Do you like dioramas? Are you a fan of precision? How about cold, ironic, distancing emotion wrapped in whimsy surrounded by sliding camera moves in perfect horizontal or vertical compositions? If your answer to all of the above is yes, then you're gonna go crazy over Wes Anderson's latest feature, MOONRISE KINGDOM.From BOTTLE ROCKET to RUSHMORE and on and on, Anderson has carved out a truly unique aesthetic in cinema. Nobody makes films like he does, which come across as carefully crafted tableaus, always aware of the theatrical proscenium arch and fairytale quality inherent in classic, old school storytelling. He's like the pop-up book of directors, and nowhere is this more apparent than in his new film.Set in 1965, it's the tale of two young ... Continue reading →
Kids: A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know.

How will Facebook be any different from the dot-com bubble of the early 2000’s? For one thing, those bad dot-com stocks were all speculation and hype, and weren’t based on real businesses. Facebook, on the other hand, is based on a solid foundation of angry birds and imaginary sheep. Second, Facebook is the most successful social network in the world, enabling millions to ...

Legacy Celebs Combs & Seinfeld We released the first ever Celebrity 100 list in the March 23, 1999 issue of FORBES, with a cover that featured Jerry Seinfeld and Sean “Diddy” Combs… same diamond studs, same self-promoting style; he wore his own Sean John t-shirt to the photo shoot. Not much was different…only back then he was calling himself Puff Daddy. Combs boasted to Forbes he had “the strength of Sinatra” and was proud of his position in the top 20. “I’m not the best rapper in the business, but I am the best entertainer,” he said. “I’ll meet anybody on stage and I will get down.” He raked in $53.5 million in 1999 for his own performances and his label Bad Boy Records, which ...
