Photographer Catches Jets-Loving Thief on Filmnew
When photographer Eric Spiegel's prescription sunglasses were stolen last month, it could have turned into just another D.C. grab-and-run. But unlike most victims, Spiegel had an advantage—he caught the alleged culprit, an apparent fan of the New York Jets, on film.

Argo: Screen capturenew
How dedicated is director Ben Affleck to capturing 1979 in his splendid new film, the political thriller Argo? He makes sure that the Warner Bros. studio logo that fills the screen at the beginning isn't the glossy WB shield that's instantly recognizable to today's audiences but is instead the old-school W made up of three parallel lines against an oval backdrop. It's a tiny detail — even an irrelevant one — but it demonstrates how thoroughly Affleck has committed himself to his third directorial effort.

20 Greatest Non-Hits by the Rolling Stonesnew
Everyone knows that the Rolling Stones are a bunch of greedy amoral bastards. (Pick your anecdote from rock lore to illustrate this fact.) The geezers keep flogging their fame into the 21st century, long past sell-by date of their flesh and musical inspiration. Do they need to tour and release more memoirs to make more millions? It hardly seems like it, yet they've been doing it for 50 years now, and they probably don't know what else to do with themselves.
