Checkov, Modernized & Naturalized

Written by Jonathan Kalb on November 30, 1999. Posted in Posts, Theater

Sean Hughes Is a Sad Old Bastard

Written by Tanya Richardson on November 30, 1999. Posted in Books, Posts

He’s also a total asshole. Although Hughes has creative carte blanche over there, he isn’t exactly respected. His fans are diehard, but most Brits seem to consider him a bit of a joke. On the back of his first novel, The Detainees (1997), one critic graciously compared Hughes to Martin Amis and Will Self. Hughes’

Rave Against the Parade

James Bond’s Bimbos & Almodovar’s Ladies

Written by Matt Zoller Seitz on November 30, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

I had two realizations upon witnessing Jones unveiled. The first was that my vocal cords were frozen. I tried to force words through them–something like "What rot!" or "Who do they take me for?"–but what came out was a strangled mass of consonants that sounded like "Hhcckklq." A Pavlovian response, to be sure, and proof
