In Bigger, Stronger, Faster, a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, documentarian Christopher Bell takes a hard look at steroid culture and the bad rap it gets from mainstream America, tackling the Western obsession with body image.Clocking in just under two hours, Bell's sprawling overview deals with the impact of 1980's pop culture icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, then dives into the gritty details of steroid usage in sports and the recent congressional hearings where baseball players were reprimanded on national television.Bell doesn't view the issue in black-and-white terms: His own brothers, featured in the film, continually use steroids to enhance their bodybuilding careers. Contrasting the personal with the political, Bigger, Stronger, Fas

As someone who occasionally ventures forth into the strange territory known as the New York Art World, but at a very subterranean level (I am unknown to most there), I would be derelict in my duties not to point readers toward this new film. I saw this documentary today, and I believe the film brings us to a moment in social and cultural history that is so of the moment that we can barely comprehend now its full significance. I know the clip here is a big tease to see the whole movie, and I hope you will, but this moment with the radio hosts at WFMU is one I particularly enjoyed.There's typically an impossibly long lag time between the making of a film and its final release, in this case, Guest of Cindy Sherman, but here's the archived blog post at WFMU's website from January 16, 2005 by D

What’s better than hanging out in New York City on a (partially) beautiful weekend and wearing around your neck pass that enables you to see any movie that you could want? If you said, “Nothing.”, then we’re on the same page. This past weekend I had the honor and delight to experience what IS the annual Tribeca Film Festival. This years festival, which runs until May 4th, is not only packed with your favorite celebrities walking up and down red carpets but encompasses all the rich, diverse and beautiful culture of New York City and of course the whole point, over 500 films to be seen.If you’re a film junkie like me you can probably understand how hard it was for me to pick what movies to see and which movies to scratch. It was a very painful process. I’d have to compare it

I'd like to make some general observations about my experience covering the Tribeca Film Festival.• Already I am tired and behind on my schedule. Every morning I sit down with the list of movie screenings and scratch through the names of movies I didn't get around to seeing the day before.• I have met a ton of nice people, most of them filmmakers and bloggers. Though I tried to stop meeting people a few days ago, I keep returning to the Target-Tribeca Filmmaker Lounge where I end up meeting more people and promising to see their films.• When I make appointments with filmmakers to talk about their films, I pretty much have to go see the films before we actually talk. I don't want to have to start the conversation with "And what's it about?," followed by me saying, "And then what happe

"Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."- Travis Bickle, Taxi Driver (1976)After the attacks of September 11, life in lower Manhattan took a long time to recover. The neighborhood of Tribeca, just north of the WTC site, had already become an attractive destination for artists and families, but after the shocking events of that day potential new residents grew cautious. Area businesses suffered as streets were blocked to traffic, and only residents or those on official business could pass through checkpoints.Actor Robert De Niro joined with producer Jane Rosenthal and her spouse, the philanthropist and writer Craig Hatkoff, to found the Tribeca Film Festival as a way to help filmmakers i

On my walks through Tribeca last week, I found that my head and feet propelled me toward Duane Park, whether I liked it or not. This particular triangular streetscape, with its little well-groomed island of a park in the center of the confluence of two streets, seems so pretty that there must be something amiss.This section of Duane Street between Hudson and Greenwich is so sweet that when the weather warms up I want to bring back my set of portable watercolors to paint the scene. It's a quiet movie set of a place with a museum-like quality, reminding me that Tribeca recovered from its shell-shocked days after September 11 by becoming the home for the Tribeca Film Festival.Not many people roam the streets. While visiting during the day, I've shared the street and park with a handful of peo

Whoa...This afternoon, after spending most of my time wandering Tribeca's pretty cobbled streets and looking at nineteenth century manufacturing buildings, I walked west on Duane Street, through Washington Market Park and then up the steps of the Borough of Manhattan Community College.When I turned around to walk down the steps this vista stopped me in my tracks. The patterned squares of the college's plaza below and the differing rectangular-patterned windows of the tall office buildings in the distance almost made me lose my balance. The sculpture in the middle is perfectly sited and humanizes what could be a frightening glimpse of modernity gone wrong. Instead, modernism looks exciting from these steps.Image: by Walking Off the Big Apple, March 14, 2008.Walking Off Tribeca, a new walk

