‘It’s a Lot of Pressure’: Jesse Eisenberg Reacts to NBR Win, Awards Season

Posted on December 3, 2010 by | Comments Off on ‘It’s a Lot of Pressure’: Jesse Eisenberg Reacts to NBR Win, Awards Season

Thursday afternoon, I met Jesse Eisenberg at a New York City dive bar — coincidentally named “Social” — for a pretty sprawling interview that will publish here next week. As he was en route, he heard the news that he had won the National Board of Review’s Best Actor award for his performance in The Social Network (which also claimed the group’s Best Picture and Best Director prizes). I asked Eisenberg about winning that award and what the awards season — and his real first go around with it — means to him.

Steve Johnson: All Good with God!

Posted on November 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Steve Johnson: All Good with God!

Don’t worry, folks, Steve Johnson and God are BFFs again. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver, who dropped a game-winning touchdown pass on Sunday and then appeared to blame the Big Guy in a hilarious Tweet, sent out another social networking message today and tried to clear things up. We’ve been checking God’s Twitter account for the past few hours, but He’s yet to response to Johnson’s mea culpa. Until He does, see how all this started by watching the video of Johnson’s untimely miscue NOW .

An Inside Look at LA’s Community of Visionary Activists

Posted on November 18, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on An Inside Look at LA’s Community of Visionary Activists

Photo credit: Astig!! / Creative Commons It’s interesting to me that many people judge Los Angeles without really knowing her. She really is the City of Angels. I’ve lived in Los Angeles for going on a dozen years now, and at long last I can affirmatively state that I have found “my tribe.” I’m referring to a group of like-minded people, who I am honored to call my friends and colleagues. These angels possess the qualities that I most admire in people: Social and environmental consciousness, spiritual, activists, c… Read the full story on TreeHugger

A flood of female Facebook users woke up this morning to find their accounts disabled — and the social network demanding government ID to let them back in. Facebook admits there was a problem, but says it’s been fixed. More

Full Frontal Nudity Doesn’t Make Us Safer: Abolish the TSA

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Full Frontal Nudity Doesn’t Make Us Safer: Abolish the TSA

In the spirit of bipartisanship and sanity, I propose that the first thing on the chopping block should be an ineffective organization that wastes money, violates our rights, and encourages us to make decisions that imperil our safety. I’m talking about the Transportation Security Administration. Bipartisan support should be immediate. For privacy advocates, eliminating an organization that requires you to choose between a nude body scan or genital groping in order to board a plane should be a no-brainer. The odds of dying from a terrorist attack are much lower than the odds of dying from doing any of a number of incredibly mundane things we do every day. You are almost certainly more likely to die or be injured driving to the airport than you are to be injured by a terrorist once you’re in the air, even without a TSA. Indeed, once you have successfully made it to the airport, the most dangerous part of your trip is over. Until it’s time to drive home, that is. added by: maasanova

Budget Puzzle: You Fix The Budget

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Budget Puzzle: You Fix The Budget

Today, you’re in charge of the nation’s finances. Some of your options have more short-term savings and some have more long-term savings. When you have closed the budget gaps for both 2015 and 2030, you are done. Make your own plan, then share it online. ~ Cutting anything from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is unfeasible in the real world, so I'd suggest straying from it if you're trying to be realistic. added by: cr00kshanks

It’s time to stop prohibition, enable a free society!

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on It’s time to stop prohibition, enable a free society!

The Flower contrasts a utopian society that freely farms and consumes a pleasure giving flower with a society where the same flower is illegal and its consumption is prohibited. The animation is a meditation on the social and economic costs of marijuana prohibition.

It was a special night for afterhours television.

Meanwhile, Chelsea Handler and Stephen Colbert talked about Katy Perry’s Sesame Street cleavage and Jimmy Fallon helped Law & Order: SVU fans realize their wet t-shirt fantasy.

It’s easy to interpret Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ‘s $100 million donation to Newark schools—officially announced the exact day The Social Network opens the New York Film Festival—as a PR move to counter the film’s negative portrayal of him. More
