Vice<\/em>\u2014the international cultural and political magazine of the Vice media empire\u2014devotes its fiction issue<\/a> this year to Hollywood and the movies. Careful with that link, the magazine cover is NSFW, depending on where you work. Literary bright lights and Hollywood insiders like David Mamet, James Franco (a story about Lindsey Lohan), and Alec Sokolow are among the authors. Blake Bailey does a run-down of some of Vladimir Nabokov\u2019s unpublished notes for the Lolita<\/em> screenplay, about which Nabokov said after a screening of the finished film, \u201conly ragged odds and ends of my script had been used,\u201d though he received the picture\u2019s only scriptwriting credit.<\/p>\n

Vice<\/em> was launched in Montreal in 1994, and the company is currently valued at more than $2 billion. In the last few days, it launched a sports channel to add to its publishing, online, and video stable. Since Vice<\/em> is distributed free, with distribution points in major cities, you can read the content online or download it with an iTunes app, if <\/em>you are at least 17 years old.<\/p>\n
