...every cross-Atlantic Coldplay, there are a hundred sad-sack, pasty-faced British guitar bands which most Americans never hear. Doves had their moment here (I even saw The Strokes open for them a couple of years ago), and Travis are known by connoisseurs of the mopey acoustic, but they are the elite in a genre as ubiquitous in Britain as emo was in the US. Americans don’t produce enough earnest strummings locally, so they import it from across the pond to meet the limited demand. What America does produce in abundance doesn’t often...
Democrats seemed increasingly mopey about beating Bush last week. The news from the court was the least of it. The President continued to raise tons of money. Congress passed a prescription-drug benefit for Medicare recipients, with the support of prominent Democrats like Ted Kennedy and Tom Daschle. Bush will campaign on this in 2004, depriving the Democrats of yet another favorite issue. What an odd turn of events: Bush is suddenly more successful at home than abroad. Saddam and Osama are still at large, but Kennedy and Daschle have surrendered. The war in Iraq is intensifying, but Washington...

Devdas, a three-hour romantic phantasmagoria, got little indulgence from the international critics. Though they sat obediently through dozens of mopey minimalist movies, and one with a brutal nine-minute rape scene, they had a low threshold of pain for a pretty film with pretty people singing of love and loss; exactly one critic (this one) was there at the end. As for Chihwaseon, one insider announced a few hours before the awards ceremony that the jury...
Norton shows his incredible range with the mopey Mopes. Norton makes Mopes’ “I want to do good” mentality believable, especially near the end of the movie when he gets a healthy dose of realism. Plus, Norton as Mopes as Smoochy is ridiculous; “Step-father,” one of Moochy’s songs about being patient with mom’s new husband, is pure brilliance...
