...along with sunburn scars and callused heels and memories of original sins, a first beer smuggled behind the grandstand, cigarettes sneaked in the woods, curfews broken because it's too hot to sleep. The flip side of summer freedom is anarchy, the structures of school and work melted into casual Fridays and long weekends spent playing on grass now baked to beige by drought, if it has not been drowned by this summer's biblical floods...
...That's a fair sample of Delpy's humor, which runs to the black and the tossed off - rather like her rather casual shooting style.

What do you say to the gamers who accuse Nintendo of catering to the casual gamer and not the hard-core gamer? -Sean Rhodes, AURORA, COLO.At E3 [a gaming trade show], I was a little concerned about defining people as a hard-core gamer vs. a casual gamer. But there are hard-core gamers who play a lot of casual games. Nintendo's focus is to break down the barriers between those two groups and consider everyone just gamers...
