...Rating: A*. Kirkland has a lot to offer, from lectures by prominent public figures to a super close-knit house community. Brain Breaks are weak, the Grille is even weaker, and that close-knit house community can be a bit smarmy sometimes. But the culture is what really drives Kirkland's appeal. It is still prime real estate, like that cramped Manhattan apartment building you’ll probably move in to in a few years. If you score this river gem, just nod blithely when everyone tells you that...
...spring break. You might think a House blog would be a selling point, but the recently launched El-Word is heavily dominated by Ho-Co and its content can be insular. Finally, while the new Inferno is no Quincy Grille, it does make up for weak Brain Breaks. We're still waiting for a Gchat ordering option...
...Scrapping schemes can have similar effects. The aim is to pump up weak car sales while at the same time taking older, potentially more polluting vehicles off the road. This seems to be working, at least in Germany. The VDA expects registrations for the first quarter of 2009 to trump those seen in the same period last year. But a more modest $1,300 on offer to French motorists who give up their clunkers hasn't been enough to prevent car sales there from sliding 13% last month. Scrapping schemes in Italy and Spain failed to halt even steeper falls...
...adjoining buildings (including Dewolfe), it's got to be tough to build a defining house culture. Add to that the fact that many just don’t want to rep shirts that prominently feature these, and it certainly gets tougher. The Stein clubs are, in a word, WEAK. And Lev really lacks those iconic rooms that drive a healthy party scene (those of you who are of party grant age, do you ever remember a Lev party really turning it out?). FlyBy does happen to be the #1 fan of LevSPN though...
...smartest, quickest man alive—unnecessarily worried the novel’s fanbase. The slightly effeminate Goode is not the obvious choice to play the square-jawed super-athlete of the novel, but he delivers a solid interpretation of the character. The cast’s real weak link is its passive female romantic lead, Malin Akerman. Though the Swede’s delivery is mostly flawless, she at times seems bored or perhaps confused with her role as Laurie Jupiter, also known as Silk Spectre II. In her scenes of budding romance with Wilson’s Nite...
