This week’s issue of the New York Times Magazine is deemed the Screen Issue, and I will venture to say that they could have done a lot better than a photograph of Jennifer Anniston (who I assume nobody really cares about) for its cover. In any case, there’s an interview with her of no particular interest, and also a far superior one with David Lynch, the legendary director. A.O. Scott, the Times film critic, writes about the effect of the new media—iPods, DVRs, BitTorrent, etc.—on cinema as a whole. Elsewhere, William Safire makes his choice for word of the year: frugalista, which is apparently defined as “a person who lives a frugal lifestyle but stays fashionable and healthy by swapping clothes, buying secondhand, growing own produce, etc.”
