I just have two words for you:

GARY OLDMAN.

I watched this about a million times when I was younger.

I know I should pay more attention to the article, but the kitten shirt really scares me. I’m afraid to take my eyes off it in case it attacks…

In this week’s issue, we published “Exorcism,” a long-lost play by Eugene O’Neill. Nickolas Muray, who took the portrait of O’Neill that accompanies the play, was, among other things, Frida Kahlo’s lover, a competitor on the U.S. Olympic fencing team, and a photographer known for shots full of life, joy, and color.

The DOCTOR and Craig Ferguson

This shot doesn’t look so much like a Photoshop as it does a painting. It generated so much buzz that National Geographic actually had to track down photographer Frans Lanting in Africa to explain what’s going on in his photo for the people calling bullshit.
Basically what you’re seeing behind the trees isn’t the sky, it’s a  sand dune (the white blotches are patches of white grass). The colors  look off because the photo was taken at dawn, so the orange dune itself  was bathed in light, while the foreground was still in shadow (that’s  why the white clay of the foreground winds up looking blue, and the  trees look like terrifying silhouettes).

The Woman Who Is Obsessed with Her Career and Is No Fun at All
I  regularly work sixteen hours a day. Yet, like most people I know  who  are similarly busy, I’m a pleasant, pretty normal person. But  that’s not  how working women are depicted in movies. I’m not always  barking orders  into my hands-free phone device and yelling, “I have no  time for this!”  Often, a script calls for this uptight career woman to  “relearn” how to  seduce a man, and she has to do all sorts of crazy  degrading crap, like  eat a hot dog in a sexy way or something. And  since when does holding a  job necessitate that a woman pull her hair  back in a severe, tight bun?  Do screenwriters think that loose hair  makes it hard to concentrate.

- Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor of “The Office”) on one of the many  specimens of women who exist in romantic comedies, but do not exist in  real life. Click here for the rest of Mindy’s guide to women in the movies.
