As some of you frustrated readers know, I’ve never understood the appeal of Twitter, so while I do use it to inform people of new posts here and link the occasional interesting article, I don’t check the @worldofparker account regularly.

This one’s so hot off the presses, the website isn’t even live.
This is Noir Magazine, a new magazine for tablets. I downloaded it for my iPad today, the day of its debut.
I just got the iPad a few weeks ago. I won it in a drawing of all things, […]

Above is the second trailer. Interesting that Payback is alluded to.
Here’s a behind the scenes featurette. It’s mostly just footage from the trailers with some comments by director Taylor Hackford, Jason Statham, and Jennifer Lopez edited in. Nothing terribly insightful, but it’s only two and half minutes long.
