    Snobby Arabs and Euros? My god. we the Arabs have finally arrived and are no longer considered quaint kissing cousins of the Beverly Hill Billies.

    The site started of well and still has some occasional useful travel advice. Apart from that it does have some very glossy photos.

    @mrh001: But it DOES know how to punctuate and to spell "Hillbilly," and would be sure to do so in a post designed to display its sophistication.

    ASmallWorld.net sounds like a worthless site that a 15-year-old wise ass created to rip off some fat douchebag with money to burn. Am I warm?

    @raincoaster: Don't worry, there's some proletarian chaff such as myself there, too. I'll say that the editorial content is not bad, but the job and rental/housing listings are the real draw. "Wanna rent my 3-floor villa in Dubai? That'll only be 50,000 Euros a month! Only apply if you speak six languages."

    I was trying to find a roommate a few years back and posted an ad on ASmallWorld. This marketing consultant chick in her early 40s shows up, does a tour of my place and gives me a running commentary along the lines of, "Your bathroom paint is peeling. Are you going to do anything about it? An O'Keefe & Merritt stove? How charmingly retro! Your tastes run toward the quaint, right?" Good thing she huffed off in her BMW SUV or I would have strangled her with the cord of my "charmingly quaint" toaster.

    The Smith story is amusing, but it's nothing new. Harvey confused Joey Lauren Adams with Renee Zellweger at the Golden Globes the year Joey was nominated for "Chasing Amy".

    In reply to Harvey Weinstein: Sad, Senile, Barely Surviving The Next Big Thing
    One of my first disaster experiences with the Weinsteins was Dimenson's release of Pulse, a remake of the strangely thoughtful and detached Kiyoshi Kurosawa ghost film Kairo. The orginal film, while not a blockbuster by any means while in release in Japan, was known as something critically-revered and highly respected by aficionados of the genre, and after a first screening where the film was panned by teenage boys who misunderstood the film's quiet concept, it was retooled as a CGI-laden action-survival film so that it could make a lot of money, totally eschewing the reasons for having purchased the movie from the Japanese in the first place. It was a flop of unexpected proportions, pushed back three times from the late winter (when such a "cold" film had a chance) to late summer, and was a horrifying example of the American dream corrupting the intellectual vision of the way actual cinematic visionaries are cultivated in foreign countries.

    That last anecdote by Kevin Smith I loved so much I reread it maybe ten times while trying to put it into the context of so many of their business mistakes, that Harvey especially is so unfocused he doesn't even know who's working for him, only what he's working towards in the hypothetical. He's grasping at straws, trying simultaneously to make certain films that are merely cash cows while making others to gain credible critical adulation, two things which only go hand in hand by accident, not by design. I have a terrible feeling about their next few years, but quality control is obviously not their strong suit. I'm glad they got their Oscar win for The Reader, and are using that critical success to... restart the Scream franchise from the 1990's. Bizarre.

    @ampersandparade: As I read the article this morning, I found the Weinsteins to seem more and more irrelevant until I had to question why I was even reading it. Your last sentence summarizes the whole sorry situation quite nicely.

    so much hatred, so little brains. This is one of QT's best films ever, and the character of Hans Landa as portrayed by Christophe Waltz is one of the most memorable characters ever seen in film. The sight of Ryan from the office (BJ Novak) non-chalantly scalping a Nazi while making small talk is freaking hysterical. I know people who have worked for Harvey, and he is an a-list a-hole, but this movie is good.
