...hypocrite, a braggart, a coward and a misogynist. He is sycophantic, grasping, rude and vain. He is also hilarious, the most outrageous character on television. He is Bill Bittinger, a Buffalo talk-show host, brilliantly played by Dabney Coleman, on NBC's new comedy series Buffalo Bill. The character is that rarity on television, a star who is a truly unsentimental cad. His lone redeeming feature is his unredeemability. To Buffalo Bill, all women are "bimbos" to be seduced, all men rivals to be traduced. If American viewers had not lost their innocence about unscrupulous TV characters, Bill would...
...then-that is, 73. Now Harrison is a splendid 73, more attractive at three score and 13 than most men are at 37, and his voice will doubtless retain its music when he is 103. But he is perhaps 20 years older than Higgins, the most irascible misogynist since Jack the Ripper, ought to be. Neither Shaw nor Lerner ever indicated that the professor and the flower girl would wind up in a clinch, but the possibility, which gave the story much of its electricity, was always there. That charge is what is lacking from the new production. Harrison...
...What made her think Friday the 13th, 1981, would be any different?" The title unfolds: "FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH--PART TWO." I felt like I was 20,000 leagues beneath the Charles. Not only does this movie have the gall to acclaim itself as a total rehash of an awful, misogynist film that was the epitome of cinema merde, but the trailer shows us every murder in the new version--in order--and then asks us to come see it anyway. To wit: A girl stands in front of a window. A large ice pick comes in from off screen...
...enactments continued, never acrimonious but always intense. The jurors applied no pressure on each other. On the ground floor, a hundred or so journalists and half as many dedicated trial followers waited. The celebrity of the victim and the social standing of the accused, their intriguing affair, and the misogynist overtones that many women found in Tarnower's treatment of Harris, all combined to make the trial a press spectacular, a debate over man's inhumanity to woman. Said one courtroom regular, a sharp-eyed lady of about 60: "I pray for Jean Harris every night. I know...
...centerpiece of side one is, of course, the title track 'Some Girls.' Sugar Blue's magnificent harp gives way to Jagger's ironic and at times obscene catalogue of women. His stance is that of a complete misogynist defending his case. In an interview with Jonathan Cott in Rolling Stone, Jagger insisted that "Some Girls" is a joke and not a statement of anti-feminism. It's hard to read anything else but anti-feminism into a line like, "some girls take the shirt off my back and leave me with a lethal dose," but it's also hard...
