    I saw the Invention of Lying last night. it was god awful. I left half-way through, came home to watch Extras, and forgave Gervais for that monstrosity and $12.50 I had just wasted.

    I saw a preview screening of Zombieland and it rocked, even though Jesse Eisenberg seemed to be doing a dead-on Michael Cera impression throughout the movie. Very funny, very clever, and with the best title sequence since Duplicity (though, unlike Duplicity, the rest of the film is actually good, too).

    One of the Coens signed the "Free Roman" petition, I believe, so I won't be seeing THAT movie.

    @dolemite1975: Ugh, seriously? There aren't enough good movie selections out there as is, let alone with a Hollywood blacklist.

    I figure these celebs were friends of Polanski's and are too partial to make a fair assessment of this situation. Boycott Polanski, but we shouldn't hold it against his friends.

    I'm not usually a harsh person, but... AT&T, I'm really not effing interested in how hard it is to do the thing FOR WHICH YOU'RE CHARGING ME MONEY. Either do what you promise to do, or get out of the business and STFU.

    AT&T iPhone data plan ($30) + unlimited voice ($100) + unlimited text ($20) + GPS nav. ($10) = $160/mo.

    How is it even possible to have a pre-tax $160/mo. plan? $160? Really? And why pay that kind of money to a company that can’t provide the network to support the service? (A telcom monopoly, no less.)

    @iplaudius: Add to that the fact AT&T is laying off like crazy, outsourcing heavily overseas, and raising the health insurance on those that remain? Really crappy stuff. And no, I'm not a CWA-er, just no love for how Ma Bell is doing things these days

    In reply to Steve Forbes' Desperation For Bestseller Credibility: Having Employees Expense His Book
    Back in the nineties, the short megalo Gingrich drew a four million advance from Murdoch. The book was to be standard fascist drool, lists about corporate godism or something. Incidentally, on another front, unbeknownst to either of them, there was in Congress a move to allow bloated tycoons to own more and more of everything newsy in every city.

    The book bidness, it used to mean something.

    In reply to Steve Forbes' Desperation For Bestseller Credibility: Having Employees Expense His Book
    Let's apply Forbes' flat-tax philosophy to this book thing, shall we?

    Which scenario is more of a burden to the individual in each scenario:

    a.) Billionaire buys 1,000 copies of this shitty book for $17,160.

    or

    b.) One of Forbes' furloughed copy editors earning $37,000 buys the exact same number of books for the exact same price.

    You see? Real equality! The financial burden of these men are exactly the same!

    Flat tax rules!

    Excelsior!

    And as far as the poor copy editor making ends meet:

    CHARITY, people.

    Charity is the solution.

    For example:

    Instead of big guv-mint redistributing these books to the poor, the billionaire should have the personal freedom to donate the extra 999 copies *out of his own personal choice* to the furloughed copy editor -- who can then burn these books in his Franklin stove for heat during the winter months!

    @Gosukusan:
    If the books are expensed, then then the cost of them is written off on Forbes. Inc taxes.
    We, the taxpayers pick up 50% of the cost & Silly Steve gives the books away as gifts for buy a subscription to his dieing & doomed mag!

    I remember rumors about Lester being the father years ago. And I'm pretty sure Mrs. Orbach died some time this spring.

    Well, she plays piano pretty well which is a lot more than most young recording artists can do these days.
