The not so Great Gatsby

The online absence of life...

cubbie123: This photo of HBO’s Hung Star Thomas Jane, shot by Jill Greenberg, was taken for V-Man‘s “Risk” issue, but not published. A khaki suit was ordered for the shoot, but Greenberg had no interest in doing a straight fashion image, so decided to create an homage to Robert Mapplethorpe’s infamous Man in the Polyester Suit photograph. This image was eventually published in American Photography 28.

amyohconnor: I first watched The Royal Tenenbaums when I was twelve years old. It immediately became my film – a film I could revisit over and over again and gain a deeper appreciation for on each viewing. At least twenty viewings later and The Royal Tenenbaums is still a source of pleasure and comfort for me. That I am a fan of Wes Anderson’s films is a surprise only because I tend to run a mile from anything that could be characterized as “twee”. However, I feel like there is a pure and sincere quality to Wes Anderson’s storytelling that enables his films to transcend that label and ultimately win the hearts of skeptics like me. Don’t get me wrong - I get why people don’t like Wes Anderson films or why they may be weary of his aesthetic. But I love the guy unabashedly and will defend him to my grave.
