What We Mean When We Say New York, New York
markcoatney: You want to know what Manhattan is? Manhattan is a infinite series of small, toxic slushy lakes, crisscrossed by impassable snow mountains. A distinguishing feature of these lakes is that they look exactly like solid asphalt pavement.  They are not.  Coatney is a poet and a preacher of the truth. I saw many an amateur suddenly find themselves ankle deep in slush last night....

Happy Birthday, Fede!
It was Federico Fellini’s b-day today!  Tanti auguri, amico mio!  If you haven’t at least seen La Dolce VIta or 8 1/2, get with the program.  Below are two frames from the final moments of the former.  I have these blown up and hanging in my room.

Continuing my analysis of great movie punches, here’s a clip from the prototypical tale of the non-traditional family: Three Men and a Little Lady. This one is simple: Tom Selleck is in a foreign land, he’s dirty, in love with the woman that birthed his best friend’s baby, and he’s just been pushed too far, so he jacks this uppity Brit cleanly in the money-maker. Selleck,...

Inside the Conde Nast Cafeteria
I know this is home to GQ, Vanity Fair, and such, but I really didn’t expect everyone to be so beautiful here. I’ve proposed to 7 girls already, and I haven’t even gotten to the front of the sandwich line yet.

Last week’s blizzard delayed Newsweek’s Kodachrome coverage, but here it is.  Better late than never.  Above is the video about my NYC-to-KS road trip to Dwayne’s Photo, the last place in the world to process Kodachrome film.
