reblogged from eveholt:
It looks like they spent more time on Lil’ Orphan Voldie as opposed to splitting it equally with the crazy hillblly inbred Gaunts, who aren’t in the movie at all apparently.
Also, Fenrir Greyback better be in this eating some Weasley face.
Oh. Hell. Yes.

New Dylan
I tried to post the new Bob Dylan song here, but the file was too big. The song, “Dreamin’ Of You,” is being given for free on his website, bobdylan.com.

The Photographs Not Taken →
Compiled by Will Steacy, “The Photographs Not Taken” is a collection of essays by photographers about the times they didn’t use their camera. This collection is a series of photographs not taken with a camera, but, instead, lived and remembered.” The stories are great, but unfortunately you can no longer look through the archives. I don’t know what that’s...

Gilliam to tilt at windmills again →

Facebook's new face
I’m on the fence about the new Facebook layout. I like that the tabs make everything cleaner—no more scrolling past a million stupid application boxes just to get to the bottom of a profile (although I do miss the big picture of Klaus Kinski that I put up on mine). The applications are now under the “Boxes” tab. What I don’t like is that the default tab is...

Joe, shot with my amazingly inexpensive 50mm f/1.8 lens
My Canon 30D is my most prized possession. I love that camera as much as is possible for a human being to love an inanimate object without being crazy. Up until April the only lens I had for it was the one I picked up when I bought the camera body, a heavy, clunky 17-85mm that has served me very well over the past two years but can be...

I just bought a brand new Diana+ for five dollars at a yard sale. The girl selling it didn’t have the instruction manual or any of the accessories that come with, so I’m going to have to wing it. This should be an adventure.

Lilly McElroy – “I Throw Myself At Men #1”
Photographs of things that are not supposed to be flying through the air flying through the air have always been cool, but they are currently really popular. I’m not complaining.
Lilly McElroy and Li Wei are my two favorite artists working in the people-flying-through-the-air subcategory right now.

I finally got my hot little hands on that issue of Italian Vogue where all the editorial spreads feature black models. I couldn’t find it because it was sold out everywhere! The copy I bought is a reprint.

CassetteFromMyEx.com
I was born in 1985, and by the time I started dating (I was really old), mixtapes had made way for mix CDs. Nevertheless, I had grown up making and receiving mixtapes, so I tried to make CDs in the same spirit. I still believed in listening to the mix all the way through to make sure it was perfect (although the new technology did not require me to do so). I still believed in fancy, handmade...

Philadelphia
My parents, seen here in 1983 in all of their wedding day glory, are moving to South Carolina in about three weeks. The house is sold, the plans are laid, and they will be leaving Philadelphia, the city in which I was born and raised. They’ve wanted to do this for a long time. So long, in fact, that part of me never thought they’d get around to it. This past weekend I went to Philadelphia,...

A Void
I read two books last week, both of which were excellent: Georges Perec’s A Void and Michael Chabon’s The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Here are my notes on the former. Notes on the latter to follow.
_________________
Georges Perec
A Void, translated from the French by Gilbert Adair, is a mystery novel that does not use the letter “e.” At all. Not once. This means that, in the close to 300 pages...

Twin Peaks
Joe and I finished watching Twin Peaks while in San Diego. Now we just have to watch the movie, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which I made the mistake of seeing and trying to make sense of in high school without having seen the show itself.
The ending was…unsatisfactory, to say the least, because it’s not actually the end of the story. At the time the final episodes were filmed,...

The Dark Knight
What kind of weirdos go to see a Batman movie at six in the morning?
These kind of weirdos. And yeah, it was worth it.
So. The Dark Knight was good. Really good. Super awesome good. A reviewer from Ain’t It Cool News called it “the Godfather of superhero movies,” and he was in no way exaggerating.
I have to go do work now (and yes, I got here on time).

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Just got back to New York. Post/posts about San Diego to come tomorrow. Right now I would just like to remind all you nerds out there that the first part of Joss “I Can Do No Wrong” Wheadon’s new online musical, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is…online. It came out yesterday (yesterday being the 15th) and the second part comes out tomorrow and the third part...
