In light of today’s comments from maura, youngmanhattanite and spiers regarding GossipCop.com, I find this tweet from actress Kristen Bell particularly interesting.

BRICK CITY premieres one month from today - Sept. 21st @ 10p e/p - on Sundance Channel. I’ve seen the first episode, and can honestly say I haven’t seen a show this intense, gritty and inspiring in a long time.

Created and directed Mark Benjamin and Marc Levin and executive produced by Forest Whitaker, BRICK CITY is a five-night documentary special event that captures the daily drama of the citizens and mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory A. Booker, as they fight to raise the city out of nearly a half century of violence, poverty and corruption.

For more about the show, check out the minisite and Facebook page, and follow @sundancechannel on Twitter.

Here are your chances to see PASSING STRANGE - for the first time or again. Spike Lee, Stew, Heidi & cast will be at the 6:15 and 9:20 showings tonight.

I say turn your health into a social game like Foursquare. Check in when you take your meds, go to the gym, walk to work, and eat like Michael Pollan. Tie this to your insurance premiums. In fact, I say turn life into one big game with various levels. Make the mundane fun. We’ve got the beginnings of the technology to do it. And I’m glad there are people like Dennis and Naveen who are there to show us how it’s done.

Ideas aren’t real estate. They grow collectively and that knocks out the egotistical loneliness that generally infects art.

Okay, who is Crazy Eyes in the upper right corner, and Mean Eyes in the upper left, and Icey Eyes above Ben? Boone is there, but not Shannon? And where’s Claire?!?

A) I love that someone has actually registered this domain.
B) I love what they are doing with it.

Their deaths make me feel old, but more than that, they make me aware of belonging to a generation that has yet to figure out adulthood, for whom life can feel like a long John Hughes movie. You know the one. That Spandau Ballet song is playing at the big dance. You remember the lyrics, even if it’s been years since you heard them last. This is the sound of my soul. I bought a ticket to the world, but now I’ve come back again. Why do I find it hard to write the next line?

I know I’m 10 days late to the memorial, but this still hurts my heart.
And I don’t even like Spandau Ballet.
