“Remake.” If the very word fills your guts with hate, gurgling like a pre-vomit spasm of acute film-related displeasure, you best not read on. Yes, someone is allegedly remaking the 2000 Christian Bale-starring movie classic based on the 1991 Bret Easton Ellis-penned fiction classic. Barf. Here’s why… Read more »
The George Washington Bridge is 80-years-old and desperately in need of some major surgery. Every cable on the span needs to replaced, a process which typically happens after 70 years and the Port Authority has green-lighted $15 million to get the renovations started. It’s part of a $1 billion plan to overhaul the bridge and is expected to take eight years, pushing its suspender ropes far beyond their expiration date. (Photo: Andrew Fleming/flickr)

Some people might think that this sociographical map of New Jersey is not funny, racially insensitive, “unfortunate” and shows “the worst possible side of things,” but Reddit enjoyed it so much that Rutgers University graduate/research assistant Joe Steinfeld has come forward as the creator. While New Yorkers are fine with observing Jersey from over here, this gent is all up in there, supposedly, so he’s going to tell you which are the parts for “Executives living in mansions with Mercedes Benzes,” “Sad black people and misguided tourists” and “Russians, Polacks and Toxic Fume” (ahem!) and also “Where they filmed Clerks.” (Click to enlarge) Read more »

Madrid’s light art crew Luzinterruptus has unleashed 75 mock surveillance cameras to intimidate the street posters of campaigning politicians to protest “the markets, loaded with unlimited power” that overthrow ” legitimate governments, imposing in their place a race of technocrats of suspect past.” Right. What they said, but boy, we could surely have used this little herd to stage an opposition protest to the NYPD’s super-surveillance network. Line ‘em up in the subway like a citizen army for a little cameras vs. cameras insurrectionist intervention? (Photos: Gustavo Sanabria/Luzinterruptus)
For the 15th issue of Schön! magazine, photographer Pierre Dal Corso and his alluringly androgynous muse, Lorena, mix eroticism with taxidermy to create a sensually simplistic editorial that almost makes you forget about all the dead animal props. Not that it matters, since the lonely huntress in her primal state is the ultimate trophy in this collection. Check it. NSFW.
The premise is simple. Go to different areas of the city and ask people: What are you doing tonight? Read more »
With the possibility of a ban on carriage horses gaining momentum, will the city start seriously considering alternatives like antique-style electric cars? Since putting drivers out of work or suddenly cutting off the flow of revenue the cruelish industry mainly supported by tourists generates is out of the question, these vehicles could be a way to appease both sides (except for the carriage owners whose stables are sitting on valuable property and are therefore motivated to maintain the status quo). But hopefully this can all be sorted out and the only breakdowns in the future are mechanical ones, cause this kind is just not pretty.
