Galley Friend A.W. has a pretty rough take-down of Jeff Toobin’s latest piece on the Supreme Court in the New Yorker. Actually, “pretty rough” may not really be accurate. More kind of like this.
My one thought regarding Toobin is that whatever his sins, I’ll always love him for this amazing profile of Martha Stewart, which includes a scene that reaches Labashian heights of awesome:
In an afternoon of conversation, Stewart generally declined to fire back at her tormentors; she has no complaint with the late-night comics, who used to welcome her. “My buddies—Dave, Jay, Conan,” she said with a sigh. “I miss the fun. They have a job to do, they can comment on anybody in a playful way, and I don’t think it’s at all damaging. In other parts of the press, more damaging. In terms of photography, even more damaging.” She’s particularly bothered by the photographs that appear in the Post, which often show her looking haggard and distraught. “The ugliest pictures. And I’m a pretty photogenic person, I mean, and they manage to find the doozies,” she said. Newsweek, too: “They had a list of pictures of people, and the pluses and the minuses of the people’s lives during the year. And it said next to mine, ‘If she had been nicer to people on the way up, they’d be nicer to her on the way down.’ I’ve never not been nice to anybody.”
When we took a lunch break, it was clear that the wounds of the past year ran deep. After I admired the silver chopsticks that had been set out, Stewart said, “You know, in China they say, ‘The thinner the chopsticks, the higher the social status.’ Of course, I got the thinnest I could find.” After a pause, she added, “That’s why people hate me.”
Just dazzling.

It strikes me that you could do a lot worse making an indie film for $10K. Even the title is gold.

From this perspective, a Facebook share is more akin to a network ad. This doesn’t mean it’s useless, but no one is valuing Time Warner or Disney at 30 times their trailing revenue.Even Google, which gives advertisers exactly what they pay for, is only valued at 5.5 times trailing revenue.

He just keeps getting awesomer.
Update: Galley Friend G.R. has some very interesting thoughts about the different effects of piracy on the music and film industries over at National Review. Worth your valuable time.
Update 2: Per Galley Friend P.G., here’s G.R. over at the Atlantic, too.
