- mapping america’s netflix rentals

Promo for the Purim show at 92Y Tribeca*, via Design Observer: *-I’ve never understood why they keep the 92Y branding. Tribeca is nowhere near 92nd. The geographic center in my brain hurts.

A Hindi film titled Ghajini is set for release over here this weekend with an exciting plot: a man with anterograde amnesia tries to hunt down his lover’s murderer(s).

- objectified: the new film from gary hustwit
Gary Hustwit, the documentary filmmaker who brought us the most excellent Helvetica, has a sorta-sequel: Objectified! Objectified is a documentary about industrial design; it’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them.
