...Gone in 60 Seconds” (the original one), and “Dirty Mary Crazy Larry” sequences it emulates. But ultimately the difference between the two segments is the attitude each director takes towards their self-reflexivity. Rodriguez’s film is funnier, cheekier, more willing to recklessly embrace its own cheesiness. You don’t have to be a zombie savant to appreciate his joke. But Tarantino’s flick all but demands a genre aficionado to fully appreciate the references. “Grindhouse” is a testament to nostalgic perversion...
John Galliano, 36, a cheeky Spaniard brought up in London, was the toast of the SoHo fashion scene but unknown on the Avenue Montaigne when he took over Givenchy two years ago. A year later, Arnault moved him to Dior and plucked Alexander McQueen--even cheekier and younger, at 27--to guide the fortunes of Givenchy.

In this case they should be snubbed. Advance is moving too fast over the largely unexplored and extremely boggy ground of liberal Republicanism, and if its editors are at all bothered by doubt about the nature and quality of the soil, they betray none of their misgivings...