The Powell Building (1892) at 105 Hudson Street (at Franklin St.), shown on the left, was designed by Carrere & Hastings, the architects of the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and the Frick mansion, among other others. In 1890, Henry L. Pierce, the head of a chocolate company in Massachusetts, wanted a nice building for his company, a step up from the plain vanilla of industrial architecture. Hence this elegant Beaux Arts-style building.After Pierce died his estate sold the building to candy manufacturer Alexander Powell who, in turn, hired his architect to enlarge the building and add stories. In the 1970s the building's higher floors were converted into residences. The Japanese restaurant Nobu (restaurant website) is on the first floor, in the same place that

I've started to collect older guidebooks to New York so I can understand shifting perspectives on the city. Guides published in earlier decades provide an excellent window on how visitors understood New York as a place and also help me understand the psychogeography of the city's previous residents. When I wrote the extended posts on Greta Garbo's walks around her neighborhood near E. 52nd St., I read guidebooks published in the 1960s and 1970s to help me locate the places she would have likely visited.No reference to Tribeca appears at all in the 1978 edition of the Michelin Green Guide for New York. The 1985 edition mentions the name "Tribeca " and explains the abbreviation. Michelin lists as its one attraction the Alternative Museum at 17 White Street, a downtown multimedia venue that n

When I returned from my long walk and lunch in Tribeca today, I felt over-stimulated but more tired than usual. Traveling can be both stimulating and exhausting at the same time. Beyond the physical demands of exploration, an encounter with new sources of stimuli can induce mental fatigue. Walking around unfamiliar streets takes more work than the ones you already know.Some of my haphazard impressions of the day in Tribeca:enjoying the facades of the buildings along White Street;the glimpses of the Hudson River and all that blue;Duane Street and its gentle and elegant restraint;the jarring presence of neo-Brutalist towers juxtaposed with more human scale nineteenth-century buildings;a painter putting the finishing touches on a propped-open door of Robert De Niro's not-yet-open Greenwich H

The Square Diner at the corner of Leonard and Varick in Tribeca smells of strong coffee and a hot griddle full of pancakes. Housed in one of the last authentic rail cars, with a ceiling of handsome wood paneling and a row of wide sliding windows facing the street, the diner is the kind of place you trust for breakfast and where catsup is comfortably within reach.This morning, after I sat down in a booth in the Square Diner, I ordered the big breakfast to which many of us have grown accustomed - two eggs, bacon, toast, New York-style breakfast potatoes, and lots of coffee. The meal didn't disappoint, and while drinking the last cup of coffee I turned to look out the window to look at what was happening on the street.Across the street I could see a little sliver of a park with a handful of t

For the next two weeks on Walking Off the Big Apple, beginning Monday, March 10 and continuing through Saturday, March 22, I am going to walk around and write about Tribeca. In the first of several focused guides on New York neighborhoods, I plan to write about the area's notable architecture, restaurants and diners, businesses, cultural venues, parks, and galleries.Tribeca surprises me when I walk there. I keep discovering stunning buildings, little pastry shops, unusual vignettes, and stretches of streetscapes that can rival any in the city.Much of Tribeca is still a mystery to me, although I've recently discovered some gems. That's why I want to spend two weeks just walking through the neighborhood and getting to know it better.Although I live close to Tribeca, it feels like a whole oth

Rihanna looks sexy in her tall pleather hooker boots.

She is gorgeous and looks better everytime I see her.

The Tribeca has the lowest consumer awareness of any Subaru product. You have to admit, the first edition, which came out in 2005, was rather odd looking. So Subaru has given the Tribeca a facelift and added more horsepower for 2008 model year. The newest version was shown for the first time today at the New York Auto Show.The new Tribeca has a much less polarizing design than the first edition. Gone is the isolated grille design, in favor of a grille that is integrated into the front bumper. In fact, all of the sheetmetal forward of the A-pillar is new. There's a more prominent hood line, sleeker headlamps and more aggressive front valance. The rear end was also freshened with restyled three-quarter windows, wider taillamps and new rear valance.A new 3.6-liter engine that runs on unleaded fuel will power the 2008 Tribeca. Horsepower is increased from 245 to 256, and torque jumps from 215 lb-ft to 247 lb-ft. The features highly valued by Tribeca loyalists, such as the graceful interio

