...Some viewers eagerly anticipate squirming; that's the fun of live TV. On Sunday night the big chances for it rested upon Rourke - his acceptance speech the night before at the Independent Spirit Awards was five minutes of wondrously ribald thank-yous and genial insults - and Jerry Lewis, the legendary, infamous clown, now 82, who would receive an honorary award. Would the long-ago star-director of imaginative, raucous comedies prance out and shout "Mel-vin!"? Would he, bearing in mind how he's been scorned by mainstream U.S. critics but revered in the pages of Cahiers du Cinema, give...
...party of epic proportions, the equivalent of an all-nighter with the music cranked and every care in the world, or at least the anger and bitterness of the 1994-95 players' strike, easily forgotten. The 1998 Yankees, the winningest team of all time, were just part of the fun for Bud Selig, whose caretaking role as interim commissioner finally ended in midsummer.

Their last album, “Citrus,” was a fun and exciting listen; “Hush” is anything but. There are solid segments when the music is muddled, the vocals are so high so often that it become irritating, and there are only three songs on the new album that Asobi Seksu can rock their audiences with...
...worthy caravan of world-class bloviation that migrates from the now soiled majesty of the economic wizards at Davos to the Cold War clutch of the Munich Security Conference, to the think-tanky but heartfelt attempts to reach across the cultural chasm at Doha. These conferences were not much fun for Americans during the George W. Bush years, when a solid plurality of the questions began with "How could you?" But the U.S. election promised a change, and I attended Munich and Doha this year to find out how the world was reacting to the new Administration. I found...
