Page One: Inside The New York Times - Documentary Trailer

/

This trailer feels confused. The producers spent a year at the paper during a crucial time in media. It will be interesting to see if the documentary captures what the vision of The Times is during this period.

Tina Fey shows Google's Eric Schmidt who is really wearing the Bossypants

/

Tina Fey is smart, really smart. Tina Fey is funny, really funny. This becomes evident when she delivers a smart truth with such wit and aplomb that you don't notice it is sneaking into your brain while you are laughing.

Here Fey talks with Google's Executive Chairman (and former CEO) Eric Schmidt about her management style, the rules of creativity, and her new book Bossypants.

We recommend the book very much and in particular we recommend the audiobook, read by Tina herself making the text extra funny.
