Gary Hustwit’s next film: Urbanized.

Travis, Rachel, Wil and Karissa made a movie for this year’s Calgary Film Race.

Referenced at work this morning: I’m Astar, a robot. I can put my arm back on.

Kids, 15 years later. This movie still bothers me.

It seems that in many ways the city seems to have forgotten the film, just as many of those involved in the film also seem happy to forget it. Some might expect some sort of celebration of the 15th anniversary of the film, but few seem to be talking. (Larry Clark’s agent did not respond to inquiries.) Harmony Korine has moved away from the realism of that film’s concept and execution, settling most recently on a bizarre faux-realism in his faux-documentary Trash Humpers. “It was not a movie I was dying to tell,” he has saidof Kids. And our Sassy intern, Chloe Sevigny, has since said that she can’t bear to watch the film, and that she doesn’t like the movie much.

Jon Hamm as Superman? I don’t think I approve. I would still support Jim Caviezel or John Barrowman, but they are both 42 and probably too old at this point.

Load up your Instapaper: The best magazine articles ever. Not that anyone bothered to ask me, but I’ve always liked this piece from Vancouver magazine, which I saw when my wife was a judge for the Western Magazine Awards and not because I scour magazines for stories about hockey goalies. [via]

Implementation is what would have happened if the characters from Inception were management consultants.

“If you fail,” says Watanabe, “you will stay in ‘limbo,’ which means spending the rest of your life developing dynamic solutions for leveraged market-driven global enterprise frameworks across downstream cross-platform industry. If you succeed, I will help you return to your former career as an independent boutique retailer of imported artisanal tapenade.”

A new Between Two Ferns.

Kanye has finally brought his crazy to Twitter. [via]

This is a real thing. I’m not even kidding. It fucking exists! The trailer for, I shit you not, Titanic II.

This is happening right now on Twitter: #wookieleaks.

Ten movies you’ll force your kid to watch someday. I have already forced my kid to watch eight of these.

This year’s Man Booker Prize nominees. I read one of them — The Slap, by Christos Tsiolkas, which I described on Readernaut as “a book entirely about terrible people. I enjoyed it.” In retrospect, it’s actually a book mostly about terrible people. Others are good people who do terrible things.

The red-band trailer for The Virginity Hit, which, somewhat inexplicably, looks kind of brilliant.

The Michael Jackson estate versus Plants vs. Zombies.

The latest update of “Plants vs. Zombies” on iPhone made a change to one of the most recognizable adversaries in the game. Since the game’s launch in 2009, the Dancing Zombie has bared a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson in the “Thriller” music video, complete with red leather jacket, tight, too-short pants and white socks. That all changed with the latest update to “Plants vs. Zombies,” as the Dancing Zombie is now disco themed. Why the change? Apparently PopCap heard from the lawyers of Michael Jackson’s estate.
