CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. “He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of...
apple and the culture of good enough
a lot has been made of the culture of good enough. we take crappy photos with cell phones, shoot crappy video with Flips and cell phones and purchase technology that has noticeable flaws, but remains just good enough.
even though i don’t use apple computers (only an iPod for me) i’ve always thought apple was above the idea of just good enough. it certainly seems like steve jobs would...

THR: What doesn't make your day? What was your worst day on the job?
Schamus: One, I tend not to have really bad days because I tend to accept defeat as part of my life; I think you have to. But I'd say probably this year, clearly the Monday after the release of "Taking Woodstock" because, honestly, my name is on that thing: I wrote it, I produced it, and I had to walk into a meeting on Monday -- we have meetings and everyone is invited; if you're an assistant, a coordinator, whoever you are, you can come into the video conference room in three cities -- and remember there was a lot more gossip back in August about the future of independent companies. I was delivering bad news, and I've got to take that bullet. On the other hand, that's part of why we do what we do, and I tell this to everyone at the company. Once a year, it's a ritual, I say to everyone at the company: "At the end of next year, if you have not done something that has completely and utterly failed, you should not be working here, because if you're not taking risks or trying stuff that hasn't been done before, then why work here? And don't worry about it. Everybody gets to fail -- just don't make a habit of it!" (Laughs.)
yep, i remember that day. not a lot of fun...but what an awesome guy! read the full interview here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ia843bb78e2842c1cedee810e30df313b

some quick notes on jonathan papelbon
i know people are a little down on paps following his meltdown against the angels in the ‘09 playoffs. and the fact that the sox again chose arbitration instead of signing him to a long-term deal has people wondering if this will be his last year with the team.
with daniel bard throwing 102 and mixing in some nasty off-speed pitches, sox fans are licking their lips at the idea of making DB...

he shot parts of this in my apartment building over the summer! based on the 60 or so crew members and the size of the 8 trucks he had parked on poinsettia and hawthorn, i thought they were shooting where the wilder things are. as i hopped over cables and avoided klieg lights on the walk to my actual apartment, i was shocked when someone from the set told me it was a short…
