...those seeking an alternative to the generic club scene and standard restaurants, the cinematic Sunday nights, dubbed “M.O.S (Mit Out Sound),” feature a DJ spinning to themed films projected off the Room’s lofty brick walls. It’s an apt addition to the eclectic lounge whose décor allows customers to sit on couches or carpets, and whose menu reads, “Creative license is involved in the platters. Most things, but not always everything will appear. Trust...
...bonds of a straight couple in Dallas. And it will be easier to call a new doctrine of discrimination the Federal Marriage Amendment, though the Historically Unprecedented Hijacking of the Constitution to Single Out a Group of American Citizens and Explicitly Deny Them Certain Rights Amendment might be more apt.

The Apprentice uses the business world as a metaphor for that metaphor. (Lest anyone miss...
...keeps all the shirts he has been killed in. And he has been killed rather a lot, often quite horribly. There was a bashing with an oar, a climactic shootout and immolation in a garbage-disposal unit, to name a few. The fake-bloodied shirts seem like an apt, if slightly macabre set of trophies for his career to date, since Law has built a career around playing mesmerizing bullies. But the garments may be ironic talismans because, really, what most of Law's fans want to see is the man with his shirt...
