...Which could be why I liked it. To place a sensitive story in a male-epic genre - to dramatize feelings of angst and personal betrayal worthy of an Ingmar Bergman film, and then to dress them up in gaudy comic-book colors - is to pull off a smartly subversive drag show. With, yes, 25 mins. of fabulous fights. Peter's tussle with Sandman, and his aerial battle with the supersonic skateboarding New Goblin, are plenty snazzy. But anyone can do that; in action movies, everyone has done that. What's better, in a threequel, is rethinking the characters, the franchise...
...This isn't a matter of dress sense. Gul's nomination (and his wife's attire) has laid bare Turkey's deep divisions over the separation of religion and government. The protest was part of a much broader revolt by Turkey's self-described "secularists" against a popularly elected Islamic-leaning government that has held power-with considerable success-since November 2002. An ad hoc coalition of opposition parties, the military and parts of the judiciary, often referred to in Turkey as the "secular establishment," has in recent days derailed the presidential selection process in a standoff that underscores...
...church-basement fundraisers, but a drag queen is a drag queen, and if in between N-36 and I-18 your table is being rowdy, she'll be rowdy right back. "Straight guys, calm down, this isn't Bennigan's," sassed Ginger, a short blonde in a black dress slit up to the waist, on a recent Wednesday night. My friends and I were at Lips, a Manhattan restaurant that turns into a bingo parlor midweek with drag queens - those over-the-top, tell-it-like-it-is men dressed as women - plucking balls from the bingo cage...
...often you see Napoleon Bonaparte while performing an early-morning yogic salute to the sun. But then, not every place that the old Emperor conquered is so fond of his memory that they annually dress a short man in a big hat and parade him around to mark the anniversary of his death. Welcome to the island of Elba, off the west coast of Tuscany, and more specifically to Tenuta La Chiusa, a working vineyard where the warmonger once spent two nights during his nine-month Elban exile, before escaping to prepare for his last battle. Today, peace lovers...
...Prado and dinner. Islamabad: In Pakistan's capital, Fatima Jinnah Park is popular with locals for evening walks. The Margallah Hills' Trail 3 is more challenging, with long, uphill and sometimes rocky stretches and well-maintained vista points. Women are advised not to go alone; everyone should dress modestly. Portland, Oregon: You can really run here, from the downtown area, on the streets of the riverfront district, along the Willamette River itself, back across the university, and up to the shaded dirt trails of Forest Park. Long or short, trail or street, the routes are there, and often many people...
