"what are the defining factors that help you decide what project you're going to take?"
The Social Network (2010): "You don't get scripts like that every day. You don't get a studio coming to you saying, 'We just fucking love this script. Let's make it into a movie.' So often people are mitigating against the disaster or trying to cover the downside and saying, 'Well, OK, look, the script is great, but...' ['Can you make something out of it?'] Yeah. I mean, 'Who can you get who will make us feel good about the investment?' And when you come back and you say, 'How about Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield and Armie Hammer, and Justin Timberlake?' They go, 'That sounds great!' You can't turn that stuff down."

Men Fashion
WOMEN shop, men stockpile. That’s one theory, anyway, of how men buy clothes differently from women... Here, stylish New Yorkers reflect on their wardrobe hoarding.
PAUL SEVIGNY, D.J., NIGHT-LIFE IMPRESARIO
For a time, A.P.C. was making great cotton underwear, but then the weight went up, to probably twice as thick. Armor Lux, another French brand, makes these blue-and-white striped boxer briefs. Every time I go to Paris, I go to about four different stores that I know carry them and buy every single pair that they have. Sometimes 20 or 30 pairs.
NY Times: Men Shop In Bulk
I just ordered a pair of the above gloves to use with my iPhone, and thought it would be something you'd be interested in as well. Through they're listed for $19.99, when I went to check out they were going for $11.99. So not a bad deal. And hopefully they're well made. Find them here.

FOR MANY FILM CRITICS, film historians, and filmmakers, Robert Bresson is the alpha and the omega of cinema. Marguerite Duras said that watching one of his movies was like seeing film for the first time. Such claims continue to resonate with each generation that discovers Bresson. While his narratives and themes are powerful, the real thrust of the Bresson experience has to do with each film’s primordial engagement with images, sounds, and the rhythms that pulsate between them, as if one’s eyes and ears were being summoned to a singular feast arranged for no other guests. As this suggests, Bresson sought, increasingly, to purge the medium of its dependence on what he believed were the excesses of narrative cinema—professional actors, dramatically constructed scenes, and redundant dialogue. His aim was to shed everything that obstructed the essence of the work in order to make revelatory action the heart of every shot and the motive for every cut.
ArtForum: Model Director
