"Tom Cruise's Inner Goober Misfires"- Linda... →
Tom Cruise is fascinating me these days. I kind of feel like watching all of his movies in a row, like I did with Jeff Goldblum in 2001.

"Chris Brown's BET Breakdown: The 'Coulds' and... →
“Chris Brown’s actions, however, shattered his image and destroyed the main function of his music. It’s hard to imagine how he can move back into his role as a teen dream, now that he’s admitted doing something no young woman would want done to her. (Not to mention the parents of girls who might have crushes on this handsome and smooth, if eager to reform, criminal.) The...

"'American Cinematographer' Poll Names 'Amélie'... →
I was a bit surprised by the order of this poll at the top, but you can’t argue that any of these fifty deserve mention. I probably would have gone: 1. In the Mood for Love (Doyle) 2. The Thin Red Line (Toll) 3. The Diving Bell and The Butterfly (Kaminski) 4. The Man Who Wasn’t There (Deakins) 5. Elephant (Savides) At any rate, those guys and Robert Richardson are the ones you have to...

Miley, you’re not allowed to crip-walk. Not in the ironic sense. Not because you’re in the shock stage of your career. You just can’t. You need to stop.

"Interview: 'Treme' Co-Creator David Simon... →
Simon comes off as a petulant kid whose crayon project is being criticized: “The grass isn’t green because it’s not supposed to be green.” As I usually do, I agreed with Sean “Hurricane” Fennessey on this. Especially on his point about the celebrity cameos being distracting. Part of what made The Wire great was that every single character was embodied expertly...

“If you write about music online— posting to message boards, e-mail threads, blog posts, reviews, whatever— your listening is being documented. And if you write about music long enough, and the words are still there, you can get an idea of your history as a listener and start to see it as something that exists outside of your own memory.

"In Which He Can't See without His Glasses"- Alice... →
A lot like stuff I try to do, but a lot better as well. Favorite paragraph that I could never get away with writing: “I also, obviously, just thought Vada was really pretty. At one point, Shelly catalogues her every feature: ‘sparkling eyes,’ ‘the cutest little nose,’ ‘an amazing mouth.’ There is indeed an overripeness to Anna Chlumsky’s beauty, an...
