Media Minutiae, It’s All Greek To Crain’s Edition

  • What counts as an “addition”? Scoop! Crain’s reports that Greek restaurant Pylos is a “great new addition” to the East Village restaurant scene. Except that it opened two years ago. Other than that, awesome new find, guys! [Crain's]

  • What about Jada Pinkett Smith in “Return to Paradise”? Oh. Never mind. NYT critic David Carr doesn’t think journalists are portrayed very positively in movies. Our bro at FishbowlLA thinks he’s off base. I just want to see movies about people who are plucky. Like that Edward R. Murrow. He was plucky. [NYT]
  • Good things come in small packages: WWD reports that Justice magazine has re-sized to a smaller, classic TV Guide-sized format. It will be taking over the mag’s old supermarket checkout slots and raising its base rate in 2006 to 350,000. We have to give props to the WWD headline: “And Justice for Small.” Funny. [WWD]
  • There is, in fact, something new to say about the Beatles: Ha! Take that, Slate! Page Six says yes; Slate says no; Page Six says “this guy says they were going to record together just before John died” and Slate says “I didn’t know.” Upshot: Slate says goodbye, Page Six says hello. Hello, hello! [NYP]
