And this one is an incredible painting — the sense of dread and danger is downright Munchian. But it’s woven in Rousseau’s weave. (For whom dread is no stranger, for that matter.)

I’m afraid I don’t really get this article. Is it anti-Hockney? Or that $90 million is too much to spend on a painting? There’s plenty of…

I love Cora too: her journalistic voice is so refreshing.

However, she’s a little off when it comes to Victoria’s Secret. I know a lot about the company because I had a close friend who was a German lingerie designer, and the Limited was courting her. She hated the company, but she allowed they were very pro-women —…

And that man’s name is Flannery O’Connor.

Gilliam sucks. 

Exact opposite for me. But I’ve only seen Ultron and Iron Man, so I had to watch it four times to even orient myself. First I just admired the CGI; second, I got a sense of the different locations; third, I figured out who everybody was; finally I followed the story. The Guardians of the Galaxy are, to me, the most…

While this is a funny comment — especially as (a) I just learned who Tahani is and (b) there really is a comment on the Vulture article reading

Yeah, and it’s also quite disorienting for the Europeans. In Europe, lingerie modeling ranks quite low professionally. It’s how Natalia Vodianova got her start, for instance; she’s tried to quench those shoots, and it’s considered extremely bad taste to repost the pictures online. Thanks in large part to Victoria’s…

That is for goddamn sure. And I’m no fan of the douchebag — you should see him during the “tryouts,” where they actually make all the girls — including such iffy amateurs as Blanca Padilla or Taylor Hill — strut their stuff wearing next to nothing in a big white fluorescent-lit room. (Or, you shouldn’t.) I don’t think…

To be fair, Razek is just touting the company line. The “brains” behind the Victoria’s Secret brand — the fashion show, the miracle bra, the city-by-city tours, the “angels,” and above all the packaging of women’s empowerment — all that’s Monica Mitro, a PR exec and former model. Razek does, and has done, anything she…

“How much more can I be offended”

I love her voice, though. I really do. And I beyond hate the music. I don’t even consider it music.

She’s obviously awaiting maturity, so I’m hoping we’ll be able to compare her career to how the various talents of Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Brandy, Taylor Swift, and even Beyoncé were developed over time.

But she’s older, no?

Too, he’s at work; he may not even have written the line. And maybe it’s just me, but I’m always a bit uncomfortable when her trauma is noted, because the circumstances of his father’s death are thereby both cited and unrecognized.

I gotta see Much Ado, I keep hearing about it. No question that Branagh has some great ones. I still remember the first time I saw Henry V. I guess I’m the only one that isn’t totally obsessed with the Olivier.

The Polanski is fantastic, although Macbeth does lend itself particularly well to film, for obvious reasons.…

(Eliot disagreed — he thought Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood was the best — but I’ve never really understood that, since Kurosawa didn’t try to deal with the English language, which is the whole difficulty)

Or that the debt is on the king’s side. It’s a note that isn’t often played. While this might not say much, it is for sure the greatest Shakespeare on film.

Yeah. Bloody appalling he just took that opportunity to speak out against the media’s compliance with insane tyrants murdering artists and innocent civilians.

And don’t get me started on method acting. Especially when that fascist Milos Forman’s at the helm.

Hey, sincere thanks for your thoughts; it really does avail those in dire straits. (Jezebel’s silence disheartens feminists, and I’m not bright enough for Deadspin.)

But you are missing my point. I’m not saying that salaciousness isn’t abominable. I hate it when this stuff happens to me. I have “swinger” friends for…

Yeah, it’s pretty transcendent, and by far his best doc (not to mention the best doc on rock/pop music bar none). I was fortunate enough to be with him on a regular basis while he was making it, so I had a glimpse into the working method. One thing I’ll never forget was his exclamation, “The documentary has no form!…

I was born in Milwaukee and lived there through high school before moving to Europe and NYC and haven’t been back since; I have to admit I’m going to be a bit of a contrarian: I couldn’t help but notice, while eating pizza in Naples for the first time, that I hadn’t enjoyed a pizza so thoroughly since my youth in…

If you share my taste (and it sure seems you do), I’m tempted to say that the Harrison thing — a fascinating “double album” that interweaves his essential themes in a new context — is required viewing.
