Good one! Thanks for posting that, John. I love those flow-charty things.

Hmm ... I wonder if someone could do one about BBM.

So you're Ennis Del Mar, deciding whether to spend time with Jack Twist. Do you have the girls for the weekend? Yes -----> No -----> ... When you're out on the pavement, is everybody lookin at you? Yes -----> No ------> ... Do you have to work? Yes -----> No -------> ... Is it August? Yes -----> No -----> ... How about November? Yes -----> No ----->

New York Magazine 's Year End Wrap-Up


A Very, Very Big Year
In 2010, over-the-top was often just right.

By Adam Sternbergh
Published Dec 5, 2010


If you were to gather the culture stars of 2010 in a room and ask them to retroactively pitch their biggest ideas, it would sound like an inmate’s meeting at an asylum for the delusionally grandiose....Yet if there was one thread that connected the highlights (and a few failures) of the last year, it was this: the Grand Gesture, the Big Gamble, the all-out Swing for the Fences....




Inception
Here’s an idea: Why not follow up your sure-thing, box-office-topping Batman movie The Dark Knight  with a convoluted, complicated, based-on-nothing-but-your-own-twisted-imagination thriller with a title that sounds like a movie about IVF treatments? Yet Warner Bros. gambled $160 million on Christopher Nolan’s Inception,  the only 2010 summer blockbuster that wasn’t a sequel, a franchise, or a reboot. It made $823 million globally.
