For the avid Sellers fan, this is the jackpot—the pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow. The Peter Sellers Story UNCUT: As He Filmed It, a very rare 3 hour version (not 90 min condensed rebroadcast version). Using a unique collection of his own home movies shot between 1948 and 1977 and discovered years after his death, this film presents an intriguing and intimate portrait of Peter Sellers. Told in his own words, and including many well-known personalities from Stanley Kubrick, Sophia Loren and Robert Wagner to members of the Royal Family, in particular Princess Margaret and Prince Charles, this revealing film builds a fascinating and definitive record of a unique genius.

The derivatives exchange bought the New York Stock Exchange. So the New York Stock Exchange was purchased by its own abstraction. And the New York Stock Exchange was already an abstraction of commerce. Which was already an abstraction of culture. So what’s happening is we’re creating new and greater and better and more abstract abstractions in order to squish more time into this teeny little thing. Because what are we doing? What’s the real story here? We’re trying to extend the obsolete agendas of the industrial age into the digital age.

Worse than that, you don’t even make any money!
Jason Calacanis on journalists:
They have no chance of making big money in their jobs… they don’t have the balls to create something.
This is exactly what’s wrong with America. Your measure of worth is your ability to make a profit rather than telling the truth.
A roller coaster that was plunged into the Atlantic Ocean after Superstorm Sandy ripped through the Jersey Shore last October and became a symbol of the devastation was being demolished Tuesday afternoon.
The partially submerged Jet Star coaster was once a popular destination at Casino Pier, an amusement park in Seaside Heights, N.J. But when Sandy ravaged the Jersey shoreline, destroying parts of the pier, the coaster tumbled into the ocean.
