After a few epic-size Hollywood films (Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean's Eleven), director Steven Soderbergh has gone small. Full Frontal, his terrific new movie, is intimate and innovative. It boasts rules of Dogma-like rigor: the budget was $2 million; the shoot took just three weeks; most of it was photographed (by the director) on video; the stars were responsible for their own makeup; no limos or trailers were allowed. He also constructed a Chinese box of a film-within-a-film-within-a-film. The result is his liveliest experiment since the strenuously weird Schizopolis six years...

Making and marketing includes a storyboard for the gangland adventure Grand Theft Auto taken straight from from the studio wall, which leads...
Some people hate Adrian Tomine's work. All they see are cute girls and angsty-guys in short, enigmatic portraits of the West Coast's slowly-aging Generation X. But they don't get it.

It was soon picked up by the classy Canadian publisher Drawn and Quarterly, and the company has just collected the last four issues into a gorgeous hardcover, "Summer Blonde" (132 pp.; $24.95). The dust jacket, with...
...Internet bubble started showing its first signs of collapse so did Kozmo’s business plan. The company instituted a minimum order of $10 (how many Sour Patch Kids is that again?) and before gasping its last breath, finally started charging for delivery. Harvard kids returned to 7-Eleven in droves, and in April 2001, Kozmo made its final delivery way, way behind schedule: 1,100 pink slips...
