The Passenger is the result of about six years spent in a bedroom with a computer. Australian animator Chris Jones began the project back in 1998 as a proposed showreel piece, but then escalated into a full seven minute short film. And now it is available to watch. There is a DVD which includes a stack of special features, or you can check out the much lower resolution YouTube version .

A good story is a powerful thing. It lulls you in. It insinuates its way into the back of the mind and abides there, even when you are not thinking about it. When you get to the end, there is a sense of completion. A journey has been finished. Parts that were separate have been brought together. The back brain can put it to one side and rest. All the above is true of reading a book or watching a movie...

I am proud to announce the publication of the latest in the 89-year tradition that is "The Best Plays Yearbook"--at one time known as the "Burns Mantle Best Plays," when Mr. Mantle was alive and running things. Thankfully Jeffrey Eric Jenkins has kept the tradition going strong. And even more thankfully, he has even engaged me to write for it! For the previous edition (2006-2007)...

I like Peter Bart's brief 11.19 profile of 34 year-old movie financier and Relativity Media honcho Ryan Kavanaugh more than the also-recent one by Chris Jones in Esquire. I prefer Bart's because he mentions that Kavanaugh is "a moderate drinker [whose] driving is sufficiently erratic to provoke occasional run-ins with the cops" and who "can joke about melodramatic relationships with...

I’ve heard of this phenomenon occurring in other stadia, with other players, but have never before witnessed it until this year at LP Field. Fans are literally on the edges of their seats every time Chris Johnson (or Chris Jones, as Keith Olberman called him) is about to touch the ball. When he does, most of those fans [...]
