...Buckley’s case, the dirt comes in the form of a 1968 debate with homosexual essayist Gore Vidal (this was back when people other than Chris Matthews were permitted to speak on American television). Told to ‘shut up” and otherwise antagonized, Mr. Buckley lashes out: “Listen, you queer. Stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in the god-damn face, and you will stay plastered.” Quaint postwar vernacular aside, the moment, somehow benign on the page, seems pretty ugly on video...
...wrong to think that Westerns were flights from Cold War reality or the political issues of the day. The form attracted serious young writers, like Gore Vidal, a graduate of TV's Golden Age of live drama, who wrote The Left-Handed Gun, a Billy the Kid film that one critic called "Freud on the Range."

His houses have become trophies for West Coast tastemakers such as fashion designer Tom Ford and hair-care mogul Vidal Sassoon. All the same, five years ago, an important Neutra house was pulled down almost overnight. Then there's Paul Rudolph. For decades he was famous for his intricately configured offices and houses, with their long cantilevers and thrusting volumes. But lately almost anything with his name attached has become...
...giant stick bugs, a mysterious Faun (Doug Jones), something called the “Pale Man” (Doug Jones)—a child-eating monster with eye-sockets in his hands—and, most terrifying of all, a fascist, sadistic stepfather named Capitán Vidal (Sergi López). All aspects of production in this adult fable are expertly done, especially the visual and sound effects. Del Toro is one of three Mexican directors with Oscar-nominated films this year (the other two being Alejandro González Iñárritu with...
