Yesterday, HBO fans were incensed by the network's cancellation of one of its most acclaimed shows, Bored to Death, the Brooklyn stoner detective comedy starring Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis. The usual storm of internet outrage followed: petitions were started, tweets were tweeted, tumblogs were tumbled. How could such a smart show be cancelled on such a smart network? Where would we find such an accurate representation of Brooklyn? Where was the justice?

A pairing of the literary and the fashion worlds doesn’t exactly seem like a match made in heaven. That is, unless you’re talking about Tom Wolfe’s suits, Truman Capote’s spectacles, or the late Hunter S. Thompson’s propensity to break every fashion (not to mention, literary) rule in the book. But, thanks to "Flash Fiction" -- a recently launched multimedia project courtesy of Diesel -- the literary world is getting a whole lot more fashionable.

Television is ideally seen as a launching pad for by actors en route to film career. Look at what ER did for George Clooney, what Friends did for Jennifer Aniston, or what The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air did for Tatyana Ali. But recently, there’s been a wave of film stars retreating to the small screen, often to critical acclaim and ratings success. Take Martin Sheen in The West Wing, Glenn Close in Damages, and Holly Hunter in Saving Grace, as recent examples. Now, Coppola clan member Jason Schwartzman is taking a shot at serialization with a new HBO comedy pilot called Bored to Death.
