...ambitious nature under that mask. Before that happens, we have the pleasure of watching Peter crack up - can?t work (he?s a television composer), can?t sleep, can?t eat, can?t tidy up his apartment. Off he goes to a resort in Hawaii, doing his best to forget his troubles. Naturally, Sarah is shacked up there with Peter?s replacement, a hirsute, laid-back and slyly egomaniacal rock star named Aldous, who is played with an oddly insinuating charm by British comic Russell Brand. Peter attempts to learn surfing, drinks to excess and spies clumsily on the lovers...

At least Lil’ Wil doesn’t forget the children. This is pretty much the entirety of the three-minute “My Dougie” video, whose complexity in plot can only be compared with its complexity in lyrics. “My Dougie,” however, does manage to make some magic...
...like ourselves. We cease at last to be sympathetic to their misfortunes or interested in their lives, instead coming to ignore them outright. Finally, we participate in and endorse a culture of stark and impenetrable walls. But there is very little in reality dividing Macleod and me. I cannot forget that, for the most part, it is only happenstance that entitles me and my classmates to the warm quiet of the library and damns him to the cold. This revelation followed fast on the heels of the arrest I observed back in March. I couldn’t help...
