While it might be callous to say Christian Slater has nothing better to do than appear in…oh…we’re just going to say it: the once great Christian Slater has nothing better to do than appear in a save Ellis Island campaign – along with other celebrities – called We Are Ellis Island. The campaign goal is to build support for saving the island and its crumbling architecture.

Callousness aside, the campaign is a nice effort at calling attention to a place through which millions of soon-to-be Americans passed and the legacy it left for the decedents of those who did pass through. Sponsored by Arrow and featuring Katharine McPhee, Joe Montana, Kristin Cavallari, Christian Slater, Richard Belzer, Elliot Gould, cast members of The Sopranos and others, two commercials, a print campaign and individual videos bring Ellis Island stories to life.

The campaign was created by in-house agency PVH Advertising and Marketing Group. The best part of the entire campaign is when The Sopranos‘ Johnny “Sack” (Vincent Curatola) peers into the camera and semi-threateningly intones, “be a good idea to make a donation.”

Oh, to be clear, we love Christian Slater. Always have. Always will.

Psychologists explain that people who have to jiggle the door handle after locking it aren’t paranoid — they’re compensating for the fact that procedural memory doesn’t create the same confidence as episodic memory, which is why we trust what we just witnessed more than what we just did

The generation that was told they could have it all is now watching its childless members age into a healthcare system, inheritance framework, and social safety net that was built entirely around the assumption that everyone would have someone younger who cared enough to make the phone calls

Research suggests adults who received minimal affection as children often become one of two things — either the most physically affectionate person in any room, overcompensating with a warmth they’re terrified of withholding, or the most physically reserved, maintaining a distance they don’t want but can’t override — and both responses are survival adaptations to the same wound, and neither one feels natural because neither one is, they’re both translations of an experience that was never given its original language
