Abbas Kiarostami’s Certified Copy opens at Miami Beach Cinematheque and Cosford this weekend.

Chilean coal miners, stop your bitching! The most thankless job belongs to an office administrator. They’re usually bogged down by mindless tasks, which everyone else (even the interns) feel too important to do, and are often considered the outcast in most office hierarchies.
