Farewell, David
BILL: As you know, l’m quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology… The mythology is not only great, it’s unique.
THE BRIDE: How long does this shit take to go into effect?
BILL: About two minutes, just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there’s the superhero and there’s the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he’s Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn’t become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he’s Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red “S”, that’s the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears – the glasses, the business suit – that’s the costume. That’s the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He’s weak… he’s unsure of himself… he’s a coward. Clark Kent is Superman’s critique on the whole human race…
We live in public

He used his dot-com millions to fund experimental art projects — surveillance-themed works that seemed to anticipate today’s over-sharing Internet culture of blogs, Twitter and social-networking sites. Mr. Harris installed 32 cameras in the loft he shared with his girlfriend.

Hitchcock portfolio, fotografía by Vanity Fair
En su número de Marzo del año pasado, la revista Vanity Fair se planteo capturar el suspense de un montaje de los clásicos de Hitchcock. Fotos de Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem o Seth Rogen, participando de unos sets cuidadosamente montados para recrear la magia de algunos de los míticos rodajes del ingles que mejor supo tejer fobias e intrigas, trasladándolas al celuloide. Julian Broad, Norman Jean Roy, Mark Seliger, y Art Streiber al otro lado de la lente, ahí es nada.
La lista completa incluye a Casey Affleck, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard, Robert Downey Jr., Ben Foster, Jodie Foster, Emile Hirsch, Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, James McAvoy, Omar Metwally, Gwyneth Paltrow, Seth Rogen, Eva Marie Saint, Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts, Tang Wei, y Renée Zellweger…
