...against ivory-tower liberal élites. Colbert's persona has a conservative bent: in his words, he's a reflexive "Blame America last-er" and has a dog named Gipper. But Colbert is also spoofing the general trend in news to pander to emotion, to value graphics over thinking, gut over brain. "That, I think, is the nutmeat of the show," he tells me. "Enough mind. We tried mind for a long time, and what has it gotten us? You know, except for vaccinations." Credit Colbert's gut or his head for The Colbert Report, but his pontificating deserves...

Still, the scenes that belonged to Baldwin alone were charged with excitement, owing much to her versatile voice. Baldwin, a mezzo-soprano, brought...

As Oscar, the horndog sportswriter with a beer gut and a backward baseball cap, Lane learns a little discipline--he literally cleans up his act. And when he stands over Felix, yelling at him, begging him to let himself go, to cut loose, that could just as easily be Lane pushing Broderick. Or to put it another way, just as the shyster Max gets Leo to say in The Producers, "There...
