Movies.ie: Jason Bateman Interview for Horrible Bosses & Arrested Development

And what of the Arrested Development movie. It's been about to go into production for five years now, ever since the TV series ended...?

Like an awful lot of movies, it's still in pre-production. Mitch Hurwitz has the script, and it's all about signing on the dotted line basically.

Why do I even bother? This movie is turning into an X-Files "I Want To Believe" thing.

I'll just keep singing 'Here We Go Again' to myself.

Rare John McPhee Interview

At Paris Review: John McPhee, The Art of Nonfiction No. 3 (long)

[Via MR]

Though like many writers, I find that Mr. McPhee has trouble ending his books. They are either annoyingly abrupt or come at you with a newly taken "I don't really like to but..." tone.

Liz Phair Is So Hot Right Now

And I mean that as in hottie.

Enough to make a 31 yr old Canadian woman write "I’m trying not to be distracted by how stunning she is". See WalrusMag: Still Standing 6’1″

Another interview in SPIN: Tough Questions for Liz Phair
The press materials for Funstyle refer to you as a MILF. Is that a badge of honor?
I would say, yeah.

CoS: Petite and astonishingly fresh-faced, Phair is a small, blonde package with a load of personality. She’s giggly, kind, inquisitive and unguarded. She’s the type of person to tap you lightly on the shoulder and really engage you with whatever insightful thing she’s going to tell you. A good trait to have in anyone, let alone a rock star who, at this point in their long career, reserves the right to be jaded and cynical.

I Have Always Admired Judge Posner

First in the 1990's when I first read his work. Now as an author for The Atlantic.

His writing is prolific yet clear.

He's also a realistic libertarian. And when the facts could not support his opinion he then changed his opinion. Which is difficult. I went through a similar transformation politically. But I am not as smart as Judge Posner so I cannot explain it as well.
