What Does Your Favorite Wes Anderson Movie Say About You?
With the advent of Wes Anderson’s latest entry into his compendium of eight—the movie Moonrise Kingdom, out in New York and Las Angeles Friday—there’s enough of a catalog to ensure that there’s one for each of us. So, what’s your favorite Wes Anderson film? You would be amazed at what your preferences say about who you are, at least according to this entirely unscientific but completely authoritative exploration:
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
You like bands that other people like, but you only like their really obscure stuff. When you describe a piece of art or something as “difficult,” you mean it as a compliment. You probably have a graduate degree in something specific or you just work at a used book store. You want to move to Portland but you just haven’t done it yet. Sometimes people call you an asshole and you respond, “All I’m saying is that it’s important to understand what the term ‘craft beer’actually means.” If you’re a straight guy (and you probably are) you have a girlfriend named Cara who is a research assistant and wants to move to France, but not Paris. When you have a kid (not with Cara), it will have, for a first name, the last name of a writer you like. (Maybe Wallace, because you love Infinite Jest.) One summer when you were a kid you spent a month with your cousins at their island house in Maine and something big happened that you never told anyone else.

SNL Needs to Get Over Television
Mick Jagger hosted the finale of Saturday Night Live last weekend, and despite the offbeat paths the show could have followed—maybe an Exile on Main Street parody set in a puke-stained mansion along the French Riviera?—it stuck mostly to satirizing this season’s preferred target: television.
Of the 152 live sketches aired this season, a whopping 58 percent (88 sketches) were television parodies of some sort, whether political debates, game shows, or fake newscasts. Of course, SNLhas skewered television since its inception. As “Baba Wawa,” Gilda Radner gleefully lampooned the popular broadcast journalist’s speech impediment; Dana Carvey’s Church Lady hosted aTonight Show for the devout; Wayne’s World poked fun at amateurish cable access fodder; and even dimwitted Hans and Franz somehow landed an exercise show in which they mainly flexed and chastised their girlie-man viewers. But the world has changed since the days of Baba Wawa, and SNL’s present-day devotion to mocking its own medium feels anachronistic, a lazy holdover that prevents the show from fully satirizing society as it exists today.

SNL needs to sent some time watching the BBC. Even the bad sketch comedy over there is better than the best SNL.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4fozkwXQK1qcokc4o1_500.jpg)

The Shandaken Project is a community-supported residency program on 250 acres of land in upstate New York. They provide free room and board to anybody with a creative practice — writers, artists, curators, and more — to hang out, get to know each other, and make cool stuff. Writer’s block? Residents can also spend time in the communal vegetable garden, growing things like cabbage, kale, leeks, and potatoes. The organization is excited to expand on their project with private studios and new equipment, but attendees are certainly not the only ones who stand to benefit! Backers get curated mixtapes, invitations to a summer BBQ, and pieces of original art. And did we mention? It’s our Project of the Day.
LOOOOOVE the choice of shirt, Lar.
Earlier this evening, Wil Wheaton @wilw, tweeted one of the funnier things I’ve read recently - a conversation between himself and his flatulent dog. Hope you like.
I love everything about this.
