Spaniards swap whisky and brandy for cerveza. Morgan Stanleyread more: http://qz.com/34764
This year hasn’t been going very well for the Spanish. With a quarter of the population out of work, it’s hard for them to afford costly, memory-killing substances like whisky and brandy. The solution? Drink more beer!
That’s “clearly” what has happened, according to Morgan Stanley research analysts led by David Belaunde. Although beer remains expensive in Spain compared to the US and Germany, even the most cash-strapped consumers have been able to afford the beverage by skipping the bar and drinking ale at home.

Even though 2012 isn’t over, there have been other films that I enjoyed more and worked slightly better for me. But Cloud Atlas is definitely the most important film I’ve seen this year in terms of what it represents from an industry perspective. It is an independent film with a major budget. The film had the technical resources to meet its grand ambition. The Wachowski Siblings and Tom Tykwer have been able to successfully craft their vision and do so outside the Hollywood system, which is good because Hollywood never would have made a movie Cloud Atlas. And if Cloud Atlas tanks, they never will.
You have the power to change that. read more: http://collider.com/cloud-atlas-editorial/205989/ Who cares about what’s happening in the swing states — the burning question is who will Homer Simpson vote for? We’ve got the answer.
In an online clip promoting “The Simpsons” new season on Sept. 30, Homer Simpson casts his ballot for Mitt Romney. Weighing his options in the voting booth, Simpson says, “Barack Obama, I don’t know. I already got one wife telling me to eat healthy. And, plus, he promised me death panels and grandpa is still alive. Mitt Romney? I hear he wears magic underpants. I expect the leader of the free world to go commando. Plus, his horse totally choked at the Olympics. On the other hand, he did invent Obamacare.” Read more (here): http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81511.html According to Comic Book Resources, DC will launch a digital comic book series based on new CW show Arrow this October. Priced at $0.99 an issue, it will debut on October 10th - the same day as the series premiere - and will be written by executive producers, showrunners and comic scribes Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg with art from legendary artist Mike Grell and later Sergio Sandoval and Jorge Jimenez. The series will sell at $0.99 a chapter online, while monthly print editions collecting several installments will start on November 28th for $3.99.
"We've been working like mad," Guggenheim told the site about balancing work on the TV series and comic book. "It was a little while after the free comic we co-wrote with Geoff Johns for San Diego Comic-Con [when DC approached us]. We loved the idea because (a) we love comics and (b) we sensed the opportunity to do something that struck us both as unprecedented. We come up with a lot of stories in the writers room, but only have 42 minutes each week to tell them. That leaves a lot of story and backstory left over that we like having the opportunity to tell. To our knowledge, nothing's ever been attempted on a scale like this before." Read more at http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=67257#LwrR0UbgLoFd6qt9.99.
