<p>If there ever was a week for longreads, this would be it. After Elizabeth Wurtzel's <a href="http://observer.com/2013/01/how-well-did-you-read-elizabeth-wurtzels-essay-in-new-york-a-quiz/">5,500-word essay</a> published in <em>New York</em> about crazy landlords/Not Compromising on Life, <em>The New York Times Magazine</em> proved that it hadn't cornered the market on histrionics. Thus, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/magazine/here-is-what-happens-when-you-cast-lindsay-lohan-in-your-movie.html?">an 11-page exposé</a> about Lindsay Lohan and <em>The Canyons</em>, <a href="http://observer.com/2012/05/bret-easton-ellis-and-paul-schrader-are-raising-money-for-their-upcoming-thriller-the-canyons-on-kickstarter/">the Kickstarter-funded film</a> written by Bret Easton Ellis and directed by Paul Schrader, co-starring porn heartthrob James Deen.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, the piece chronicles what a nice time everyone had on the short shoot—which took place over three weeks last July--with a lot of fond, funny anecdotes. Like the time Ms. Lohan took too many sleeping pills, locked herself in a closet, and refused to come out until Paul Schrader took off all his clothes? That one is great. The pitch-perfect tone was immediately reflected in its  blog-snark title, "Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie."</p>
<p>A fine choice, but a little unsubtle. We offer these 10 other titles that would have equally reflected the appeal of such a long, labor-intensive piece of journalism.</p>

<p>1. "Here Is What Happens When You Take All Your Meetings at Chateau Marmont"</p>
<p>2. "'Julia Roberts Is Late!': The Lindsay Lohan Story"</p>
<p>3. "Paul Schrader Takes It All Off"</p>
<p>4. "How Not to Make a Film"</p>
<p>5. "That Time Lindsay Lohan Called Everyone Else Unprofessional"</p>
<p>6. "I’ve got one assistant passed out at my house and the other one in the Palisades saying he wants to hang himself. Life’s great.”</p>
