I’m not really sure how all the fans see Yuuto-kun but he really devotes himself to things. When he gets in a high position, he really seems like he is in that high position. About a month ago he really got into this artist he likes and played it on his speakers for a long time. Then he suddenly closed himself in his room and started really burying his head into rock songs. I thought “this is guy is something!” I was surprised. Just before he goes on stage to perform his tension goes way up. This is his way of getting in that high position. I want him to show me how he does it! It’s amazing! Well of course it’s amazing coming from a guy in such a high position. When he gets like this its completely different from the normal Yuuto-kun. At these times you can see a Yuuto-kun that you can’t see when he sings or performs, when he’s chatting normally, or the cool Yuuto-kun you see in dramas. I don’t think any of the fans can see it. I wish I could convey it. I want to let them see it.

Saying ‘I notice you’re a nerd’ is like saying, ‘Hey, I notice that you’d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you’d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?’ In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even ‘lame’ is kind of lame. Saying ‘You’re lame’ is like saying ‘You walk with a limp.’ Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he’s done all right for himself.

James Turrell’s life’s work in progress, Roden Crater, where he is turning the 400,000-year-old, two-mile-wide natural cinder volcanic crater into a massive naked-eye observatory, is finally set to open next year.
With the support of the Dia Art Foundation and other donors, Roden Crater’s completion may come within a year. Few have seen its progress, some have been fortunate enough to visit the site with Turell’s guidance, while others have found their own way onto the property by trespassing. When Roden Crater opens, it will be an art pilgrimage of a lifetime. via

The Yellow Scale (1907) by Franz Kupka
Here’s what actually happened: When we first met Thierry, he was supposed to be making a movie about Shepard. He was filming Shepard all the time, wherever he went. They made a deal, 50/50, we’ll make a movie. They shot for five years doing this, Shepard in his Spiderman prime, leaping off buildings and stuff. At the end of five years, Shepard says “Alright, let’s put the movie together,” and Thierry said “I’m not giving you the footage.” He’s actually quite smart and can be a little devious-he figured “I just took away five years of your fame,” because in his heart, Thierry always wanted to be the artist. He figured he was messing up his competition, in a way, and holding onto valuable footage. Shepard didn’t quite know what to do and filed a lawsuit against Thierry.
Then Banksy figured “I’m in the same situation, he has tons of footage for me.” He had some of the only footage of Banksy where you could actually see who he was. So he calls up Thierry and said “I’m sending you a first-class ticket to London, get on the plane, I have to talk to you.” That’s when he told Thierry that he would make a movie about him instead, in exchange for the footage, which Thierry turned over to Banksy. That’s when they realized that the footage wasn’t nearly what they thought it might be, but it turns out they did get a different sort of treasure trove, because you’ve got a portrait of this weird guy, Thierry.
Banksy is as smart as people think he is, and then some.

Ron fills in some of the backstory behind how the film Exit Through The Gift Shop came about.
The phrase “win/win” is often over used and under executed in business, but I think this is a pretty flawlessly executed case study of the term.
