“Inside Woody Allen’s Brooklyn Party” (via The Daily Beast)

Excerpt:

Aren’t we all aware by now that Woody Allen is not putting on an act? That’s my theory anyway. I think he’s so good at playing the Woody Allen character because it’s not really a character…it’s a slightly caricature-ized version of the real person. Lloyd Grove adds evidence to my theory with this account: Woody [...]

Magic and the Brain: Teller Reveals the Neuroscience of Illusion

Excerpt:

For Teller (that’s his full legal name), magic is more than entertainment. He wants his tricks to reveal the everyday fraud of perception so that people become aware of the tension between what is and what seems to be. Our brains don’t see everything—the world is too big, too full of stimuli. So the brain [...]

Support for Shepard Fairey (via Signalnoise.com)

Excerpt:

Given the nature of Fairey’s art and his methods of appropriating found imagery, the argument is quite understandable and I’ve read countless valid points on both ends of the spectrum. Obey Giant blurs a lot of lines. Signalnoise.com | The art of James White » Support for Shepard

Merino blasts Hirst in Art World-style mob hit

Excerpt:

Eugenio Merino has unveiled a very funny new sculpture at the 28th Madrid International Contemporary Art Fair that pokes fun at the art world in general an Damien Hirst specifically.

The Sun: Eddie Murphy set to play The Riddler

Excerpt:

This article is funny, and after thinking about it for a second Eddie Murphy is perfect…but after another second of thinking he’s the worst possible person to play the role. (Can “Pluto Nash” ever be forgiven?!) Both Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger changed the comic book movie super-villain game as Joker so it doesn’t really [...]
