Interesting article about military forces going through walls to penetrate a city instead of swarming the streets.

…the experience: ‘Imagine it – you’re sitting in your living-room, … where the family watches television together after the evening meal, and suddenly that wall disappears with a deafening roar, the room fills with dust and debris, and through the wall pours one soldier after the other, screaming orders. You have no idea if they’re after you, if they’ve come to take over your home, or if your house just lies on their route to somewhere else. The children are screaming, panicking. Is it possible to even begin to imagine the horror experienced by a five-year-old child as four, six, eight, 12 soldiers, their faces painted black, sub-machine-guns pointed everywhere, antennas protruding from their backpacks, making them look like giant alien bugs, blast their way through that wall?

I sort of crashed a set decorators fundraiser thing on the NY set streets tonight – really just because a favorite taco truck had tweeted that they were there. (omg that sentence was so LA 2010 right?) In this first shot we see Universal managed to physically simulate the clone tool in photoshop.

AKA Meryl Streep, Barnard Commencement Speach 2010. So rare – so refreshing. So perfect – is she ever not? HOW? I’d aspire to be like her but I’ve already failed at that like 100000000 times over, and that was just yesterday. (Via Alexis Arquette’s facebook.)
