However, they're all the same, he argues. One of the Bagger’s favorite movies this year is a very serious film aime

Remember in early June when we thought David Carradine was a lone loss, gone too soon and too mysteriously? Remember, in late June, after Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett...

David Carr's Nostalgic Brushes With Minnesota Nice
Just ran into local hero David Carr on his way to the New York Times’ filing center. He said he has spent his day so far not in the Xcel Center but outdoors, reporting on the protests. The big question there, he said, was whether the local anarchists who organized the march were going to overcome their natural inclination towards mild-mannered politesse, a.k.a Minnesota Nice. “I got pulled over this morning for doing 60 in a 30 zone,” he said, by way of illustration of the phenomenon. “He apologiz

"I was on a roll, so I kept going with it. I said, 'Look, if I were a 13-year-old boy, and I saw ['Zack and Miri'] on cable back in 1983? Yes, it would send me to the bathroom to jerk off.
