Closing Bell: The New Yorker's Nod to Brooklyn
Check it out! Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Thursday movie series made the cover of this week’s New Yorker. If you saw this cover already, by the way, and you didn’t recognize immediately that this is a rendering of the weekly movie screening in Dumbo, then you have clearly been spending your Thursday evenings poorly.

i love adrian tomine!
no, i don’t write for the mag. don’t know why i got so testy about it. maybe its because its the only thing i read anymore, which is sad. and the idea of myself as cash-poor, unkempt, slob (all true at the momemt) who is also somehow a snob was too much for me. i agree with infinite jester’s summary.

He is a Brooklynite these days, btw. (Moved here from California.)
The vocabulary in the New Yorker is beyond good. Except they say “focussed” instead of “focused.”
Like most magazines they have a great article, issue after issue, and then it seems like nothing interesting for several issues. Everything is predicated on “Bet you didn’t know you’d find this topic interesting!”
And apropos of nothing my forearms are so sweaty they’re sticking to the desktop.
At 31, I’m too old to sit on the ground to watch a free movie, even if it is in Brooklyn Bridge Park. I just can’t do it.
“and yes intelligent writing usually does indicate snobbiness”
Oh, rob, you’ve outdone yourself this time. Truly pathetic.
Someone please pass the Cool-Aid
Tomine?
a nod to the illustrator would have been nice
I was joking, yes. I don’t read it often, but it is obviously a very well written and highly respected magazine, deservedly so. Particularly at $1 an issue (subscription), it’s well worth the price. And as Dave said, the cartoons are excellent. The cover art is also noteworthy. The cop-at-the-arcade cover they ran following the Diallo shooting a few years ago was inspired, I thought.
