...vapid trophy wife, his friend Sal only encourages his rabid fandom, and his mother has long since given up attempting to make him to do anything with his life. While these characters are realistic archetypes, each one performs a single function and never deviates from that purpose. (As Philadelphia Phil, Rapaport spends almost all of his scant eight minutes of screen time chanting and jeering in a sports bar). Though the plot leaves a few loose ends, these work within the film’s internal logic. The Quantrell Bishop storyline is abandoned in order to focus on Paul?...
...title to his business card: fiction writer. His latest book, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!, is a 700-page populist fantasy in which a small group of billionaires and media moguls - led by Warren Buffett and including Ted Turner, George Soros, Bill Cosby, Yoko Ono and Phil Donahue - pool their massive resources to reform the U.S. With the help of a $15 billion war chest and a p.r. campaign starring a talking parrot, the group successfully unionizes Walmart, ends corporate influence on Congress, makes Warren Beatty the governor of California and legalizes industrial hemp.

In addition to the added vibraphone, producer Phil Ek (Built to Spill, The Shins) establishes a more layered sound. Though this results in the best Dodos record for headphones, the thicker sound is disappointingly inorganic. The enveloping blanket contains some interesting elements, but Kroeber’s drums almost disappear into the background wash of noise. Throughout the album...
