No blogging today… Busy publishing!
The new issue of Just Above Sunset, the parent site to this web log, was just posted – just before midnight, Pacific Time.
In this issue?
Chasing the Zeitgeist: In the current events items the national topic of conversation turns from matters of class to the hot press scandals, to the blunt Scotsman saying extraordinary things in Washington, to bad news on how the war is going, to Saddam in his underwear, then to the First Lady flying off to the Middle East to try to make things all better. Some week!
The long feature article is on dinosaurs – but really on popular culture in general. And of course the new Star Wars movie gets some attention, along with the unlucky parachutist who jumped from the Eiffel Tower. In these, Ric Erickson, editor of MetropoleParis, has a great deal to add – Our Man in Paris appears in all these, rather than in his usual weekly column. Other features include an item on bloggers and the business side of the news business, and quotes about the end of the world.
Don Smith of Left Bank Lens has two pages of extraordinary photographs – the Paris tourists miss. In 1966 Gore Vidal and Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay for the movie Is Paris Burning? – but who needs them? Don has better stuff.
Bob Patterson is back ? with more on talk radio, and doing his paparazzi thing. Yes, that means exclusive photos of movie stars!
This week’s local photography takes you to the Lethal Weapon house in the Hollywood Hills, and the bizarre botanicals series continues.
New this week? Corrections – people quoted clarify what they really said. And there is a new thirty-two item photo album of Hollywood custom cars – what didn’t fit in last week’s pages.
