...film is full of slightly weird children, plus a certain amount of sexual tension - you may be an in-law, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're sexually uninteresting to someone else in the crowded family manse - but none of this turns A Christmas Tale into a farce. Desplechin is aware of the humorous cross-currents in the film, but he's not out to exploit them. He's a more serious filmmaker than that, interested in exploring the wayward, occasionally inexplicable tensions of a group bound together more by the accidents of birth than by any true communality...

The end of the album consists of more forgettable tracks such as “Distorted,” “Bad Side...

For a vast swath of the white working class, racial freedom came to mean riots and crime; sexual freedom came to mean divorce; and cultural freedom came to mean disrespect for family, church and flag. Richard Nixon and later Reagan won the presidency by promising a new order: not economic but cultural, not the taming of the market but the taming of the street...
