What overrides so-so reviews, an unexciting trailer and gaping plot holes?
Chemistry. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt have it. They meet in the men's bathroom and bam! We want them to end up together so we're prepared to overlook the silliness and logical inconsistencies of The Adjustment Bureau, writer-director George Nolfi's adaptation of a short story by Philip K. Dick. The Adjustment Bureau is not the [...]

Shelf lives
Bookshelf of famous person (whose name we forgot to take down) at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. If you know whose shelf this is give us a holler. Bookshelf of James Franco that he posted on Twitter. Is that a large-type illustrated edition of The Great Gatsby? Is that a beer? Look, a Cartman [...]

Embarking on W+P is like [...]

Photo from anthonykiedis.net. Have we mentioned that we love Red Hot Chili Peppers and their frontman Anthony Kiedis, that we're waiting for their new album, working (not final) title Dr. Johnny Skinz's Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head, that we can't wait to hear how the band sounds now that John Frusciante's left (again) and Flea [...]
Divento matta
Memo to graphic designers: It's 2011. This is us in the 90s. We restrained our hair and we had no cats. This is us in the 21st century.
