...choice for the hyper-communicative 62-year-old, who wears jeans and an untucked dress shirt to work and uses phrases like "You da man." Drexler, a Bronx Science grad who got an M.B.A., then followed his father, a button buyer, into the clothing business, is always in motion--hence the p.a. system he uses like a high school principal to bark out questions (Who shops online?) and commands (Don't forget to turn off the conference-room lights). On one of his first days, Drexler got on the horn and asked for whoever was in charge...
...like the idea of looking again, of recycling. Every time you print out, you see a different poetic image. Each different mistake frames the photograph differently.” The exhibition is also a study of movement and space. The titles of most of the pieces involve motion, such as “Leaving Los Angeles,” or “Leaving Saint Petersburg.” At the same time, Boym superimposes images on others, displacing them in location and time.

Branded entertainment, which put the soap in daytime TV, is resurfacing in reality TV and Second Life. And of course, television, the 65-year-old killer...
...Gerard Butler’s believable performance as Leonidas, King of the Spartans, rallies not only his troops but also the viewers. His second in command works the audience in a different way. Vincent Regan, the Captain, delivers the worst performance I’ve seen in a major motion picture this year. Largely due to the laughable overacting, Regan’s character serves only as unintentional comic relief. The film also suffers from a lame and sedate narrator whose lack of urgency harms the film’s momentum. Overall, weak acting, horrible dialogue, and utter absurdity ruin...
