The Art of Pixar: The Complete Color Scripts and Select Art from 25 Years of Animation
Anyone who doesn’t love Pixar movies is either blind or irrevocably bitter. The stories, the humor, the emotion, the animation… I have been thoroughly charmed by every Pixar film I’ve ever seen (though I thought Cars was an anomalous misfire). My personal favorites are Toy Story (all of them), Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up and Wall-E. Beyond the astounding technical achievement and gold standard of animation for which Pixar has become so well known, the movies excel on the … Continue reading

Steve Jobs on 60 Minutes
Back in 2004, Steve Jobs asked writer Walter Isaacson to write a biography on him. Isaacson was given unprecedented access to Jobs, who encouraged the author to talk to both friends and foes, and to cover both the good and the bad. The book, titled “Steve Jobs,” was published by Simon & Schuster and released on Monday (October 24). CBS’s 60 Minutes devoted last Sunday’s entire show to Jobs and his biographer.

David Byrne blows up the world (under the High Line) (@NYMag) My favorite New York eclecticist, David Byrne, has created a temporary installation under the High Line at 25th Street: a blown-up globe, like a giant beach ball version of the globes on which we learned geography in school, stuffed under a section of the High Line. The temporary installation, called Tight Spot, includes an audio feature (of course) also created by DB. It will be in place until October … Continue reading
