Leave it to Breaking Bad to bring financial journalism and Hollywood together. The New York Times’ Andrew Ross Sorkin clearly enjoyed the shout-out to his column during last night’s episode of Breaking Bad, so much so that he took the time to write a nearly 500-word fictional piece dedicated to the matter.
Gray Matter, that is. Last night’s episode — spoilers ahead — saw Charlie Rose interviewing Walter White’s former colleagues Elliott and Gretchen Schwartz of Gray Matter Technologies about a Sorkin column questioning their company’s grant for drug treatment centers and their ties to Mr. White himself.

[Our thanks to Andrew David Long for the following wrap up of the 2009 Whistler Film Festival.]
Whistler itself is a gorgeous destination, world-famous for skiing and mountain biking, and the Whistler Film Festival (Wff) largely concerns itself with discovering new, independent voices. On those points alone, it's hard to avoid thinking of Sundance, a comparison that can't really be made. Now in its ninth installment, Whistler remains a very intimate festival and is still potentially in the early stages of its development.
Opening Night is at the Whistler Conference Centre, which is licensed, so many of the screenings there are rather more festive. Though the opening speeches are on the long side, the crowd is still happy. While I'm wary of converted screening spaces, the digital projection there is mercifully very good. Back at the hotel, I stare again at the screening schedule and rue the fact that everything screens only once.
Suffice it to say, these few days in Whistler can be packed. Wff is...
