Ryan said: Jason Kottke hired Jenni Leder to compile this List of Lists about the 2000s, which, if you haven't noticed, are rapidly giving way to the 2010s. Lots of sources here, with new items clearly marked and 210 lists as I type this. Added: December 21, 2009 at 11:35AM EST
Ryan said: Rex Sorgatz has been hard at work on his annual List of Lists, neatly split into categories, starting with Advertising and working its way through the alphabet down to Words. There are seven lists under that last heading. Added: December 21, 2009 at 11:26AM EST
Ryan said: Twitter as performance: Follow all the Home Alone characters on this list to get a holiday treat, starting on the 22nd. I wouldn't mind if someone did this with a sitcom like 30 Rock on a weekly basis. Quote:
As stated the project will be playing out in real time (Central Standard time) as that's the time in Illinois, and will run for 3 days.Added: December 17, 2009 at 7:45AM EST
Ryan said: This is fun, but creepy. The 10th anniversary edition site for Fight Club will tell you all about yourself, weaving pictures of you from Facebook into trailer-of-sorts for the rest of your life... Added: November 13, 2009 at 9:17AM EST
Ryan said: Entertainment Editor - Yahoo!: "The ideal candidate will know how to recognize and package great web content, is adept at a variety of subjects across entertainment (movies, music, pop culture, television, gossip, etc.), and willing to work the odd hours that the Internet requires, including evenings and weekends."

Ryan said: Ernesto Priego responding to an Andrew Keen piece in The Telegraph points out something important about all the easy celebrity Internet success stories like Radiohead and Trent Reznor: "The problem with using them as paradigms of the new digital cultural economy is a fundamental one: none of them started out and made their financial and artistic success in the digital economy."

Ryan said: If you haven't watched any of Matt Zoller Seitz's video clip collections, feel free to start here. It's a study of Tarantino's dialogue. Added: August 21, 2009 at 4:22PM EDT
Ryan said: The Tisch-related electrocution in May 2009, which I just heard about from Cody's tweet, involved some pretty basic grip/electric tasks on a student (or independent) film production. Glad it's not a lesson anyone I know ever had to learn the hard way, and my heart goes out to this kid's family. Here's a link to a wire story that ran in the local Georgia paper near where this happened: http://www.macon.com/198/story/732610.html (Note, Cody's link is to the music video set where Spike is working, which is exactly the sort of place where I used to work on lifts with lights.)

Ryan said: Roger Ebert issues a commentary on the notion of lists of the best movies ever, while at the same time letting us in not only on some of the details of the films on the particular list he's deconstructing, but he also embeds a few choice clips to help explain himself. A lot to explore here. Added: August 3, 2009 at 9:09PM EDT
Ryan said: If I weren't going to have already moved out of Rochester by the time this show comes around, I'd totally consider researching babysitters just to take the wife. Girl Talk would be worth it. Added: July 30, 2009 at 11:55AM EDT
