Todays links of interest:

  • Lindsay Lohan As Marilyn Monroe: Five Outtakes
    This prompts the existential question: if we get them a couple of days later, do they really count as outtakes? Is anybody looking at the photos online — far far far more than will ever buy the mag — going to make the distinction between the official shoot and the outtakes? Meanwhile, we still don’t have any outtakes from either "Annie Hall" or "Exile on Main St."
  • How the co-creator of My So-Called Life launched the Web series quarterlife
    "My So-Called Life" is a TV show for the ages, but when when I was at the age of the people in "quarterlife," I thought that "thirtysomething" was whiny and preachy, and now that I’m somewhat past thirtysomething, I think the same about "quarterlife." And, also, he pitches that there be even less consistency in web site design standards than there currently is. Perhaps he should put some of that design energy into making "quarterlife" more, you know, interesting.
  • FCC upholds ‘NYPD Blue’ ruling
    No surprise here: it wasn’t like the FCC was going to come back a month later and say "Golly, we were wrong."
  • N.J. college under lockdown following bomb threat
    We’re very lucky to have gone to college during a time when the most exciting thing to happen on campus was the annual visit from Brother Jed and Sister Cindy.
  • Michael K Williams: Omar Never Scares
    Nice long in-depth interview with Michael K. Williams, who plays Omar on "The Wire."
  • Convert Your HD DVDs to Blu-Ray
    A how-to Wiki for those who, you know, chose wrong. (Thanks, William, for the link!)
  • Clinton says Obama relies on ‘words’
    Apparently, she’d prefer stick figures.
