The kid tells the court that

The General’s Daughter

Written by Godfrey Cheshire on . Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

directed by Simon West Travolta Pigs Out As an indicator of the poisonous, predatory pathology that currently governs Hollywood, Simon West’s The General’s Daughter runs a close second to Joel Schumacher’s 8mm in 1999′s Most Loathsome Movie of the Year sweepstakes. Do I inadvertently make it sound noteworthy and appealingly appalling, at a time when the major studios are

Tarzan

Written by Armond White on . Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

Tarzan directed by Kevin Lima & Chris Buck You Tarzan,You Suck Animated films, central to this movie era’s technological cult, usually get praised despite their mediocrity. It’s as if people’s eyes were bigger than their brains. They worship Disney’s tech advances while accepting uninspired dramatic conventions. (That awful Beauty and the Beast—actually a step back for Disney—was hyped into an

Spinning Affirmative Action at the New York Times

Written by Andrey Slivka on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

The New York Times‘ consensus-manufacturing machine is gearing up for the 2000 presidential race, and with mixed results. First there was Kevin Sack’s long May 8 story about George W. Bush’s business dealings—an inconclusive piece that served only to highlight the extent to which Bush possesses the same faults that other unimaginative sons of mind boggling privilege do. More to the

Birthday boy gets nothing!

Written by Dirty Sanchez on . Posted in Posts

Happy Sanchez does his happy-Sanchez dance and jumps up and down upon his mattress, for his birthday wish has come true! Some goofy rock critic finally took the bait and wrote a pissy letter to Sanchez! Whereas smug know-it-all Sanchez could’ve guessed that a couple of crazy women from Manhattan and Piscataway would have responded to his tearful plea for

Gee, Bradley Really is a Stiff

Written by David Corn on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Have you caught Bill Bradley fever? A few weeks ago, he was the story of the presidential campaign, which still has nearly 17 months to run. This week, obviously, it’s George W. Bush, who has finally left his cocoon in Austin. In the midst of that media run on Bradley—raising $4 million in the first quarter did impress the political

Something to Be Sad About; Apologies to Kurt

Written by Taki on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

LEMAÎTRE You’re Depressed? My mother, who died last year in her 90s, suffered from melancholia throughout her life. Perhaps her melancholy was brought on by my father’s constant womanizing—he had too strong a sense of duty to ever leave her or to stop loving her, and too much sense of entitlement to ever give up having mistresses—but somehow I doubt it.

Bush On the Move; Grim Talk About Talk

Written by Russ Smith on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

The Beltway Pundits Pout Wouldn’t it be extraordinary if the media elite put their cards on the table and admitted now whom they’ll be advocating in the 2000 presidential election? It’s really no secret. The New York Times, in its news columns and editorials, is for Al Gore (and Hillary Clinton for Senate); The Wall Street Journal favors Steve Forbes;

Jesus vs. Freud

Written by John Strausbaugh on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Mental health professionals tend to react to Seth Farber’s ideas with the sort of shock and outrage with which heresy is condemned by faithful religious types. “Don’t touch this book with a twenty foot pole,” one of them wrote his publisher on reading the manuscript that would become his latest book, Unholy Madness (InterVarsity Press, 162 pages, $12.99). “I suspect
