Full Frontal and CQ

Great feature on Apple’s web site about Steven Soderbergh’s new movie Full Frontal, which was filmed and edited on consumer level equipment. Soderbergh continues to be a fascinating director and the film should be an interesting departure for him after his more commercial work lately. It’s nice, too, to see inside the machinery of filmmaking a bit.

In other film news, Roman Coppola’s debut CQ looks like a trip. Boy, those Coppolas!! It also features the inimitable Jason Schwartzman, hopefully atoning for Slackers. The trailer is available here.

QuickTaxWeb and Macs

Well, this sucks. I just tried to check out Quicken’s online tax service for Canadians, QuickTaxWeb. It tells me it supports Netscape and Internet Explorer for Windows, but only Netscape for Macintosh. As the kids say, WTF? Explorer is the most standards-compliant, and is probably the leading browser among Mac users, as it is among Windows users. What gives? If the web developers for my bank can code for Explorer, why can’t Quicken?
