Today's links
Interviews, movie reviews, 2,000-word recaps of “The Bachelor.” All that is fine and well, but every now and then, we just want links, right? They’ve become staples in our communication arsenal, often being the sole message in e-mails and instant messages among friends. With that in mind, I am going to start doing semi-regular (twice a week? three times a day? who knows?) posts that consist solely of links. Any clever or simple title options for posts are welcome in the comments section. But keep it clean, folks. (I’m looking at you, Team Zax Happy Hour. Oh, and you, TrueCraig.)
Without further ado, mass linkage (caveat: I promise that this featurette will get more entertaining and comprehensive as we go forward)…
- ESPN’s SportsGuy Bill Simmons’ latest Podcast features an NBA conversation with the eminently quotable Charles Barkley.
- A word against in-store snacking: Man arrested for eating jelly beans in store.
- Treated more like factory workers than artists, Hollywood screenwriters — currently threatening to strike — have never received much respect. Do they deserve it?
- Comedian Colbert reaches double digits as third-party candidate.
- What Hollywood is calling “the Judith Miller movie” is filming [in Memphis], but prepare yourselves: Some changes are being made to the story inspired by the outing of a CIA agent.
- Inside the mob plot to kill Rudy Giuliani.
- The best movies are the ones you probably won’t see.