Tráiler de 'El telón de azúcar' El documental El telón de azúcar, sobre la etapa en la Isla antes del colapso del bloque socialista a finales de los años ochenta y la crisis posterior, el llamado "Periodo Especial", competirá en la muestra oficial de la sexta edición del Festival de Cine de Tribeca, que comienza este miércoles en Nueva York. Coproducida por Cuba, España y Francia, la cinta de la chilena Camila Guzmán se proyectará como parte de la sección de documentales del evento, en el que participan este año 24 películas de Latinoamérica del total de 159 largometrajes y 85 cortos. El filme emprende un viaje de regreso a la niñez de Guzmán en Cuba, en los años setenta y ochenta, y presenta entrevistas con sus antiguos compañeros de escuela, en las cuales se evidencian las contradicciones entre los que se fueron de la Isla y quienes eligieron quedarse. La pérdida de la ilusión entre los jóvenes de su generación guía el relato del filme, cuya r

COBB's tuning program for the B9 Tribeca focused on the areas lacking compared to other vehicles in its class. Individually, the primary areas identified were Power, Control and Styling. The goal was to improve the vehicle in these areas without distracting from its original character or diminishing areas where it is already superior.POWERTo improve power, COBB set out to develop a highly efficient and quiet supercharger system. Utilizing a Rotrex compressor, COBB's engineering team set out to develop a system that would improve the vehicle's engine performance throughout its entire power band without negatively effecting engine reliability, NHV, or drive ability. To do so, a sophisticated mounting system was designed that allows retention of all the factory pulleys and reduces any harmonics that might create vibrations under certain operating conditions. To allow for sustained periods of boost, as experienced when towing or climbing mountain grades, an air-to-air intercooler was in

The annual event opened in New York City with global warming theme. The sixth annual Tribeca Film Festival opened last night with a gala in New York City hosted by former Vice President and environmentalist Al Gore, star of the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The theme of this year’s festival is global warming and many of the films focus on the subject. One of the films was about the upcoming reunion of the legendary mock rock band Spinal Tap. Tap will be turning their amplifiers up to eleven on July 7th when they take part in the Live Earth concert at London’s Wembley Stadium. The Live Earth concert will deliver 24 hours of music from seven continents with the goal of bringing awareness to the dangers of global warming.

When Subaru introduced the B9 Tribeca a few years ago, it was not warmly received in the marketplace. Its styling was charitably described as "not as bad as a Pontiac Aztec," a backhanded compliment if there ever was one. Online auto pundit extraordinaire Robert Farago famously described its nose as a certain part of the female anatomy that had taken flight. Subaru has at last responded and "mainstreamed" the front end of the SUV.[Source: Autoblog]Continued- Article, more images, official preliminary press release Based on this and the beak of the newly-revealed 2008 Impreza, it appears that Subaru has decided to make the forward-facing parts of its cars more palatable to the masses. Additionally (and thankfully), the Tribeca loses the inexplicable B9 part of its nomenclature and gains some displacement and horsepower, now up to 3.6L and 256 hp. Said powerplant is now set up to run on regular unleaded gasoline as well (until now, the Tribeca drank premium). Additionally, new mirrors an

The Tribeca is an urban, stylish condominium complex in Lower Queen Anne at 17 W. Mercer Street. Completed in 2003, Tribeca is a great mixed-use concrete and steel low-rise. At street level are several businesses including a Safeway, Taco Del Mar and Subway. Above, are 51 swanky one-bedroom, two-bedroom and two- & three-bedroom townhomes. There aren’t many common amenities but the complex boasts a large roof-top deck with great territorial and Space Needle views. Finishes & features differ from unit to unit, but many boasts: tall ceiling heights floor-to-ceiling windows granite or stone countertops stainless steel appliances w/gas ranges gas fireplaces hardwood and carpet flooring decks or juliet balconies great floor plans parking Tribeca is in a great location, within just a couple of blocks of numerous restaurants, cafes, retail stores and nightspots, not to mention the Seattle Center.

Subaru is set to unveil part two of the crazy experiment they call the B9 Tribeca at the New York Auto Show. The scribes over at Automobile are reporting that the current B9 Tribeca (pictured above) will lose some of its ugly with a more conventional grille and wider, narrower headlights. It'll also sport a new 3.6L V6 engine with 254 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque, which beats the current model's 3.0L by 9 hp and 32 lb-ft. The new V6 will also provide 10% better fuel economy while running on regular gasoline instead of the current model's premium fuel.[Source: Autoblog via Automobile]We're happy to hear the B9 Tribeca will gain new power and improved fuel economy, but we're not going to commit to a blind date until we see some pictures.http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/2008-subaru-b9-tribeca-to-bow-at-new-york-auto-show/
