Music tech predictions for 2009 download crime sci-fi movies

As I said in my 2008 sum-up, people tend to overestimate the amount of change that will happen in one year–which means my best bet for 2009 would be to simply reiterate my almost-there predictions from 2008, like the death of DRM and the decline of the concert industry.

Curbed Cup 2nd Round: (1) High Line District vs. (8) Far West Village AND (5) Red Hook Waterfront vs. (13) Downtown Brooklyn

The Curbed Cup, our annual award to the New York City neighborhood of the year, is taking on a different tone in this, its fifth running. West Village, Long Island City, Williamsburg—they’ve all been done. Instead, we’re mixing things up by focusing on the most newsworthy microneighborhoods. And now, it’s the second round; updated bracket here.

It’s a quiet quasi-holiday Friday, so rather than play it coy and roll out two separate votes for the Curbed Cup, we’re just mashing both polls into this here single post. A quick overview of the matchups: first up, in a Manhattan West Side faceoff, as top seed High Line District—defined as everything under the ancient elevated railroad tracks that run from the Meatpacking District up to 30th Street, and then loop around Hudson Yards—squares off against #8 seed Far West Village (to wit, everything west of Hudson Street). Then, in a Brooklyn battle royale, #5 seed the Red Hook Waterfront jostles with upstart #13 seed Downtown Brooklyn. Refresh your knowledge with neighborhood highlights from the year after the jump, then vote! Twice!

Fortune’s Stanley Bing: Why I like the auto bailout

Many smart people are busy deriding it. There are a host of philosophical, political and economic idealogues, each with a dozen excellent reasons, postulates and theories, backed up by cogent analysis of the first order, riding into battle against it. But it’s going to pass. And I’m glad.

I don’t care if the Detroit business model is wrong right now. I don’t care if their leadership is the biggest bunch of bozos who ever drew breath. The fact is, everybody looks kind of stupid right now, don’t they? In fact, the whole game has changed for just about everybody, no matter what part of the supply chain you’re in. A guy can’t even sell a Senate seat in peace and quiet anymore. And you can’t allow an entire industry to go down because its leadership is lousy, can you? Think where your industry would be if that standard was applied.

So if we’re really gonna bail out the big three in spite of all the good reasons not to, I’m glad, for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with all the good reasons not to.

First of all, people work there. A lot of people. Yeah, they belong to Unions, which are part of the problem and should be punished! Them buy stromectol and their damn high salaries. So tempting to see them whacked around a little, huh? Those super-rich blue buy Zanaflex collar workers with their high-paying Union jobs. Let’s get ‘em! And their families. And their communities. And the stores they shop at. And the schools that their property taxes help to keep going.

Well, I guess if there’s a bailout of some kind, the Unions are going to have to eat some of the salary and benefits they’ve won from Management over the years. They’ll have to, to make the system level again, probably. In the meantime? Bail them out, I say. Each and every one of them. Let’s make sure they don’t lose their homes and feed the vortex of disaster. I don’t care if we’re investing in a broken down model or helping people who make more money than you think they should. I like the idea of several hundred thousand people staying on the job, paying their mortgages, buying flat-screen TVs, shoes and hamburger.

I also like the idea of the Big Three, back in some kind of business now, really having to sell a whole bunch of those ill-considered and very comfortable gas-guzzlers that are so reprehensible and dumb to have built but still, smell very nice when they’re new. Because in order to sell them, they’re going to have to advertise on all the media that are right now sucking the hose and missing the massive chunk of revenue automotive advertising represents. I like to think of all those ads keeping Madison Avenue up nights working, instead of laying people off, and all the television, cable, radio, Internet and other media people running to fill the orders, earning enough bread to purchase one of the idiotic vehicles we really shouldn’t be making.

I like the idea of money being spent on companies that make something other than money, that produce a product other than a financial instrument, and maybe even putting a halt, even temporarily, to the incredible, screaming descent in which we are now engaged.

Finally, I don’t believe anybody’s analysis about anything, frankly. A couple of weeks ago, people were ridiculing the idea of simply printing more money to stablize the economy. Stupid! Boneheads! Simplistic boobies! Yesterday I read a Nobel Prize winning economist who suggested we do precisely that, and cited several excellent sources for his view. He may be right. He may be wrong. Who knows? I do know one thing. I know that nobody knows.

In short, there’s no opinion out there right now that’s worth more than any other. If ignorance was bliss we’d all be tap dancing down Wall Street.

So until we figure out what’s really going on? Let’s try to use the money we have to help the greatest number of people. And let’s start from the bottom, for a change.

In the immortal words of Heidi Klum, “You’re either in, or you’re out.” This week saw a lot of both.

You’re In! • Hearty congrats go out to Slumdog Millionaire and Frozen River, both of which were honored as the Best Film of 2008 this week (by the National Board of Review and Gotham Awards, respectively). • Nostalgia lovers, rejoice! Just this week alone, reboots of Full House, Arthur, Romancing the Stone, and They download horror movies Live! all made headlines (and chances are looking good for Veronica Mars, too!). • Seth MacFarlane was appointed the Smartest Person on TV by Entertainment Weekly. We’re still a little unclear on that one, but good for him! • Everybody loves to be honored by achat de levitra en ligne a jury of his peers. So, if you found yourself admitted to Sundance or on the receiving end for a Grammy or an Independent Spirit Award, please take one step forward and give yourself a round of applause. • It’s tough to find anyone who liked Richard Nixon, but it wasn’t too difficult to find our Top Ten Movie Nixons. • Face it, if you’re in Miami checking out this year’s incarnation of Art Basel, that immediately puts you on the “In” list. • After a valiant call to arms to his nation of disciples, Stephen Colbert managed to complete the nearly impossible task of selling more records than Kanye West. • Is there anything Clint Eastwood can’t do? If you answered “sing,” well, then you’d be wrong!

Amazing race 14

You’re Out!Knight Rider is headed off to the great scrap heap in the sky. • The Great White Way will soon be losing Grease and Boeing Boeing. • Not only did Tina Fey find herself ignominiously coming in second to Seth MacFarlane, but Barbara Walters managed to find and air video of her from her pre-makeover days. Also, the origins of her mysterious scar are no longer mysterious. • Guns N’ Roses finally released Chinese Democracy, but no one actually bought it. • Jonathan Safran Foer got dissed, literary style, by Anya Ulinich. • Valkyrie doesn’t even seem to be trying to get any Oscar nominations these days. • Ellen Page was deni
