...onslaught of negative adjectives and metaphors. Indeed, Boll is no stranger to criticism: when his film Alone in the Dark-based on the video game of the same name-came out in 2005, critics called it "overblown, amateurish gibberish," and used it as proof that Boll "belongs in the pantheon of inept directors." His follow-up film BloodRayne, another video game adaptation, was equally panned, and left critics declaring that he was "fast becoming one of the worst directors on the planet." Just this week in fact, TIME?s book critic wrote a pained reflection about a detractor...
...Then came 1997s OK Computer, a bracingly original record that put Radiohead on the map and catapulted them into the progressive pantheon. Suddenly, in the media at least, Radiohead was no longer just a stunningly talented rock band; they were the saviors of rock and roll, self-styled apostles of the Beatles who dared to break the mold with their prophetic, dark parables about apocalypse, aliens and alienation. With its cutting-edge arrangements, spaced-out electronics and Orwellian edge, OK Computer tapped into the nebulous state of the union and anticipated the post-9/11 era of anxiety. It also...
...have any fun.”While it’s true that we don’t really party like our friends at State U, this seems to be the biggest case of “the grass is always greener” in the pantheon of Harvard undergraduate complaints.

Shame on this revival. The 1954 Richard Adler and Jerry Ross musical isn't even a paid-up member of the Broadway pantheon. Yet the story (about labor problems and romantic entanglements at a pajama factory) is so effortlessly engaging; its songs so consistently fresh, tuneful and organic to the plot; and its two stars, Harry Connick Jr. and Kelli O'Hara, so utterly convincing as romantic leads that you come away believing that doing a musical is the easiest thing in the world. (Until you have to sit through Lestat.) The bad news is that the show closes...
...hegemony of big, syllabus-ready tomes and making it harder for readers to find their way to minor, more idiosyncratic, less well-connected but maybe more lovable books. And the Times project, having only one book on it, isn't even a list - it's not even a pantheon, it's a monotheisum. A library shouldn't be a temple, with one altar to one book. It's a mysterious, winding bazaar, wherein you should be able to wander until you stumble over some dusty, long-neglected wonder that nobody else would have spotted, and take it home with...
