infy REVIEWS: There Will be Blood
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film is silent for most of the first reel. Rather than dumping the exposition on us in a classic but sloppy fashion, PTA unfolds his masterpiece deliberately. The opening scene sets the tone for the unprecedented level of craft in both performance and filmmaking to follow. We open on a vista of scrub brushed hills. Not only are we seeing the harsh, untamed...
infy FOR OLD PEOPLE: 'The Google' →
“All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type ‘thegoogle.com,’ and press ‘return’—although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and ‘THEGOOGLE’ typed into a Word document.”
The Assimilated Negro: jacked again →
TAN, as is his acronym, has been robbed once again. The plight of any prolific blogger is content theft. Compare slate.com’s ‘ass through the ages’ piece with his.
infy LIFE LESSONS: phishing scams
“In computing, phishing is a criminal activity where phishers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay and PayPal are two of the most targeted companies, and online banks are also common targets.” — wikipedia

infy BLOWN UP SPOTS: Jason Scheunemann
This guy is a friend of David Lynch’s son and has been shuffling around shooting a doc about Lynch. After 2 years of half working for/half filming Lynch the doc is making the festival rounds. I have no problems with getting in any way you can, or with a film being celebrated based on its subject rather than its treatment….
…but you knew we wouldn’t be here if I...

infy EATS REVIEW: 15
Making Gridskipper’s list for best eats in Echo Park, I was doubtful about this upstart across the street from Pioneer Chicken. Varying opinions around the web make it out as either the beginning or end of the neighborhood, depending on your tax bracket. 7:45 on a Saturday night the place was deserted. 2 other parties were eating as we got in. The bar is closed, awaiting a license.

A source tells America’s National Enquirer, “The most explosive comments will be how the then-blonde, blue-eyed cutie developed a crush on Eve Plumb, which led to some sexual play. “This book will certainly come as a shocker. While Maureen is not a lesbian, she reveals there were some sexual hijinks going on behind the scenes. - Contact Music

In case you haven’t been following the national news, infy will catch you up.

The next day, 3 hangman’s nooses were found hanging from the tree. 3 white kids were caught, and were suspended against the...
