...This whole movie is really about the small things - the tone's a little more muted than what we saw in Superbad. I had always thought my fantasy career would be making indie films, and doing my own thing. But then Superbad came along and it totally changed everything. It was so hilarious and smart and extreme; you could probably do a psychoanalysis term paper on the male sexual psyche going on there. And the best thing about that movie is that these are the things that teenagers think about. Some of those who were raised a little better might...
...tone was set from Obama's first public remarks in London on Wednesday, at a press conference with Prime Minister Gordon Brown, where the American President said he had come "to listen, not to lecture." At a joint appearance with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Baden-Baden on Friday, a German reporter asked Obama about his "grand designs" for NATO.

But these early moments are merely a foil to those that follow the arrival of the rest of the cast. The play shifts tone dramatically with the arrival of Lulu, Stanley’s younger interest, and an ominous duo, Goldberg and McCann, who plan a birthday party for Stanley. As the play progresses, dialogue disintegrates and the plot devolves into disorder. Despite its grave nature, however, the play—which is billed somewhat...
...West, “Nothing to Worry About” is an elation, a nearly perfectly-constructed hip-hop influenced indie-pop dance song with a nonsensical yet addicting chorus. “Lay it Down” marks the other high point of the record. With its jaunty tone and insolent chorus of “Hey, shut the fuck up boy / You’re starting to piss me off,” it acts as the stylistic twin to “Nothing to Worry About.” But just when you’re starting...
