...more boring than being dead? Why do we obsessively focus on the one-in-a-million 90-year-olds who survive against all odds, and ignore the countless multitudes who have had their lives radically foreshortened because of cancer related to drinking, smoking or obesity? Why do we utter banalities like "life is for living," even as we pay good money for foods and substances that are little better than poisons...
...after the first chorus of her mind-numbing drivel. The antidote: the recently-released video “Teddy Picker” by British indie rockers the Arctic Monkeys. In this video, from their second album “Favourite Worst Nightmare,” the band expresses their utter disdain for the contemporary music video. The Monkeys break with slick mainstream productions and display a cavalier attitude. This pimples-and-all approach shows the boys in their street clothes, with bad haircuts and acne in full view. It also features some serious musicianship. The group is shown primarily...

Priour gives a nuanced performance as a sympathetic character who often seems simply sheltered and odd, but who is also infuriating in his utter spinelessness—while hinting at being seriously imbalanced. Despite these handicaps, Priour and Kargman work together to make Rosalie’s love for him reasonable. Kargman lends her character a slightly more conventional, childlike quality that matches well with Priour’s quirkier style...
