Why I Haven’t Requested a Standing Desk at Work

Strangers on a Train…Until There Was a Video Game

Honor Thy Tailgate

‘Boyhood,’ Music, Timehop, and Embarrassing Yourself
Unlike the rest of Richard Linklater’s epic Boyhood, the music was added in post-production. This is an important detail. The movie is littered with cultural timestamps—video games, cell phones, politics—but it’s the music that so deliberately puts you in a time and place. So while Linklater had one shot to… [Read More]
