The price is wrong because the knowledge behind it is incomplete.” I finished answering the question my economics professor had posed to the class, one that no one else had managed to satisfy him with. I wasn’t entirely sure this was the response he’d been fishing for, but I knew one thing for certain. Everything I’d said was factually correct. “Perfect!”…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

December 2010, USA Patty stared at her screen restlessly, refreshing the page every few seconds. “You know, refreshing the page won’t change the timer,” Claire commented idly from behind her. “The video will still be released in ten minutes. No need to keep refreshing it.” Patty turned to her friend, a little incensed. “Do you have any idea how long it’s been since one of Troy’s songs was released? And this time it’s with Rihanna. ‘Closer’ and ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

How the hell would he play Josh? He's too... cool. I need a lovable nerd for that role, not a guy who spends half his time at the gym. He could play Christian if he wanted to. Maybe even Elton, but Josh? Hell no. Ugh. Not again. I was already starting to hate the casting industry. Brad Pitt was undoubtedly one of the most handsome men of this era, yet I didn't see casting directors turning him down for roles. So why did my appearance irk them so much? I realized my mistake as soon as I looked down…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

The production of the third and fourth Potter films was finally underway with Alfonso Cuaron helming the joint project. I couldn’t be happier with the turn of events because Cuaron was one of my favorite directors of all time. Each and every one of his movies is created with a passion that is rarely seen in filmmakers today, where more focus is placed on the commercial performance than the art. From what I could recall, my favorite film of his was . The dystopian world he created was a marvel of modern…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

June 2004, Pittsburgh, PA, USA“I’m a little nervous about the shoot today, Troy,” Emma said softly while sitting beside me. “I don’t think this role is suitable for me.”“Nonsense,” I shot down her insecurities. “It is unsuitable for you only if you think that.”Emma didn’t say anything for a few moments. “I saw the replay of the first week of filming.
