimp each other's creativity, feels slighted by this. He went so far as to say he was "disappointed."

Why Can't Clooney Succeed By Himself?

The strangest thing about George Clooney is that everyone loves him until he does his job. Women and men, straights and gays, Democrats and liberals—all of them claim to adore the dark-eyed consummate bachelor. And yet, despite all the accolades, it seems that every time George releases a movie, it tanks. Yes, his films are very often heralded by critics. (Save for a misstep in 1997's Batman and Robin, his oeuvre is solid as far as the intellectuals are concerned.) But the box office tallies never seem to match the critiques. CONTINUED »
