...never been difficult to reconcile my love for hip-hop with my eternal devotion to Gordon Sumner. Like the best rap music, the Police always had funky basslines, rhythm-driven songs, and an oft-maligned intellectual underside. But after the Puffy sob-fest “I’ll Be Missing You,” I figured the party was over. 11 years later, imagine my surprise when a respected Atlanta rap stalwart releases not one, but two tracks prominently featuring samples from the Police on an otherwise “back-to-basics” album. In addition...
Perhaps worst of all, we let international students use their funny accents and sob stories about not being able to go home for Thanksgiving as leverage, stealing the finance jobs that ought to go to good, wholesome Americans. While uppity Argentines grow the United States’ economy from behind their desks at Goldman Sachs, the native sons whose jobs they’ve stolen are forced into dependence on their trust funds years before their time. All the while, the foreign pretenders talk to each other in languages other than English, knowing full well that no self-respecting American...
...doesn't try to be ruder or kinkier, just bigger and better. It follows a rule Brooks laid down at the beginning of the series: Don't be afraid to show emotion. Audience, that goes for you too when you watch Homer and Marge's worst ever marital crisis. Sob away unabashedly...

...them, tighter than ever. The major characters all are in need of sensitivity training, and they all get it, often just before they die. They beg for forgiveness, understanding, and love. The emotions are so exalted, the movie is like opera without the arias. And virtually all of these sob-sisters are guys. It's got more noble man-love than any movie since ... well, since 300, except that these action figures don't have the Spartans' gigantic, tumorous abs. I can hear the fanboys shouting, "There's no crying in action movies!" I can't imagine them hugging this...
