The Case for Monogramming Everything
When I reached the final section of Graydon Carter's delicious new memoir, When the Going Was Good, one paragraph caused me to let out a sharp gasp. It wasn't a celebrity anecdote, like the time a Vanity Fair editor got locked in the bathroom at Cannes until the door was kicked down by Jean-Claude Van Damme. It wasn't even that writer Bryan Burrough was once paid $500,000 to write three stories a year for the magazine (though that did make me choke a little).

The best (and worst!) MMA movies (and TV series) of all time
(This story was updated to add new information.) The 97th Academy Awards have arrived. Suffice it to say, the 'Road House' reboot didn't make the cut in any categories. Still, it's movie season, so here's a list of MMA movies and TV series you might want to spend some time with – including a new series from France that has some high-profile cameos. (And if we left some off the list, don't be offended. For the record, if a movie was purely karate or kickboxing or boxing, etc., we left it off – we're looking for reasonably modern-era mixed martial arts/cagefighting kind of stuff to make the cut for this list. Sorry, old Bruce Lee and Jean Claude Van Damme flicks. We'll save you for a different list.)
