No, HBO is not paying me to blog about Bored to Death several times a week (but I wouldn't turn down the money if they were to do so). Anyway, here's a 13 min. video about making that TV show, pretty good: :: :: LINKS 2013 Oscar Nominees Breakthrough Weekend teaser trailer - on Vimeo - HD Breakthrough Weekend teaser trailer on YouTube Indiewire ::

Indie/art/foreign movies are alright, but the real entertainment (& of course "the truth", disguised under space monster make up) is in Sci-Fi (or SyFy) channel movies. Film Flap's got a brief post (with a link) re: writing a script for a Sci-Fi Channel movie, check it out .

N.O.U. forever baby :) From 1991, WDC:

Saw it, liked it, somewhat funny, well made. And here's the link to a glowing review of the first 3 episodes . Looking forward to checking out the next episode. - Sujewa

The part of Brooklyn I live in is mostly Latin American immigrant families & Asian/Chinese immigrants & then there's me - but no Jason Schwartzman & Zach Gilifianakis & Jonathan Ames looking/type of dudes here (well, there maybe a couple, but not many here yet) - but, regardless, Bored to Death looks funny. Watch out ladies, quirk is back. Go here to get the links to see the pilot episode of the show for free - right now - it's like Sunday night came five days early, and you don't even need HBO for this freebie. Alright, I am off to check it out . - Sujewa

While discussing capitalism vs. socialism with Chuck in an earlier post ( re: Moore's doc Capitalism ), I found this 1993 document - The Failure of Socialism and Lessons for America . In it, the reason for failure of socialist economies are briefly explained: "Earlier in this century, the Austrian economists demonstrated that socialist planning would fail. Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek showed clearly and irrefutably that when private property was nationalized and market competition eliminated, economic irrationality would result. In a market economy, the way people convey information to each other about the products they wish to demand — and the value they place on the various resources that can be used in alternative ways to make those goods — is through the price system. But with the elimination of private property, people are no longer able legally to buy and sell; and with no free-market buying and selling, there can be no competitively formed market prices. An...

So Michael Moore has a new movie - a documentary - coming out soon, called Capitalism: A Love Story . Sounds like it is incorrectly titled (probably on purpose, to get the maximum number of people interested in it) - sounds like Moore's target in this doc is not capitalism but corruption in the financial sector. Fine, great subject to talk about - knowing being half the battle & all. But why call the film capitalism? Possibly for two reasons - either Moore believes that all business activity in the US is corrupt or he wants to sell his movie to people who equate capitalism/creating & operating businesses with corruption. So, much remains to be seen re: the doc. In the meantime, here's a quote from Variety's review of the pic : "Unfortunately, elsewhere, Moore strives so hard to manipulate viewers' emotions with shots of crying children and tearjerking musical choices that he's not so much over-egging the pudding as making an omelet out of it. Whil...

First, a little bit about the benefits of capitalism , from Wikipedia : "Many theorists and policymakers in predominantly capitalist nations have emphasized capitalism's ability to promote economic growth, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), capacity utilization or standard of living . This argument was central, for example, to Adam Smith 's advocacy of letting a free market control production and price, and allocate resources. Many theorists have noted that this increase in global GDP over time coincides with the emergence of the modern world capitalist system. [85] [86] While the measurements are not identical, proponents argue that increasing GDP (per capita) is empirically shown to bring about improved standards of living, such as better availability of food, housing, clothing, and health care. [87] The decrease in the number of hours worked per week and the decreased participation of children and the elderly in the workforce have been attributed to capita...
