...those who took Frankel?s spectacular alleged swindle ?- certainly a Great Train Robbery for the bull-crazy '90s ?- to heart as a stirringly outsize, outlaw pursuit-of-happiness story, this news must be viewed as a disappointment.

...culture has been Balkanized; it is full of niches, with different groups watching and playing their own things. And big movies, the ones that grab $20 million on their first weekend, are guy stuff.
