Hill writes and directs in-joke and insider-laden spoof about a nice-guy mega-star actor hiding a drug addiction, whose career is threatened when he’s blackmailed over a compromising video The famous paparazzi shot of Keanu Reeves sitting alone on a bench spawned “sad Keanu” ; this comedy gives us “sad asshole Keanu”. It’s a Hollywood in-joke, in a film written and directed by Jonah Hill who has persuaded his actor mates to appear, including Reeves, who plays Reef Hawk, one of the most well-known actors in the world. Like Reeves, he has a reputation for being Hollywood’s nicest celebrity: kind, humble, possibly vegan. But under the saintly exterior, Reef is a narcissist recovering from a messy heroin addiction, which has been covered up for years by his crisis lawyer Ira (played by Hill with a shaved head and terrifying veneers). The plot is a whodunnit without a body. Reef is being extorted by persons unknown who claim to have a video of him in a compromising situation. Ira tries to work out what’s in the video (“Have you ever killed anyone? I’m not a judgy person.”) Hill’s dialogue is straight from Hollywood’s inner sanctum, and his script, co-written with Ezra Woods, is frequently though not consistently hilarious. At the bidding of his lawyer, Reef sets off to apologise to everyone he’s ever wronged and to sniff out the blackmailer. His two best friends from high school, played by Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer, tag along. Continue reading...

A content creator in Washington. An undergrad at Stanford. A former math teacher turned homeschool mom in Texas.

You might think of puzzling as leisurely, but it’s now a sport. Here’s what I discovered when I entered an immensely friendly competition A PhD student in Berkeley. A 12-year-old in Texas. A content creator in Washington. An undergrad at Stanford. A former math teacher turned homeschool mom in Texas. After a three-day competition in Atlanta, Georgia, these people became national champions for a burgeoning hobby: speed jigsaw puzzling. I have been a lifelong jigsaw puzzle lover. But in recent years, I have observed the quintessential way to slowly pass time transform into a competitive sport. So I traveled to the USA Jigsaw Nationals to test my skill against the best puzzlers in the country. Continue reading...

If there's one thing I know about Microsoft after covering the company for more than 20 years, it's that it will always respond to a competitive threat. Apple's MacBook Air convinced Microsoft and Intel to launch thin and light laptops with the Ultrabook initiative, the iPad pushed Microsoft to create its own tablet hardware, and the threat of Chromebooks saw Microsoft try to match the security and simplicity of ChromeOS with S mode versions of Windows. A history of fast follows (and my own sources) tells me that Apple's $599 MacBook Neo announcement last month will force Microsoft to seriously improve Windows. A lot of changes are imminent … Read the full story at The Verge.
