While Ryan’s Chino girl, Teresa, wasn’t exactly aces, at least she was D.T.B. (down to bone) and, ultimately, D.F.I.C. (down for an illegitimate child). Meanwhile, his Season Two flame, Lindsay, is quite possibly the most miserable human being who has ever existed, from her whiney complaints about not having a dad (as if anyone would want such worthless daughter) to her annoying insistence that girls can do as well as boys in science [insert Larry Summers joke here...
...Million Dollar Baby, the year’s requisite realist duo. Both feature a raw, devastating naturalism; they are far and away the most mature offerings on the Oscar docket. But while Ray and Neverland stay too distant from the viewer, these pictures cut too close to the bone. Sideways is an apt parable of its time, a tale of failure, loss, and botched hedonism.

All pain signals ultimately land in the brain, where they trigger thought ("That was dumb!"), emotions (tears, sobs), memories and a complex array of biochemical events aimed at protecting your body from further harm...
...beautifully austere, wintry texture reminiscent of Duluth, even in a scene saturated with New York swagger and California ennui. The perfect complement to a cold, listless winter day, Low’s music becomes more beautiful as it becomes more familiar, their maudlin, Mormon message piercing to the bone of even the most jaded big city hipster...
