...factory, “8 Mile” is about battle rapping, a world that had never before been explored in a Hollywood film. “Get Rich,” on the other hand, is another story about hustling out of the hood through the coke game. It’s “Belly” without the alluring music-video gloss and “Paid In Full” without the realness. The problem with 50’s character Marcus is the same problem I’m starting to see in 50 himself...
...fatter have left the Mouse House. In their wake they leave a filthy trail of Lays potato chip bags, Diet Coke cans, and enough Oscar gold to fund another CIA-backed military coup in Guatemala.Going into the details (a long, absurd capitalist saga) of the Weinstein brothers’ departure from Disney is useless at this point. Essentially, the nightmare couldn’t have lasted much longer. Money-grubbing ex-nerd testosterone receptacles like Michael Eisner were fated to have a rocky relationship with Bob & Harvey Weinstein. Harvey yelled at or sat on people who irritated him too much...
...tarts emblazoned in my heart. That’s why her new video, “Beat of My Heart,” is especially poignant. Hilary was once so normal, so vaguely blonde and portly. Now she looks like she is in the later stages of a voracious coke addiction and is dating a 26-year-old who wears eyeliner. It is, omg, so sad.My disappointment is particularly acute because “Beat of My Heart” originally got my hopes up. The video starts with a picture of an actual beating heart; tangible metaphors clearly explicated...
...what if they could actually watch our brains work as they test their products? A recent experiment by Read Montague, a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine, may be laying the groundwork for just that. In an experiment last year, he scanned volunteers' brains as they drank samples of Coke and Pepsi. When the colas were not identified, the tasters showed no particular preference for either. But when they were shown the iconic red-and-white label, they expressed a huge preference for Coke, irrespective of which cola they were actually sampling. Coke's logo, the scans showed...
...ready for an Era of the Brain. New scanning techniques are making it easier to determine how our minds work and creating hopes in the corporate world that companies can make new connections with customers--and duplicate the Coke effect. The breakthrough behind all that is the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the latest in neuroimaging technology, which displays not only the structure of the brain but also how it actually functions, by measuring its blood flow. In the scans, specific areas of the brain light up as various mental processes occur. Although the technology is still...
