New York loves Heath Ledger;
New York Magazine loves Heath Ledger. I love that it does.
So, see below: New York Magazine's weekly map of visual "taste heirarchies," sometimes snarky, sometimes spot-on. Please note, Heath himself is placed in the upper-right quadrant, very high in "High Brow," and nearly on the edge of the border of "Brilliant." (Please scroll to the right if the image is cut off in the screen.)
Ordinarily this item would go in Bettermost "news" or "magazines," but because the photo is of the 421 Broome Street Memorial, I put it here. Kudos to NYMagazine for caring--it's like a bit of a memorial itself.
(By the way, Maggie Gyllenhaal is coincidentally put on the Matrix this week for performing a reading at Symphony Space. She is also in the Upper-Right Quadrant, of course. While you're looking, please note who and where you see on the LOWest and LEFTest Quadrant, in the corner of Lowbrow and Despicable. Guess Who.)

Re Maggie: I really like Miranda July's short stories.
And: the tutu for men??
Aloysius J. Gleek:
I forgot--another Upper-Right Quadrant person in this week's New York Magazine Approval Matrix: Daniel Day-Lewis.
Very nice.
