...last Wednesday evening. The former New York Magazine Theater reviewer and current Bloomberg News Drama Critic and Harper’s Book Reviewer is one of the most erudite, powerful, and notoriously unforgiving critics of his time. Not many men can print that Barbra Streisand’s nose “towers like a ziggurat made of meat” without getting sued. Careers turned on his acerbic tongue, and enmity followed it. The New York Drama Critics Circle voted to refuse him membership in 1969. Actress Sylvia Miles once overturned a plate of spaghetti onto his head...

...process of becoming a woman, in Transamerica, a low-budget indie film about a transsexual father's road trip with her newly discovered teenage prostitute son. If people thought it was brave of Nicole Kidman to endanger her glamour by wearing a big prosthetic nose or Charlize Theron to put on fake teeth, Huffman is going to get the silver star. In one scene, for longer and in larger form than you might enjoy, her penis is visible...
